The little things 4 (1-towels, 2-squizing in, 3-socks)
Interesting to compare 1 pound of yogurt is just a jar which nicely fits into my hand. yet 1 pound of fat, is a huge nasty blob. Are they equal - yes of course, mass is same 1 pound. But perceptually they are not, one can produce the other, and when we look at volume we can see how much yogurt is smaller. Food, life, relationships, many things are all about volume, substance. I don't want just a guy, I want a top quality one, right?
I stood there at Trader Joe's reading lables for yougurt trying to find plain with little amount of carbs, and no fructose or corn syurope...and today I tried on my something my mom used to wear before (for a brief period as she transitioned between weight. She did lose over 50 pounds and have kept it off for 2 years now). It's a coat like thing, made out of wool, but thin (sort of like cardigan), when she gave it to me on Thanksgiving it would not even stay on...now I still cannot close it, but it looks ok. I am sitting in at work, and it reminds me of mom... (just some thoughs)
So I'd like to say hello to everyone who recently joined. I got so wrapped up in my own depression this past week, that I barelly noticed anything and anyone. Welcome to the thread. I know someone asked about our stories, and actually over the last 2 months I've been trying to learn them, but yet I don't know everyones. Perhaps all will agree to share...Here is a brief summary of mine.
Russian born (hence bad english grammar), lived in US for 12 years, professionally employed (sitting down job). Began on the first day of December. Results so far are 14 pound loss as of today (yes 1 pound for this week). Measurements taken on Dec.18, and yes I will be seeing how those changed this weekend. I like what I am trying to do, because I don't want to be obese. I enjoy writing and analysing (hmm it sort of comes as part of my daily job) because it gives me the sensation of learning...
Yesterday's report
A: Food (3) -Day 4 (Jan. 19) Done. Yesterday's and day before lunch was delish. Poached salmon and grilled chicken breast with salad. No dinner both days, instead a yougurt and a clementine around 4pm ~1.5-2 hours prior to my workout.
B: H2O (3) - Day 4 (Jan. 19) Done, I started even craiving it more often and feeling thirsty
C: Gym (3) - Day 4 (Jan. 19) Done, have been at the gym every day this week. Monday did 1.5 of my old routine. For two days after my legs have been sore. Yesterday did 100% of routine. I was so happy that I could. I took me 1.5 mo (30 days of excercise) to get used to it again. Felt sore while at the gym, and during eve, but ok today not like Tuesday. Another intersting thing.... I was working out 50% through my routine and felt how sweat was uzzing out of me...interesting feeling (sounds gross I know, but that's something to look forward to in the future).
Red, Fish thank you for supporting me, i understand all of this, but I want to remember these details, because I want to adapt them now, for a healthier me...
