After talking to the therapist yesterday, she gave me some "homework" about internalized shame. It's something I'm going to have to get over in order for my "whole-body health" to really work. This includes my mental health.

Have I mentioned I've never wanted anything so much in my life? ;) Like, I want to be happy, healthy, fit inside and out. Completely and fully. Mind, body, and spirit.

Why settle for less?

Currently I'm discouraged because yesterday I was up .9lb and today I'm up 1.9lbs - but my stomach hurt a lot yesterday and I've been doing a lot more cardio/free weights. I think I have to make sure I keep my calories around 1600-1800 if I'm being this active - but when I'm moving more, I'm more thirsty than anything and try to drink 2/3's my weight in water (over a gallon) a day.

Oh yeah, so back to my mental health and internalized shame. A part of this I guess is confronting what I look like. Even though I've lost 75 now total (some since I joined FS and some from before) I'm still obese and I hate looking at myself. I took some selfies, so I should have some before and after photos. Even though I'm 75lbs in, it's still so much - too much. Anyway, at some point I'll have enough courage to post the photos, maybe side by side with some after pics.

If there's one thing I'm sure of, it's I'll be pretty flippin' fit in the future and stay that way.

I'm unsure if I'm eating enough. Sometimes instead of listing the exact local organic brand of items on my FS, I just select the generic listing already here or another brand that is comparable.

Yesterday I drove myself to the store. This is the FIRST time I've driven in years... like 3 years. I was so scared I was going to get lost even though I KNOW where the store is, it was insane, but once I made it there I wanted to do a little dance. You know the one you do when you're fat and you reach a goal. I did that later in a more private place. Only my dog saw and he doesn't judge. ;)
I slept like 9 hours last night. Extra cardio and stress of them working on my mold ridden home is getting to me.

I have therapy today. I know I'm rambling. I've been looking at the local gyms online. I'm afraid to drive there and I'd be so lost inside... but I want to do it. Wish I had a gym buddy to go with.

Last night we went out to dinner at Carrabba's - everyone was ordering pasta dishes with rich white sauces, fried zucchini and mozzarella sticks. And as with any Italian place, endless bread on the table.

Luckily I was able to stick to my guns, only eat 1 zucchini fry and enjoyed my salad. I ate all of it. I have little to no food waste when I go to restaurants these days. heh

I opted for a glass of red wine this time instead of one of those higher calorie cocktails. However, one glass turned into 2 and 2 turned into 3. I still did pretty well considering.

The Tuscan Strawberry Salad was delicious and so was the wine. It's a good thing there's nothing too unhealthy in my house or I would've eaten it after 3 glasses of wine. heh

The FitBit has really been helping me stay motivated. I make sure I move every hour when I'm working and my weight loss thus far has inspired others in my family to follow suit at least with the becoming more "active" part. I'd still only call myself "lightly active" but we'll get there and keep pushing it. I've got my game face on and so determined.

Shine on and I hope everyone has a great weekend xo
