A good Tuesday to all.
Temps were pretty mild this AM, thought, it's been a while since i ran, let's test the knee. All good. got in three miles before the rain later. Don't feel like i need to ice the knee, or that it has that little catch and bite after a pretty solid run. Again, I may try to get in a run every third or fourth day before it gets too too cold this year. see if i can't control the irritation in the joint.
Otherwise, chasing my last pound - could be this week, could be next. Whatever the case, this last round of weight loss i have been much easier on myself. no guilt, no anger ... just modifications, fluctuations, and commitment. feels sustainable.
There is a terribly deflating article, based on some studies, from the NYT going around social media - i am sure you've seen it - that it is "scientifically proven that permanent weight loss is not possible" or that "fat is incurable" ... come on ... really? the message is so insidious, it seems criminal. the study is observational, and not biological, nor does it examine all the critical hormones involved in weight loss, weight gain - processed versus unprocessed food - in the name of "science" it is merely an observational study of willpower and failure to find the right lifestyle change that works to maintain a healthy and fit life.
diet is a noun. not a verb. not an adjective. we need to eradicate the verb and adjective from all dictionaries.
i only journal this as a friend of mine, whose particular viewpoint on weight loss is evident(i.e. everyone else shut up if you think everyone can be fit, i choose to be unhealthy), that i couldn't help but get caught up in her post on FB because the headline alone is morally deflating ... and there is no biological or nutritional evidence in it - all psychological. The idea that our bodies biologically are programmed to store energy when we can eat ... in this food full country, does complicate our issues ... and that was the only scientific point made, in my mind. it is about awareness. it does take effort - the study basically says we lack effort. i choose to believe otherwise as i and all the good folks on this site work hard every day in the name of health and spirit. it can be permanent - i refuse to believe otherwise.
