August has been going very well. Maybe having less stress about eating actually makes it easier to eat healthy. I think the arbitrary blanket statement of "eat clean" was making me evaluate every single thing I ate at the moment of the decision at each meal. Instead, having general guidelines takes some of the options off the table so I don't have to think about is so much. I feel good but hopefully I keep the momentum going.
Also, what may help is exercising. I started taking some early morning yoga classes before work and most times I'd rather go home and take a nap over trying to go somewhere and eat out. I think I'll start taking spin classes too and just blast the fat right off lol. I think that will be good. Some of my clothes feel a tad bit different but I'm not sure if that is in my head. I don't think that I look any differently though so. I'll just keep it up and see how things unfold.
Honestly though, I just can't wait to feel lighter. It sounds crazy but a few months ago I just started to feel heavy. And by that I mean that I started to feel the effects of having extra body weight. Being winded after climbing stairs, more difficulty getting out of the car, just all the extra work that it takes to do a simple task. And I'm not even super huge. But I want that to be gone. I want to be more agile and have more strength so I don't randomly start sweating from tasks that come easily to most. So, that's what I'm working for. I'm hoping that I'll be able to feel the difference and see the results of my efforts by October, or by my birthday for sure.
