Ugh. Physically, I'm feeling so much better than I have in the longest time. Mentally, I'm frustrated. I've been eating healthier than ever and getting more exercise than I have in years. The scale keeps creeping up, still. I know much has to do with my thyroid disease and metabolism that's completely out of whack. I know another big chunk has to do with alcohol (and thus evening snacking I wouldn't normally do). I know I have to completely quit drinking at least for quite sometime to get my body moving in the downward direction, weight-wise. Frustrating.
It did feel awesome to walk 35 minutes on my lunch break today. The weather is perfect today - 70 degrees, cloudless sky, nice breeze.
I've also done a much better job resisting Halloween candy than I used to. I have had a few small pieces, but normally I would have a couple handfuls easily. Yesterday was maybe 3 mini-size pieces. Today was 4 mini-size pieces.
Anyway, I'm so tired of making all these changes to my health, yet still watching the scale creep up a little more. And it's so frustrating - one expert says to eat lots of protein, another says to limit protein...rice and potatoes fine on one diet, bad on another. I don't want an easy fix, quick diet. I know it will take a long time to correct all the ill effects I created in myself - sure, some are genetic, but some are lifestyle choices. I made the choices for many years to smoke, drink, eat fast food, not exercise, etc. I can make the choice to change those thing. In fact, I have changed many things. Yet the number still moves up.
