Well, I survived my 25-year reunion. I ate as little as possible the three weeks leading up to it, and this past weekend it was party-hardy time. I managed to get down to within 11.5 pounds of my goal weight, which was fine and dandy by me. Today, three days post-party, I am bloated and puffy and haven't touched the treadmill or elliptical since Friday. Today, I resumed eating lighter again. Lots of water, tea, a little coffee, no alcohol, etc. Low-calorie, low-carb, lot-fat, low-junk foods. No wheat. Fat-free dairy. No refined sugar. Basically, no more crap foods.
I'm still committed to getting down to 125, even though the reunion is done. I have felt so much better doing my early morning workouts, that I am hoping to just make them a permanent part of my life from now on. I have no excuses; there is absolutely zero reason why I can't do that.
I also am committed to staying away from junk food. Same thing; I feel 1000% better when I'm not eating it. I'll eat a sandwich from time to time, or other things with a little wheat in them or refined sugar in them, but in general I've revamped the way I eat and I know it all helped with making me feel better. When I do the early workouts, I have insane energy ALL DAY. Still. It still works. Incredible. And when I stay away from those foods that bog down my system and make me feel puffy and flaccid and lethargic, I feel healthier and happier and more content with life in general. I feel empowered! I'm not worried anymore about whether I will be able to keep the healthier eating and exercising going. I KNOW I CAN do it. It's a whole new life for me.
How're y'all doing out there? Any July news? I still love the feedback - it always helps to know there are others out there dealing with the same crappy weight battle!!! Comrades! :o)
