Ok...I have realized in the past 2 weeks that it is SUPER hard for an active person to stick to 1200 calories. I am using the filling foods and I am still hungry, which heads me straight for the bread carbs. I am not giving up, but really need to find something that will satisfy and give me the energy I need to continue the fitness routine I have in place. I am committed to this exercise and now just need to get the willpower to stop running back to carbs for sympathy!
The weather has been good the past week, so lunch time walks bumped up the routine. It is amazing to me the amount of exercise it takes to mitigate a few BAD sugar carbs. I listen to the guys at the gym whine about not being able to gain muscle and wieght and I wonder if any of us are truely happy with ourselves? Maybe we are all obsessed/possesed! LOL
I really am trying to turn the mindset corner on getting fit and strong vs. getting skinny and wearing small pants. I am not sure most people notice strong and fit women my size. I am 6 foot tall...I will never be skinny..if I am, I will be sick, and that is not what I want, so I will trade up to strength, which means that number on the scale is gona be high and I may not fit into the "normal" weight catagory for my height....(my friends laugh at the idea of me being normal in any way). When I tell people that I still want to lose 50 pounds the shock in there faces is apparent, but that is what will get me out of the "obesity" catagory on the chart.
Some days it is very depressing and hard to stay with it, which is why I suppose so many people give up. But I realize I am still so better off than I was a year ago...
Stay Tuned.
