Wow, havnt had a new blog in some time, sorry about that. My good friend Alison let me know that she is reading this. Made me feel good to continue on. If it helps one person, its worth it. Plus it helps me keep my self accountable.
I think the last thing I listed was a poor weight loss week. I have not weighed in since then. Not to get off the program, just have been in or on my way to Texas. I'm not entirly sure how I am doing since then. My biggest struggle is following the food program. Eating 6 times a day with everything I have going has been tough. I have tried to make the most of it. A lot of the time, honestly, I just eat less. My obsession to pig out is gone. If I do eat too much, I don't feel good. And coming from someone who NEVER felt good, I don't want to go back. Today for example. I was planning on going for a hike in the Wichita Mts, there was a bad story with lightning, so I decided to go to a casino instead. They had a very limited food menu, and I was starving. I know still no excuse (Go somewhere else right?). So I at a junky Philly Cheese steak sandwhich and fries. Now, I feel like junk, no energy, bathroom every 1/2 an hour. If you are able to think of food as fuel, and not a reward, or a way to deal with emotion, or a way to celibrate, ect...You are on the right track....
Excercise since I left has been good. I got up the day I was going to leave at 6 am, and went straight to the gym. I know a good workout wakes me up, and gives me energy. Good for a long drive. I will write more about my Texas experience in my other blog http://waynesfamilytree.blogspot.com/ ... Please feel free to read... Made it to Texas the next night. Woke up in the morning, and used my app Gym Finder. Found a gym that only charged 25 for the week. Great deals here in Texas, everything is a little cheaper, including gas. The further east I went the cheaper it got. Anyhow, I have been following the program with my workouts at the new gym. Today I even went for an extra cardio, wanted to watch the basketball game. So instead of going to a sportsbar, or sitting on the couch, I walked on the treadmill. Worked really well. Uggg, still feel like junk, from that lousy lunch...Uggg
Heres another tip, most people at the gym are to themselves. I have found it helpful to strike up conversation, especially when you are doing cardio, helps to pass time, and make new friendships. The other thing I do, is watch what other people are doing, and try to incorporate it. I found a great way to work my back today by asking. People seem to be very helpful if you show interest.
