The saga continues, but so does the learning. I got up to 285 pounds again, and now I’m back down to 264. I still can’t pull the trigger to totally make the switch to a Whole Foods Plant Based diet, but I have cut way back on my red meat and simple sugars consumption. And believe it or not, nothing changed until I started doing at least 15 minutes of strength training everyday. That kicked in whatever metabolic process was needs to get the furnace going.
I started a combination of 16/8 intermittent fasting and Total Gym workouts on Feb 5th. It has been my most painless journey in the last 20 years. It’s amazing what happens when you don’t eat anything after 7 and before 11 the next day - basically skipping breakfast, and eating more fruits and veggies. It’s also about not watching the scale continuously, and being content with an average of a pound a week over the long haul, no matter how much the scale fluctuates short term. I’m in it to win it this time. Toodles!
