It's been so long since I've posted here. I think about it everyday but I found myself to be weak and discouraged. I feel like I don't have anything good to say!
So much has happened but at the same time nothing has happened. Does that make sense?
I find that I have done really poorly in documenting my journey and I want to change that as of right now.
No more secrets. I'm all in!
I want to post as often as possible and be 100% honest about this journey: it's no rosey fairytale. I find that I have mostly posted the ups and the good parts in the past and kept the really bad side of my weightloss journey either completely out of my posts, or somewhat concealed. And I apologize for this as I know it's totally wrong. It's as good as posting a before and after picture and saying I got those results by taking a miracle weightloss pill.
From this moment on I promise to share the good, the bad and the ugly whenever I post. I do have a busy life as I work a full time job but I need to update this and keep a journal of my progress for myself as much as for anyone else out there embarking on this journey.
So tonight I leave you with this little update.
As of July 1st 2015 I am now back officially under the 350lbs mark. Before then I had been following a workout routine which consisted of 25 minutes of cardio 4 days a week + maintaining and reaching a daily goal of 5000 steps monitored with my Fitbit Flex. I followed a daily diet under 2000 calories.
Since July 1st I have fell off the wagon. I've been going through a lot in my personal life and haven't had much stability so this impacted my diet and exercise. I have had blockage 3-4 times from overeating. Mostly due to meats and bread. I try to eat balanced meals when at work but when I am home I easily have access to junk food such as pizza, cakes, candies...
I desperately want to go back on the right path. I had been used to living a certain lifestyle for so long that I now feel unbalanced and I am not comfortable living this way. I want to eat better, whole foods and steer clear of the bad stuff.
I was actually pleased with myself tonight. I made my dinner and my lunch, as I used to do in the past, and it consisted of one portion of lean meat (ground horse mixed with Kirkland pesto), one portion of mixed wild rice blend (boiled with fat free chicken broth, salt, pepper, butter) and broccoli and cauliflower (steamed and seasoned with garlic salt and butter). It's not 100% healthy but so much better than pizza right? It actually felt good to eat "normal" again.
