I don't know how I turned another corner, but I did (THANK GOD!) I hit the gym on Tuesday, saw the trainer yesterday, and went for a long walk at lunchtime today. I plan to hit the gym tomorrow or Sat AM as well as Sunday too. My long walk near the office is dual-purpose - I visit a farm store about a mile up the street to buy tons of vegetables for super cheap - then lug them back to the office and home. Exercise and cheap veg!

Plus a win for me... I went out last night to watch the Bruins game with friends and only had 4 drinks (over 4 hours!) and because I ate a salad before I left, I was able to largely ignore the food in front of me (with the exception of maybe 6 sweet potato fries!) Given that I walked a lot yesterday in addition to training, I'm not feeling so guilty about that.

Win upon win right now.

20 April 2012

After two weeks of being away on roadtrips (wedding and Greek Easter) and lots of indulgences including a ridiculous amount of food and alcohol, I've ballooned back up. I also got my period again for the first time in months (my birth control is funny that way). I wonder if it's the fact that I've had like 3 cheeseburgers in 10 days when normally I don't eat that much red meat (I'm slightly anemic anyway)... whatever it is, it's annoying. I can also probably attribute the fact that I weighed in at 251 to some bloating... going to weigh myself again mid- next week and see if the numbers are closer to "normal" (which is the mid- to high- 240s).

I have a friend that recently lost about 50 lbs and I am so mad that I still feel jealous about weight loss. I should be just happy for her, but I can't help but feel like people are going "L did it, why can't you?" - these friends didn't know me when I was 300 lbs though, so they can't share in the daily congratulations I give myself for the fact that I've more or less maintained a 50 lb weight loss since 2004. I beat the odds... that counts for something, right? I know I still have a LONG way to go and I feel like I've developed some healthy habits lately that will set me on that path again... when I'm stressed or feeling the need for a "pick me up" - I go for a walk. Yesterday it was a couple of miles at lunchtime. I feel the need to be outside in the sun and as a moderately reformed couch potato, it's the best feeling in the world.

My goal was to lose 20 lbs this winter, but all I've done is stay at 247-ish. My body is changing though, that I can see. I'm far more sculpted and strong in problem areas - the tests my trainer does every few months have proven that as well as the way clothes are fitting now. I am far less likely to wear the Flexees corsets when I'm out and about now too...

Anyway, the past few days I've been working towards getting my head back in the game. It's hard when I have a huge messy wine event that I bought a ticket for ages ago and then a bar crawl, but my goal is to pack my bag with healthy snacks so even if I'm indulging in the booze, I'm not taking in those extra fried food calories. Going to try to hit the gym in the morning as well, since I'm opting to stay in and get some rest after my hair appointment tonight.

Good luck to me.
