I think ive consistently tried to lose weight over this past year, and consistently failed miserably....fortunately i haven't gained weight from where i started, but i do the up-and-down lose weight, and then just gain it right back a month later, so its like i never tried.....so frustrating....but ive recommitted to sticking with this, more than just for a week at a time, which for the most part, has been my first mistake, and now i think God has given me a totally new and greater perspective of how i eat, what i want to put into my body, and what helps me feel good about myself, you know? I hate eating junk food, or just "bad" food (whether it be fast food, or just fried food, and then hating myself for eating it, as soon as the meal is over....i hate the way i feel mostly, you know? so i think the lower carb way of eating is suiting me best, just cause i tried it for 2 weeks straight, just really concentrating on low carb, and it was so hard, but i think i felt much better as far as my GI goes, my attitude, and just being able to really concentrate on what goes in my body, instead of just eating whatever....does that make sense? Im definitely not doing no carb, but i think ive found a totally new creativity for lower carb eating, i LOVE all the protein and the salads (which i haven't been eating in like probably 6 months....sad, i KNOW), i think ive definitely found a new me in all this....
As far as running goes, ive been meaning to tell you!! Would you want to train for a 10k in february with me?? its the Cowtown through Fort Worth, i think its like Feb 27th or so, but that is what i am training for now, starting with 2-3 miles, which i think is best right now, goodness, before this last week, i think it was like, what seemed like 2 months that i had run last....yikes! so im getting back into it, and i think its so easy to forget or ignore the way you feel after running, when you want to be lazy or just dont feel like it. But there's no describing that feeling....refreshed, renewed, revitalized, AMAZING....so i will gladly keep that in the forefront of my mind as i strive to increase my mileage and lose weight!
Anyways, i'll try and update at least twice a week, maybe more if i can! I cant wait to see the changes we are going to make through this accountability! talk soon :)
