If there ISN’T such a word, there SHOULD be. I am experiencing it, so I know. :0)
Progress report at the end of Month # 1 on my low-carb eating plan and end of WEEK 3 on my new exercise regimen. –
The numbers –
- Down 7.4 lbs since new push. Down 30.8 lbs since my heaviest.
- Lost an inch from my waist since new push. (With all my gain during the pandemic, inches loss has changed to about 26 and a half inches since my most voluminous. (Even though we have another week of April, I’ve recorded things for the month. I won’t measure again until the end of May. Hoping for some good changes then.)
The feelings –
- Feeling much more in control of myself now. I’m planning my eating with MyFitnessPal.com. I’m doing daily exercise videos with MoreLifeHealth.com/Seniors. I’m doing yoga stretches daily. Alternate days I’m also doing my elliptical trainer. (My new MP3 player is helping a LOT with this, since I can now listen to some music while I’m on it. I’ll change from 11 minutes to 15 minutes starting tomorrow.) I have a plan. I’m executing it and it is showing modest results.
- I’m not starving to death all the time or resenting the fact that my husband eats things that are off my list. He is still trying to avoid all sugar, and that’s the most important thing for him, being a Type II Diabetic (although he denies this. He says he has a ‘sugar problem.’)
New Goals –
- New short-term goal – lose another 5 lbs. (4.2 lbs to go.)
- New long-term goal – have improved numbers on the blood test I’ll have before our next primary doctor appt May 16. (blood test May 11th)
