Yep, it's called being lazy... (that's me!)

I haven't been feeling like myself over the last month, which means I haven't been eating like I should. But here's where "learning how to eat" has come into play in my life. Even though I've been making unhealthy choices, I am not gaining any of the weigh I've lost back! Somewhere along the last year and a half, I learned to eat less, and not eat as much junk as I used to.
That is a good thing! (so, yeah, I can have pizza or chips and not gain weight, but even though I think they will make me feel better when I'm under the weather, they really don't.)

Now, I need to get back on track with my eating. And honestly, I think when I don't eat healthy (getting in my veggies, protein shake, and my water) I just don't feel good, AND leave myself open to illness.
It's called being lazy...yep. I guess sometimes when we get in those ruts we can't help it. But I'm proud of myself for not gaining any weight during these last few weeks.
It's time to get back at it!
It's time to go back into this positive and excited. I never really stopped, because it's not a "diet", it's simply learning how to eat. I think I'm on the right path!

My nemisis

I am failing miserably at this diet thing... I just want to look better and feel better and be healthy. The pandemic did me in...I'm serious. Suddenly I was no longer alone in the house, which was nice, but it turned me from getting my steps in while watching tv, and trying a new on-demand exercise routine to sitting. Mr. G working in the other room has me more self conscious about doing any of those things that I used to. And yes, that's a ME problem. Then there was the community panic of "Stores are going to run out of food!" So we were buying anything we could find in anticipation for empty shelves. (Now we know the only shelves that went empty were toilet paper, paper towels, I'm hearing baby formula, and cat food. Then breakfast sandwiches-which was odd.) But I went from buying all fresh veggies and proteins to whatever I could find. I still don't eat frozen chicken nuggets or strips, and I do make frozen fresh chicken. BUT my eating habits went crazy. I ...

Not For Me

Yeah, I'm convinced that intermittent fasting is not for me. It works great for some people, but just like the keto diet, it isn't for me. Next week I'll go back to what I was doing before the Pandemic hit. My goal will be 2lbs a week, and in about a year I will hit my long term goal. I enjoyed what I was doing before. Fasting just confused me, since I was used to a couple small meals spaced out. It is great for some people, just not for me. (plus coffee on an empty stomach didn't work so well for me) If you have any lower carb and lower calorie recipes you love, send them my way! I am always looking for something to make for dinner and love a good muffin or cupcake that won't wreck my calorie count for the day! I'll update you next week as to how getting back at it is going...

I'm Ready

One thing about getting healthy is, YOU have to be ready. No one telling you it is time to start ever works. YOU have to be the one that makes that move and really feels it in your soul. Trust me. I've started more Mondays and 1st of the months than you can imagine, and I wasn't ready so it didn't work. I've had people try to motivate me and again, that doesn't work.  I planned to start again this past Monday, but this weekend I really FELT it, I was READY. Day three and I haven't failed yet. So, I'll put that in the win column! I haven't started to exercise yet because this goofy weather has me miserable/ill with migraines and sinus issues. But making those better food choices at each meal/snack is step one. And drinking my water. Getting started is the hardest part, but I'm working it and taking it meal by meal. Two days down and a lifetime to go!
