Sorry folks its been a while since I have last posted on here. I have been so busy with school and life I had little time for extracurricular activities (aka posting on this blog). Since last August I have lost 30 pounds and have gained a bachelor's degree. It was great to achieve both goals, but I hope to lose more weight and get my master's in less than two years.
I have not done anything special to lose weight, other than I made a promise to myself that I would reduce stress in my life. For me, stress makes me gain weight so easily. I eat more, I am too tired to work out, and I crave convenient foods which tend to be less than healthy. So, ways that helped me destress was to make adequate sleep a priority, stay organized, and to not "do it all." Also, even though I occassionally worked out, I did make healthier choices and controlled my portions and such. I don't like counting, measuring or keeping track of things, because its too time consuming. I try to take a natural approach to eating by listening to my body's cues and to stop eating after I am full. I want to have a healthy relationship with food, and to enjoy it while not obsessing over it.
Since its been nice out I have been walking more. I like to take in the fresh air and to process my thoughts while walking. Its my "me" time. I like to be alone sometimes and to just think and reflect. I hope to get back into running long distances again, but I don't want to put too much stress on my joints to I am easing my way back into it.
That's pretty much it for now. Later on I will post some nifty ideas that will help make moms' lives out there just a little easier.
