Well… It has been a while since I have wrote anything on this blog…..
Of course the holidays and then my month long trip traveling around central america was distracting haha.
I have been back a month though. A month of not exercising, not eating right, and therefore I have gained weight.
Surprisingly enough, I lost a little weight while vacationing- even while I was on the cruise!
I got down to 232lbs….which is 56 pounds lost since I began this life changing lifestyle….
Now, I am up to 242lbs…which while a major bummer….I know I am accountable…I know why I have gained the weight and I know it is my doing and therefore within my power to undo.
A week ago, I realized this and started working out and changing my eating habits for the better….2 days into this change I developed strep throat….broke my credit card….dropped my phone in water…and developed a ….TMI but….a yeast infection… due to the antibiotic I am taking for the strep….yes, it has been an interesting week….
So, once again I am off my diet/exercise plan…you try exercising when you have a yeast infection and strep! that is wayyy uncomfortable haha.
Furthermore, I started dating a new guy. *wink*
I adore him, but he likes to eat a lot of crap. He likes chinese food and ice cream and pizza….
This has been interesting because when I started this lifestyle change back in august I was dating someone who changed his eating with me…and then we broke up…and then I was on my own for a while- which worked out great eating wise haha.
But how do I explain to a new person I am dating, that I can’t go to a chinese food restaurant…and hey, why dont we cook some bok choy and stir fry something?
He loves my body and thinks I’m sexy as hell….but I am not fine with it yet… I want to be at a healthy weight… I want to feel good about it…..So I need to do this for me, despite how he feels.
But how do I influence a guy to eat some of the things I do? Or to be a little more conscious of where we go to eat so I have a healthy choice?
ahhhhh life.
I was once dating a douchebag who was a complete sabotager, but in the beginning he liked the fact that I was eating healthy and I would cook him healthy meals and when I went over to his house he’d cook me healthy meals. Of course that was in the beginning of the “relationship” where it’s pretend to be someone else to impress you while in the long run it turns out he was just a douche anyways. LOL
Anyways I don’t think you can influence him he’s just has to want to do it. I’d say you take control as to where you guys eat at if he say’s one place and you’re not sure of it, say “hey theres this place I’ve wanted to go for a while but haven’t yet…” and go from there. Once in a while let him choose the place, but guys who like you the way you are also don’t like you changing either so you gotta make him to do things your way (of course in a way he won’t notice). Call it manipulating or whatever but it’s better than gaining all your weight back just because of some guy. (wow this comes off a lot more bitter than I wanted it too. LOL sorry…:P)
