It's my first binge day on 4HB and I reach it with mixed emotions. I feel fantastic; not hungry or deprived at all and weighed in at my lowest since the end of my first trimester with baby E., so the last thing I want to do is eat like a gluttonous pig today. I do realize that if I don't take this opportunity, it's 7 more days until it comes up again, though.
SO, I'm 1 meal into my binge day and haven't been too crazy. Added sugar to my coffee and had an organic dark chocolate bar. Result? Elation? Nope. Headache. Had a little turkey sandwich action. Will make some fresh squeezed OJ and order our favorite veggie pizza from The Good Pizza for tonight. I think that will do me good. Definitely not all of the food I envisioned for the past few days. I just don't want it so why consume it? I am on the fence about a cookies n cream shake, though.
Also starting P90X again today. Day 1 of 90 days. I'm just starting over because I've been really inconsistent and doing other things, too. I always tend to get the exercise OR the diet down, not both together, which leads to subpar results. 20 lbs. left to go. Giddy UP!

I just tweeted and posted on FB for people to follow this. Also, I want to try your diet!
ReplyDeleteOk Julie...I have never been so concerned about my weight or fitness as I have suddenly found myself and frankly I am clueless and scared shittless. I have never really had any issues losing weight without diet or exercise and have generally been comfortable with my weight. It's like I woke up last month and looked in the mirror and didn't recognise myself anymore. How did I get here??? Ok so I have 4 children...the youngest being 18 months and I gained 35 pounds with her and ate like a friggen pig the entire time I was preggo & nursing thinking that it would all just "melt" away like it did before...WRONG!!! Somehow I went from 23 to 35 and things are MUCH different!!! Anyway...I need help. I have an entire gym in my basement and I'm very intimidated by it. Not only that, but I LOVE food and have never been on a diet in my life. I am not so concerned about numbers, but I feel like a cow and I have absolutely no energy. My goal is to lose the "muffin top" and to feel good. If I had to pick a number I'd have to say that I would be very happy if I was about 60 pounds lighter, but that seems immpossible to me.
ReplyDeleteI love reading your posts...it's good to know that it's not as easy as you make it look!! Anyway, where do I start??? Any ideas or tips would be very much appreciated. :) Thanks for listening!!
Hi Jennifer- thank you so much for your comment. I completely hear myself in your words. I've been so frustrated that I've cried- more than once. Our bodies definitely change as we get older and the more kids we have. We have a lot in common and my advice to you is treat it like you would an elephant meal.... one bite at a time!
ReplyDeleteToday I am posting about something you may find helpful for you. And even if it's just walking on the treadmill for 10 minutes or do some situps in that gym at home, do it! :) Thanks for listening to me and I look forward to seeing you at our 20 year reunion- both looking hot!! :)
