Friday! Whatcha Eatin? R U Exercising? Did U Weigh?
Weighed today. Yuck. I'm up officially 10 lbs from my lowest weight 18 months ago, but I really wasn't at that weight for long. Probably officially up 5. And I know why! While on vacay I had too much yummy junk to eat. This week I've been sick and couldn't work out either....but I am better now! Tomorrow I'll run my 4 miles, Sunday will be weights or yoga, and next week I'll get all my workouts in.
I am not freaking out, and I'm not on a "diet". I hate that four letter word, and I WILL NOT ever go on one again. I will, however, be cognizant of what I put into my mouth, my portions and how much I move. But, if I want a cookie, I'm having it...........just one though, not six!!
As I get further and further out, I really do understand the mantra "It's all up to me now". I probably have little if any malabsorbtion of calories at this point. I am glad that during the first two years I changed the way I ate and made exercise a regular part of my life, because if I hadn't, I could EASILY regain all the weight. I can eat more now. A lot more. I still get full quickly, but I can eat again in an hour or so. Therefore I have to be really careful not to graze. Maintenance is work, and it is for life.
Eats today:
B1-Jimmy Dean D-lights breakfast sandwich
B2-grilled chicken
L-chili (homemade-about 1 cup)
S-fruit naturals fruit cup
S-Chobani yogurt
D-not sure, have a function at church
I hope you all have a great weekend!

Also, it could very well be muscle with all the exercising you do. I know I put on 7lbs last year of pure sweet muscle! Of course after I broke my arm I lost it- but I'm guna get it back!!
I tend to focus on clothing size, I went down a whole pant size when I "gained" the weight and my legs felt like rock so I knew it wasn't fat. I bet your in a similar boat...

I hope so! My clothes do fit fine, but I feel "puffy" in the middle.....I suspect I might be having some lovely early menopause symptoms too.....and we all know those dang hormones will make us fatter!
I'm keeping on with the exercising though and being a bit more careful about mindless eating!!
Good to hear from you!

D: 1 baked italian sausage, few bites kraut
D2: handful of carrots and cherry tomatoes with french onion dip
S: ???? Lite and Fit Yogurt or more veggies with dip
Exercise: None today. Body too achey and stomach with too many cramps......will walk in the morning.
