Haven't journaled in a while...Let's see what's shakin...
I've lost at least 20 pounds since Feb 17th. Assuming I lose one more pound by Wednesday, I'll be averaging 3 pounds per week. Three years ago I lost about 3 per week for 6 months. It was very manageable, and I felt healthy at that pace. Unfortunately, we had a bunch of life changes right at the six month mark, I lost all momentum, and eventually gained back more than I lost. Of course, last time, I didn't give up sugar! Hopefully kicking that habit will put me on the path to lasting health! I have NOT been exercising nearly enough. If I'm going to have any success at YTT this summer I've got to get on the stick!
My migraine situation this spring is out of control... been having 2-day-ers twice a week, sometimes more. I know the season changing, and the pollen are factors, but seriously.... I really did believe that ending sugar/substitutes/caffeine would have helped. It's really worse now than last year. Have to get with Dr Jason about it this week. I don't really want to have to get back on Topomax, but it does help with the headaches.... too bad it makes me feel stupid~ but I think stupid and awake, is better than smart and in a coma for days at a time.
Feeling fairly peppy today, I didn't get ANY zits this cycle, but I bled a ton and was crampy... which is kind of a good thing since my cycle had almost stopped last year. Vitamin D is the stuff of miracles... my hair doesn't fall out anymore and my cheeks aren't dry like a crocodile anymore. I did have one major crying fit a couple of weeks ago.. partly because of the PMDD, partly because my ONLY coping mechanism (binging on sugar) isn't an option anymore! The cravings for everyday sweets were rough, but the craving to binge when I was unhappy... that was a shocker. I should have been prepared for it. Next month should flow more smoothly.
Seven weeks in, and I'm still holding strong! I seriously haven't slipped up even once. I am still dreaming of food, and that I've eaten something bad...and that's kind of stressful, but at least my conscious mind is in line with my desire!
My latest motto.... "Self discipline is nothing more than remembering what you want." I want health and freedom from pain. Eating well and Moving are going to get me what I want. Food is not my friend or my family or my lover.... it just IS...I will think of it as I do medicine... just a way to provide my body with what it needs to function like it was designed to. Speaking of, my body needs some water and a dish of cottage cheese and tomatoes. Enough rambling for tonight!
Peace and Love my sisters.... we all need it!
