Heya, once again I really have no idea what I want to say. Been awhile since I sat down here and wrote and just feel the need, if ya know what I mean.
Thanksgiving was a good day. Probably one of the most relaxed I can remember. We did absolutely nothing. My daughter and youngest son where here to have dinner with us. It had been awhile since we had had them together for quit awhile.
I'm afraid this last week or so has been hell on my diet lol. I gave myself some time off so that I could enjoy the thanksgiving holiday with out feeling guilty about any weight I may put back on.
You see since I was disabled my life has been very sedentary. Now some of that is do to the disability's, but there is also the ..... well, I was going to say lazy but that is not entirely accurate and its really not being fair to myself. See walking causes me allot of pain. Some days are worse than others but its always there. So my tendency to put off excessive is in part due to the fact I know its going to hurt.
There is the lazy side as well in all honesty. On days where I know it would not hurt as much as others I have tended to still not do anything.
I have been working hard on breaking that habit, and so far since June I have lost 73 lbs. I am still watching what I eat but there have been some days I have been bad lol.
I have discovered just how few calories I really need to get through a day. The most important part has been to make sure the calories I'm taken in are full of the nutrition I need for a day. If I do that then I really don't feel hungry and I loose the weight. If I eat mostly junk calories it is VERY hard not to binge.
Its really amazing how a little exercise, and eating a healthy diet can make you feel. To top that off loosing the weight is really good for improving my self opinion. I walked by the mirror the other day and just happened to glance in it. Walked away chuckling to myself. The thought that went through my head was, "Hey! there you are, where have you been?" Felt good to see my minds eye self looking back at me instead of that other face that doesn't fit my mental image of myself at all.
Don't get me wrong I still have a long way to go to meet my goal but I'm getting there and its showing. :)
Well out of things to write about. Probably because its so late and I'm starting to feel sleepy. Type at you again soon.
