April 19, 2012 - A gratitude post

Apr 19, 2012

I am extremely grateful for the events of the last 11 months.  My life has changed in small but significant ways.  My fitness level has RADICALLY improved over this time last year and that has made my life so much easier to live day to day.  I am not exhausted all the time.  I no longer feel that I would rather die in a surgery) than continue to live status quo.  I am happy.

That is not to say that I am satisfied.  I still would like to reach my goal of 150 lbs and am quite frustrated that it is not moving as I would like, but then, I am not as diligent about exercise as I probably need to be.  I am uncertain how many calories I need to eat right now.  I seem to come in between 1000 and 1200 daily on most days.  That is enough to lose weight for most people but I am not sure how this year has affected my metabolism.  It has probably dropped and will need some sustained effort to elevate again.

All I know is that I am doing what I can, right now.  I will continue to eat properly and exercise as I can and wait.
