I have decided to not be so restrictive with my diet like I was last summer when I dropped such a large amount of weight. I am not unhappy with my current weight, but I would like to look better for the beach, so I suppose this is what has spurred me to be less of a slouch. Considering I ate ice cream 3 of the past seven days, ate some late night popcorn a couple of nights, and went out to eat twice, I am pretty happy I lost a couple of pounds. The biggest shifts that made a difference I think were making sure I ate breakfast first thing in the morning, substituting a lot of the bread and pasta out of my diet (though it makes running tough without as much energy), increasing my water intake, and keeping myself to only a glass or two of red wine at night if I'm going to have anything with alcohol in it.
I have been good about exercise in that I'm doing it on almost a daily basis. The big shift in mindset I've made is that I'm not spending such a large amount of time working out when I do it. If I go to the gym, I'm only there 30 minutes, or if I go for a run, I'm only off running a couple of miles. By decreasing quantity per session, I dislike doing it much less, and therefore am doing it more frequently. I feel like I've had a revelation! haha
