February is over!
I, once again, find myself at a stopping point for my journey. Stopping point is actually too harsh of a term….let’s call it a pause. A pause to reflect on the trend and see what happened. I am proud to say that I was able to continue my movement downward with my weight. I am now at 334! 14 lbs. lighter than when I started this year.
I can’t tell you how elated I feel about this movement and milestone. At 51, I have to try a bit harder to get the kind of results I want.
I have continued to move for a least 30 minute a day. Actually, I have been finding ways to move for an even longer time. I don’t sit and “veg-out” as the young folks are apt to say.
I have also been able to fast during the day. At the beginning of February, It was tough! Food had always been a way for me to cope/celebrate/grieve and function. So, I was very hungry at the beginning of Feb. but, I didn’t give in to my base desires.
I preserved!
I made the conscious decision that I am worth the time and the inconvenience!
After about a week of continued effort, I was finding that I wasn’t actually hungry, but energized and finding other ways to combat and cope.
Long walks.
Housework.
Reading.
Puzzles.
These things/activities have replaced food.
With the weather becoming warmer, I’ve been able to go outside and spend some time in the fresh air. All of this has taken my mind off of food and made it all about me!
My health.
My happiness.
My drive.
My confidence are all elevated.
Plus, my pants are starting to fit better!!
March is here and I have a new challenge. This one is a little off the beaten path, but I have read that it makes a difference.
Intrigued?!?
Tune into Episode 43 of Singly Married to see what I have in store for myself.
One mind, One life!
