I am so dang excited! I have lost 11 pounds since the last post! I know it doesn't seem like a lot of weight, but it is to me. You really have to consider the fact that I have started this journey SO MANY TIMES over the past few years with no real progress. I have not been at my current weight in about a year. I finally see a light at the end of that tunnel! Woo!
What am I doing differently? Well, it happened like this: I caught the stomach flu, or at least I think that's what I had. It wasn't horrible, I managed to get through it and still take care of my kids. I didn't drop a ton of weight, but I noticed my appetite was suppressed -a lot. I didn't eat very much while I was sick, and although I feel better physically, I have adopted the mentality of not eating very much. I don't hate it! I have noticed that if I just eat half of what I normally do, I lose weight! What a concept! (haha) I still steer clear of breads, potatoes, and sugar-I always will, they make me feel yucky . When my parents visited a few weeks ago, I started to slip back into old eating habits. It was a day after they left that I got the stomach flu-what timing! So, with eating less (I usually eat between 1200-1500 calories a day) combined with running just 2 miles 3x a week, walking 3 miles every night, and beginning a weight training regimen, I'd say I am well on my way to a healthier me!
