Gaining 0.3 kg a Week
05 April 2016
Perhaps it was because I was stuck at home with a sick kiddo today, but I had a sort of epiphany. Or, maybe it was more of a Well, DUH! moment. I have been telling myself that I am tracking my food so I can get back into a healthy way of eating and lose the bad habits that have been sneaking back into my life, but I have not really changed anything. I have been eating cookies and stealing candy still left in the kids' easter baskets. (Curse you, Easter Bunny!) The only difference if that I have been more aware that I have been doing poorly. Today, I have resolved to do something about it! I am strong. I have been successful before and I can do it again. I am setting my mind to solving this problem, kicking one bad habit at a time and strengthening the good habits I do not want to lose.
To be completely honest, I have been avoiding the scale. For months, I have felt great, gotten a lot of exercise, and my new skinny clothes have been fitting just fine, so I felt like I could be free of the scale. Then, recently, I noticed just a little bit of snugness when I pull on my jeans. A little voice in my head insisted that it was just muscles from all this hiking, but I don't think I can believe that voice. I am a little nervous to see what that number turns out to be after a couple months of not stepping on the idiot box, but I am determined to face facts tomorrow. I would not be surprised if I have gained some weight back, but I will deal with it, whatever it is. No more avoidance.
My immediate goal is to phase out the sweets that I have let back into my diet. I don't need them. I feel better without them. When I crave something sweet, I will have fruit or an occasional dark chocolate, not back brownies or take candy from my children. That step right there will take me much closer to where I want to be.
My longer term goal is to make sure my weight gets back to my goal and to keep it there.
Well...DUH!

This week I have been pumping up the amount of weight that I lift at the gym. I had sort of fallen into a rut and wanted to shake things up. I tried not to overdo, and had been feeling great all week, until today... I woke up with a very sore lower back. Ugh!
Since I obviously need to take a day off from the gym for my back's sake, I thought I would take a walk in the woods instead. I loaded up the dog and headed to the park near the house, unsure what how far I would make it. When I started, I thought I might just do the shortest loop, at least feeling good about getting out for a while. After I had walked a bit, my back didn't feel better, but no worse either, so I thought I would go a little longer. I ended up doing the much longer loop, hiking over five miles. My back did alright except for going downhill was kind of painful--but I had already done all the climbing and that was the only way home.
I went out and stocked up on a lot of beautiful fruits and veggies for the coming days. Standing in line to check out, I was looking at my items and thinking of how far I have come. There were no cookies or chips. It was not a pile of processed foods. It was a cart full of whole, natural foods. (That has not always been my policy! :) )
Have a great, healthy weekend, my friends.

Hello my friends,
I was struck by the notion today that being on this site makes me think in a certain way. It keeps me focused on the healthy lifestyle, in this case, getting me out the door early to get to the gym before I had to get to the early lunch meeting, because otherwise I would miss out on my main exercise for the day.
While my eating is still sort of borderline, tracking it does keep it in the forefront of my mind. I am more conscious of eating well. I struggle with the mix of healthy eating and the insidious "maintenance" diet I had sort of slipped into. I will keep myself focused until I can eat well without giving it a second thought.
Then again, I haven't figured out where the pinot noir fits into the plan...

I had a great gym workout today. I lifted heavier weights than usual. It was quite a challenge, but I am feeling good. I have a lot of computer work to do today, so I have been trying to get up and moving frequently while still accomplishing what I need to.
Have a good day, buddies!
