At the risk of being redundant: I can hardly believe I'm still here and
still doing this! Wowww!
Ohhh, the changes that have happened in the last six weeks! I've learned
SO much about nutrition and what I was putting in my body before. Even
most of the stuff that I was eating that was healthy was in quantities
that were way too large.
I'm finding that I'm becoming more and more satiated on 1200-1400
calories per day -- about 50-75% less than I was consuming before.
I'm now down 22.5lbs -- more than 5% of my original weight! That alone
is enough to make me shut the front door!
My Color Run is in 17 weeks so I found a 12 week walking program to
start building up and getting ready for that. I'm starting this week!
Walking is still pretty uncomfortable, but I'm trying to do it more.
I've been making sure I get up from my desk every hour or two and take a
trip around the office.
I exercised in two 15 min blocks yesterday. Nothing fancy and totally
low key, but it got my heart rate up and it's a start.
I still have a long road ahead of me, but I don't focus on that. I only
focus on making progress today. Today's successes will turn into
tomorrow's rewards; eventually, they'll snowball on each other and these
days will be a distant memory.
In the meantime, today was a good day. This week was a good week.
