This is the one hundred eighth day in my life without food.
Imagine my surprise when after taking a week "off" from "the project" the scale said I lost another 2.4 lbs.
While I didn't go hog wild crazy last week but I did eat in restaurants four times but I made better choices. In all cases I looked past what I really wanted on the menu and ordered what I thought would be reasonable and it worked out.
I guess "the project" is paying off, even though I am really really craving a GOOD hamburger. I miss different things in different weeks but that's what I miss this week. The smells of Summer are all around and I can smell someone barbecuing a mile away, I haven't invited myself to a strangers BBQ but I've thought about it.
What I learned in fat class: the body doesn't change unless you do something it does not know. We had a fitness expert as a guest speaker last night and while she said many things I have heard before what I took away was I need variety. It really is important to change up your workout routine because your body gets used to doing the same thing over and over so for max benefit mix it up. WHEN I work out I tend to do the same thing every time, I am going to make some changes and see what happens.
I've lost a total of 59.8 lbs. but I still have a looooong way to go. I get a little down sometimes when I think about it but I am just taking every day as it comes. Wish my luck and hide your hamburger.
Just started following your blog today--MLWF happen to be my initials so I was googling that and found you! I am also battling with weight problems--I lost over 50 lbs in 3 months several years ago but it is now creeping back on. I realized the expensive diet I had been on had been unhealthy and all their counsellors (5 in total!) have all reverted to their overweight sizes. The diet I had been on meant only drinking their shakes, eating their packed soups and bars every day together with drinking what seemed like gallons and gallons of water.
ReplyDeleteI am now trying out Slimming World where you just eat healthy food. I'll be watching your weight loss with interest--I completely sympathize with all the challenges you face.
