Several weeks have gone by…. Huh?
Saturday, March 8th, 2008Where the heck has time gone? Geez!
I look up one day and several weeks have passed. So not really sure where to begin with this update. Obviously I can’t go over my daily meals and that kinda boring anyway no? I have been trying to continue with walking and have been able to do a few exercises. I bought a bunch of the fresh vegies and then didn’t do so well. Sad to say most went to waste. Now I try real hard NOT to do that but for whatever reason, I was having some resistance coming up. That is one of te reason I haven’t updated here either.
One thing I have learned about myself and that is when I don’t do something, you can believe there is some sort of resistance attached. Either that or some stuck energy of some sort. I get locked into a pattern of NOT doing and it ends up perpetuating itself. The trick is fguring out how to get beyond that and move forward easily. :)
I have been doing some walking but not nearly as much as in the past, I think that was tied up in the resistance too. I have been on overwhelm and overload at work and lost myself to the illusion that it was all consuming. This process is continually causing me to examine and re-examine what I am doing and thinking. My walk numbers (though I can’t remember exacts because I didn’t write them down) have been pretty consitant to immediate reading in te mid to high 20’s. the heart rate at the 2 minute mark a couple of point below that and the 5 minute mark a couple of point lower still. I have tried to get that first number up but for watever reason, I haven’t been able to.
I don’t remember if I recorded the fact that I measured around my waiste to determine how much I have or haven’t lost in that very critical area. My first measurement was at 38″ and then here recently I was down to 37 1/2″ . That was probably mid February (?) I may have already blogged that and if that is the case then it is all good. If not it’s here now.
I measured myself again on Wednesday night (03/05/08) and weighed myslef. I weighed 140 lbs and my waiste was 36″ I am down 10-15 lbs and 2″ off the waiste! This is HUGE!! I have been monitoring my eating these past 2ish weeks and I am NOT dieting by any stretc of the imagination. I haven’t been eating nearly as much processed food, no sugary foods or candy (chocolate etc…) and I am still losing. I am really loving te baby step method. My body is still continuing to tell me when I have eaten something it doesn’t like. I am still starting my day with coffee and yes I do put sugar in it. For whatever reason, my body is still good with that. Perhaps it’s the amount… Perhaps it is the lack of the high fructose corn syrup. It’s all a learning and experimenting process.
This weekend I am in Arizona experiencing some awesome stuff. None of it related to weight loss specifically. …or is it??? :) *winks as I smile mysteriously*
