Hi, guys. Gals. A very quick check-in while I wait for the water to boil for the spaghetti, then a quick inhale of said spaghetti, then out the door for church choir practice and cub scouts. I can tell it's Wednesday!
Spryng asked me my stats. I don't know if anyone noticed but I have never mentioned specifics, just that I have "over 100 pounds" to lose. Does anybody else have trouble owning up to the numbers in "public". Her question threw me into a panic for reasons I'd best examine in the near future! In any case, I guess here I go: I am at my highest weight ever, not pregnant (and pretty close even when you include pregnancy weight!): 231 today. The 2 pounds I lost last week came back, hopefully just in water weight. I think weaning the baby has thrown my body into shock! I would love, love, love to get down to 115 lbs. (I'm 5' 2 1/2") but will take it one pound at a time once I get into the 5' 3" weight range, which starts at 135.
I had a thought today: I have noticed that once I start exercising, it's relatively easy to keep that up because it makes me feel so good. Eating is much harder, I have determined, because for one thing it's a constant decision (vs. exercise which is once per day), but more importantly I feel like I'm giving things up when I eat right, vs. gaining benefits by exercise. I need to change my mindset re: eating to match the exercise mindset.
Water's boiling and I have got to go!
Have a good one!
