Well I have not blogged in a while. Mostly because I was very discouraged. I was working so hard and eating right and over the past three months I have just been up and down with the same 3-5lbs. I have always had issues with metabolism. I do not eat like crazy. In fact I do not even like that many "junk food" items, I just cannot get my body to burn off what I am eating. If I had insurance I would go and try to evaluate what exactly is causing my metabolism to do this, and which foods I particularly need in order to get it moving. I own all of Jillian Michaels books and they describe this in them, but I do not know which ones to apply. Anyways, now that the weather has been gorgeous again down here. I wake up with so much energy. I managed to get the boys to keep the house clean all weekend even! It was so nice waking up today with no laundry or anything to hold me back. It also helps that my current class, a Sociology class is not stressing me out and holding me down. I cannot wait to finish school. I am officially burned out.
I was looking back on the times when my weight was the smallest, and besides the time I was sick, it was when I was working my butt off. Either a million hours at work, or multiple jobs and activities. I knew that I would eat small amounts all day in between during these times too. So that tells me that my biggest issue right now is not moving around enough. Since I have been struggling with the weird effects of working out too much and not eating enough during those times, I decided that I am just going to put as much regular excercise and moving around in my days as I can. That means taking Noah to the park each day, walking to get the mail, cleaning and going through things in the house...etc.. and I will add long walks, my new boxing equip and the treadmill a few times a week. I have no problem having an extensive workout, or eating few calories, but I just cannot seem to mix those two, because then I have issues with low sugar, or low blood pressure. So for now I will lower the calories, monitor them and add more activity that is less intense and see how that works..
I want to thank all of my friends who have not only been my inspiration but have also been encouraging me as well.
I love you all, and I am so proud of you!
Good for you lady! Keep it up, you are going to be fine, just remember that as long as you hold yourself accountable you will have success! I mean I don't always want to track what I eat because to be honest it is not always good but when I do it makes me feel better not about my food choices but about my accountability choices :) I know you can do it! <3 <3 <3
