gluten free still but damn world is making beautiful gluten free replicas that are damned good. so, going to try back with 80% primal - keeping eye on carbs more than anything but not being obsessive about it - brown rice is ok, sometimes sweet potatoes are okay, but for the most part stay away from that white shit. going for under 100 carbs / day to start, will see how it goes and see if that is alright, or if i need to cut down to kick start this. 135 is where i can and should be. plus that white shit just makes me feel crappy and moody. why eat it?
will stick with 'big eater day' because thats sustainable and allows me to have a bit of fun here.
supplements -
you want pizza? make that crappy cauliflower pizza crust. it does the trick, and its so complicated you'll rarely make it/
you want a hot dog? make it a big eater day treat.
wine? yes.
you want something with curry/ saucey stuff? grated zucchini or riced cauliflower
chips? try cucumbers
eventually you will get to the bit where you look at little things like cream in coffee, cheese on things; snacks here and there; wine. but for now, see if you can be non-obsessive and get down to 135. lets give it til katie's wedding (22 dec), as an end goal. which is about 7 weeks. so if not 5 down (under 140) by oct 15 (should drop more quickly), then look at calories more seriously.
exercise: one long run per week (for mental and physical health) - 5 miles is good, try to go faster (at exactly 9 mininute/mile now); then in addition to that work out HIIT at least twice per week - 3 is better but lets be real. so, whiney hineys, wonderfarts, insanity, whatever.
and finally - this stand up desk thing is going to be good. have used it for just a few days now but its definitely fun and can do this all day easily. with music playing, dancing ensues. this is going to be a good change too.
the thing i need to keep telling myself in all this is that the important thing is how i FEEL in my body. i realize that i'm never going to have a tiny waste - its just impossible. when i look at pictures of myself, i can't think, 'god i'm huge' because shit, i'm not. i'm healthy and just have a shape that's not a petite little fucking thing. so what. if i feel good in my body - that clothes fit, that i'm in shape, that i'm healthy, that my stomach is flat and things aren't rolling, that's the sign that i'm at a good weight. being stick thin is gross; being toned is not. so i'll look bigger in clothes than i would if i starved myself. i need to get it out of my head that this is what is beautiful. that being a clotheshanger is ideal. no, it isn't. if i get past this, then i'm happy. 135 was when i was perfect - i got down to 128 at one point and i was still definitely healthy, but that was hard hard work and not sustainable. so lets shoot for 135, see how i look. see how i feel.
