25 Years Now

Apr 27, 2011

Wow it has been 2.5 years already!  I cant believe it!  Life has been a little crazy for me thae past 6 months and I have not been on much.  My husband was out of work for 5 months and we almost moved to the Middle East.  When he was home he kept the house stocked with junk food so I went up a couple of pounds, NOT good :-(  I am at 137 right now and I need to stay under 135 so I am taking all sugar out of my diet again so that it will drop back off.  I had added some back in because I was dropping below my 130 mark and i dont like my body that thin.  BUT with the extra few pounds I need to get off all the sugar because this little bit of extra has to go.  My 4s are snug but 6s are still too big but i refuse to gian enough to get out of the 4s!  I am not worried because the great tool I have in the sleeve makes it very possible and doable.
As for restriction, I can eat quite a bit more than I could 6 months out, I would think about 50% more than then.  I am happy with this amount because as long as my choices stay good it is easy to maintain my weight but enjoy eating a small meal.  I usually split a meal at restraunts and take about 1/4 to 1/3 of the plate depending on how much the particular restraunts serves.  Eating out with my husband is easier because he knows the signs that I am getting full and will pull my plate away when I am ignoring the signals before I can become uncomfortable.  He also helps by moving any chips or bread out of my reach LOL, he knows how weak I can be and when I eat any of that stuff I cant fit my food!
I am moving to Pearland TX and an apartment where I will have a pool, lake, workout center, etc so this summer should be great for moving around!  I want to get into better shape so plan to get back on the weights and want to see if there are some Zumba classes nearby since I have heard that they are a lot of fun.  Once I am working out it is a fine line that I have to walk becuse I dont want to go under 130 but I guess that  is a bridge.I will cross when I get there. 
I will check back in soon hopefully to tell you that I am back where I want to be, say a prayer that the sugar withdrawals are not too severe!
