Wow, been a while since I posted. Did you think I gave up?? No way. I had my laser eye surgery on 4/20. Recovery was a little rough at first, and then for a while after that it was still pretty difficult to use the computer and I had to limit my time. Seemed like a good reason to take a quick break from this site.
I also had to take about a week off from the gym, doctors orders. But now I'm back to it and all is well. Definitely nice to be able to workout without glasses OR contacts!
I got back on the scale this morning for the first time in about a month. 163.5 which is about what I expected. My body seems pretty happy to stay in the 160-165 range as long as I am eating right (but not being ultra-restrictive) and exercising consistently. Previously I had decided to "buckle down" and really push myself to lose more weight before my trip at the end of this month. But after the surgery, and after some long, hard thought about it, I decided its not worth it to go super-restrictive for the next month. Sure, I might lose 2, 3, even 5 pounds in the next 3 weeks if I really kill myself. But, then what? I'm still not going to have a perfect body. I will NEVER have a perfect body-- as long as I've told myself that I think its finally starting to sink in. I could also die on the way to the airport in 3 weeks and then the last weeks of my life I would have spent making myself miserable just so I could weigh 5 pounds less. It's not worth it. My current lifestyle makes me happy-- I like the way I eat, I like working out, I'm healthy, and I am generally comfortable in my body. Why do I need to push myself so much further in pursuit of a better and better body (that, again, will NEVER be perfect no matter how hard I push)? I need to make peace with myself, be proud of what I've accomplished and enjoy maintaining my healthy lifestyle.
