Nov. 23rd, 2010 01:57 pmI've been obsessing about my weight more so than usual lately.
Probably because, after a bout with mono and a switch to a desk job 3 days a week, I hit the heaviest I've ever weighed.
At the highest, I was 135, which is absolutely unacceptable for someone my size. Seriously. Big boobs and all, I was 20lbs overweight. 30, if you go by minimum healthy, which I am eventually aiming for as a precaution against my genetic disposition toward goddamn everything.
I was very unhappy with that, and so set out walking Elsa a lot more, eating breakfast, and cutting down on sugars. Diet sodas, limited portion size, and less junk. I've replaced a lot of the candy in the house with clementines and crackers, because sugars, not carbs, tend to be the huge problem for me and my dye-uh-bee-tus family.
It's been slow but steady progress. I've trimmed back down a little, and I'm feeling a lot better. I have more energy, which Elle-belle appreciates (seriously she has EIGHT CANINES NOW THIS NEEDS TO STOP), but my own vanity isn't an issue. I don't care if I lose my curvy figure, which used to be a point of vanity for me, but it's a matter of health.
Any tips or advice those on my same quest found worked for them? I really would like to join a gym, but there are so many out there that I'm rather overwhelmed.
