UGH, Neverending Monday Start-Over
Aug 12, 2013
My last update was over 3 weeks ago, and I am up another 3 pounds to 176. Lately, I just can't seem to get it together AND I seem to be having hormonal issues once again. Joy. Just like last summer, my period is way off track. I never got my period for July, still haven't....and it's almost the middle of August. UGH.
I know that this is PART of my problem. I am still experiencing the increased hunger and cravings that come with PMS, but I am not getting my period, which usually re-sets everything.
I really plan on just knuckling through it. IF this is just my body telling me I am peri-menopausal, I HAVE to find a way to deal with this AND lose weight. I can't sit and cry over how difficult it is.....at least *I* have a beautiful sleeve to help me from eating stupid amounts of food. Most women entering this lovely phase of life, do not. I *do* have control over WHAT goes in my mouth. I also have control over how much exercise I give my body. So......time to stop with the excuses already. Seriously.
My wedding and party is less than 2 weeks away. I figure, if I buckle down, I can lose the extra 6-7 pounds I have picked up in the last 2 months. No, my body doesn't lose weight that quickly, but I am sure at least 2 pounds of this is water weight. I am loading up on water with lime, right now. I will also take my 3 mile walk at lunch today. Getting back down in to the 160's can absolutely be done....and it will.
So, back to intermittent fasting and eating primal for me. It's not a sacrifice, it's doing what's best for my body and health.
