I have been trying to decide on what to write about. Originally, when I first started out on Twitter, Facebook, Friendfeed etc…, I started out telling about my weight loss. With major thought about my weight loss, I am going to write about me and my weight loss. The decision for this is to maybe…hopefully give someone else the support they need to inspire their desire to lose weight if they need it…the safe and healthy way. Plus this will give me insight as to whom I am now, and what else I need to change in my life.
One thing I have learned with losing weight is it involves three things to make for successful and long lasting weight loss. These three things are exercise, healthy and controlled eating habits and a healthy view on one’s self to succeed.
Since moving to Victoria, BC about a year and a half ago I have lost approximately 20 pounds and with everything that has been happening in my life, I have put that back on but not more than that. I am back to 264 lbs. A lot of the gain has been because I have become lazy in my habits again…not exercising enough, eating good and not so good foods for me, eating at the wrong times and generally stressing out about everything in my life and to everyone around me. Not so good when trying to lose weight. Well the time has come to get back on the road to weight loss success.
For the last few weeks, Ed & I have been eating healthier (more vegetables, less starches and more protein and fibre, cutting out the junk). This has helped to help my digestive system get back on track. I feel more energetic now. Now to get on track with little or no caffeine. This is one thing even when thinner I could not quit…I have no will power when it comes to coffee and tea. So as little as possible it will be.
Yesterday I had also checked out the recreation centre’s weight room, pool and work out area. Will be picking up a pass to start exercising indoors through out the winter months. And since I am a high stress person, I am looking into self-meditation to calm my inner self.
This is the start to a better me. I love me and I want to be around for a long time.
Writing again soon. Cheers & <3 to all!!!
