Denial or the naked truth?
I have been in denial!!!
I thought I can do it without ever checking!!!
But I noticed over the last couple of month that I didn't like my reflection anymore.
It's not that I don't exercise, or that I stuff myself with junkfood all the time. Luckily I don't care for takeaways!! I love fast food i.e apples, bananas, peaches, figs....you name it.
But and yes there is a big BUT: I have overindulged: Too much dark chocolate, too many glasses of wine, a packed of crips after dinner although I am not hungry, snacking on nuts at my desk because I am bored and just general portion control has been out of whack. I am using smaller plates now....but if I fill them twice?!
The naked truth: Last time I weighed in - 608 days ago - on the 27/01/16 -
today on the 26/09/17 - 73.5 kg!!!
I guess it could be worse, but nevertheless it is just simply too much for my 5 foot 6 frame.
Usually it depresses me if I step on the scale as it never says what I would like it to. But yesterday I just needed to be honest with myself. And it just told me what I already knew!!!
So what am I going to do about it? Carry on regardless?
Of course. No good burying my head in the sand. Pay attention to what goes into me. Listen to my body more. Step up the exercise a notch. Pick up the heavier bells, powerbags, lower the TRX for more resistance, increase the level of intensity on the eliptical.
Breath!!!
That means carry on with the yoga practice as it relaxes me, focuses me and centers me.
So if you are reading this: Encourage me :)
Made my first batch of seitan last night. I am excited to try it at lunchtime. High in protein and low in fat.
The garden is starting to slow done now. I had a fantastic crop of beans, tomatoes, carrots, beetroot, courgettes and butternut squashes. My autumn raspberries are still going strong :). Foraged walnuts over the weekend that still need to dry. Still need to pick sloes.
Have you noticed that there is an abundance of berries and nuts this year? Are we in for a cold winter?
Happy Days :)
