I was sick with a head cold for a week after my last weigh-in. The past two days I've been able to resume my workouts. I ran 1 mile on Sunday, walked 1.5 miles, and leisurely walked another 2 miles or so around my neighborhood. Yesterday I lifted weights, did strength exercises, yoga moves, stretching, and used my massage roller (total of 50 min). Today, weather permitting, I will go for a 3 mile run.
It feels GREAT to be back to working out. I totally missed it. It also feels great to see the scale still steadily going down. It's great to see those low numbers, but it's even more rewarding to look in the mirror and see a slimmer, fitter me looking back. The fat is falling off me and the muscles showing through now that I've figured out how to give my body what it needs, and my mind being all for it. It's like they're working in sync now.
It seriously IS a journey, and during it I had to be flexible, try new things, learn what works for me, even do some research. Along the way, I became a health nut. I now can honestly say that I enjoy (love) working out.
Recently I have freed myself from my food addiction. Over the last 3 years, I've eaten healthy, but I still was tied to food - it had a pull on me, being more than just sustenance to me. But now I'M in control of my food, rather than the other way around.
It's taken a long time to get to this point, but I stuck with it and didn't give up. It's a very slow process if done right, to allow the mind to change. Because weight loss (and fitness) is very much mental, the mind must change along with the body for it to not be a struggle to maintain.
I didn't rush the journey and wasn't impatient. The journey is the most important part of getting healthy. Don't let it pass you by. Learn as much as you can during it. Eventually you WILL become that naturally slim person you've always wanted to be, and no longer the overeater who loses and gains the weight over and over again. It requires a change of mindset, not just lifestyle. My prayers are with you that you will achieve this. Take care.
