I worked out 6 days in a row. I logged everything I ate. EVERYTHING. I watched my carbs and my protein.
And I gained 2 pounds.
Now lets take a moment and remember this was not about dropping pounds, this was about being healthy.
I feel better.
I feel great.
No heart burn.
I am sleeping well.
I think my allergies might even be better.
I am sticking to it.
So my trainer has me adjusting my intake a bit upping it and really following her recommendations for a full 5 days. So we will see what happens next week.
What will I do with the next 14000 days of my life? Continue to unhappily live in a size 18 pants that are too snug? My mind will say "hey lets go for a walk, or a swim" and I just don't seem to get out the door. What in the world is my problem? I am 45 years old. What is the second half of my life going to be like? Am I going to live with the 200's on the scale? Eating brownies and ice cream and candy?
Maybe it is muscle you are building. I bet you are off and running. I have every faith that we can do this! We might be doing different things but WE ARE DOING it! We are making small and large changes. I was thinking about that this morning...all of the small changes I have made have got to amount to something. And they are..and they will...and they do! I put my jeans on after work and I so wanted them to be very loose (yes let's all accept how super impatient I am) but they only fit better. But guess what? THEY FIT BETTER. This encourages me not to stop. And I read your words and your healthier ways and new tackle on life for YOU are encouraging. Hug from the East Coast. Muaaaaaaahhhh!
