I went to the gym today and I got a good workout in. I ran 4 miles, and I did abs. I have been worried that I will lose the fitness level I have achieved by not running at least 4 miles. So I did that today and I am happy. I also weighed the same, which is a relief. My weight has been going up and down so much the last few months that I can barely be happy when I DO lose weight, because the few pounds I lose seems to creep back. I really want to get below 170, and soon. Today when I went to the gym, I sat in the steamroom, and I brought a beach towel I had in storage. The last time I used the towel was when I went to go see my dad in Colorado, which was right around Memorial Day and right when I quit smoking. I got that towel out of my bag and it smelled like cigarettes! 8 months later! It was a total affirmation that I do not want to smell that way anymore. February 1st will be 8 months. January 20th was my 1 year anniversary of the diabetes diagnosis and the beginning of this weight loss journey. I know it's a lifestyle change, but marking the anniversaries is a good thing for me. Doing this for a whole year, it doesn't feel like a "diet". It does feel like a lifestyle change. I haven't had a hamburger and fries for a whole year. That's what I have been craving lately. Maybe if I made a hamburger at home and made some sweet potato oven fries. Maybe I'll try that.
