Hello All. Just a quick post today :). One week in and I am down 12 lbs. I am rather shocked by that, although I am sure it is mostly water weight. I continue to limit my sugar intake, and I am taking in mainly carbs that are complex(some fruit, wheat bread, yogurt, etc). And as I posted the other day, the most *miraculous* thing so far is that my appetite and cravings seem under control. I am not calorie counting, or following any specific diet. I am just listening to my body and trying to be more active. I eat when my body says its hungry, but yet not ravenous to eat junk like usual. Its a totally different kind of hungry. I have used the treadmill a few times for 30 minutes and have done mostly walking with an alternating running(not jogging). I know this one minute segment of running is what is helping my lungs and body to build endurance. I feel like I am going at this pretty slow and taking this as another learning lesson.
I am currently reading a book about food addicts. I will give more info about it when I get further into it. But so far, it makes an awful lot of sense and makes me look at this journey differently. I think I am battling a sinus infection and cant seem to taste or smell anything today, or yesterday. I do feel better than yesterday, but if tomorrow isn’t a ton better it may be a trip the the Dr for some antibiotics.
Hope all is well. I will check in again soon.
Jennifer
