I've learned to relax

Life sometimes passes us by if we let it. For the past few months, I have struggled with this thought, and have decided that I need to make some changes to seize the day and get the most out of life. These musings are the result.

The Incredible Shrinking Man

I'm shrinking.
3 Weeks ago, I was up to a whopping 225 pounds. Yes, Virginia, I was fat. Today I stand before you a much smaller fellow. I've dropped down to 216, and I'm showing no signs of slowing.

How did I do it, you ask? Easy. Stop eating crap, and getting off my ass to move. Yup. 2.5 weeks of working out for about 45minutes a day, and no fattening desserts/foods. I call it the DUH-diet. Stop eating homemade icecream, nachos, etc. Start doing aerobics and doing a little bit of weightlifting. The result: pants that fit again.

Sadly, this is not sustainable. I NEED desserts. I promised myself no desserts until I hit 210 pounds. Sadly, this weekend I'll have to break that- we have a recruiting weekend with great dinners tomorrow and Saturday, and I'm not turning down cheesecake.

Also, school got WAY more work intensive this quarter. WOW. More to come later.

    congrats on the 10lbs! that's a great milestone to reach!

    re: desserts, why not try the eating mindfully method? have a bite, then PUT THE FORK DOWN, chew and savor, then if you're still hungry, have another bite and PUT THE FORK DOWN again :) Bet you won't eat the whole thing but will still really enjoy the portion you do eat.

    Have a great weekend, Benlo!
