Feeling better in every way. Physically, and mentally too. I was 185 again today!!! Hooray!! My all time low which I saw for the first time on Christmas Eve!!! I feel motivated and inspired and rewarded---i was thinking last night whether I should have a piece of pie or a cake truffle ball when it occured to me that I didn't really want either and I certainly didn't need either. I compromised and had a small peanut cluster. I haven't been excercising, but tonight I will do some gentle wii and tomorrow something else gentle and then Monday be back for real. I'm excited for both the SLC 1/2 marathon and also to train for next December's 5K Santa Run. I've never been able to jog for any distance---well, ok yes I did the year before Catherine was born--HEY!!! That's how I can train for both events!!! There is a book called "Marathon made easier" It's an old book, but I really liked it. It starts by just jogging for 5 minutes then backing down and then increasing. I can work through that book jogging for what it calls for and then walking the rest. I will look this book up right now! YAY!!
Food wise, I've been lazy about logging into WW, just sort of mentally keeping track. Tonight is pizza night--so in typical dieter style I'm going to start tracking more carefully tomorrow again. (We go shopping on Saturday).
I also feel so relieved and grateful in general for my body. I was watching 1/2 ton man yesterday and it showed all kinds of people who are simply HUGE--800, 900 even 1,000 pounds. Totally bedridden and totally hopeless. I found the doctors maddening. One doctor was "helping" his patient by putting her on 700 calories a day!! Who lives like that??
