After insane weight fluctuations, I plan on sticking to a healthy, realistic plan. I have managed to get myself back down to 115.2 after blowing it hard and blowing up to 118.6 about a week ago. I've been eating well and only letting myself have small amounts of food that aren't great (think small slice of white bread with butter, a bite of a cookie) and it honestly keeps me from feeling deprived. If I was starving myself and not eating enough calories, I wouldn't be satisfied with the small bits of "bad" food but I let myself have it once I'm full and it has been working well.
The weight is coming off at a reasonable pace. Normally, I can restrict myself enough so that I lose weight fast but I am learning that the weight loss never lasts. After all, it gets to the point where I end up super bingeing because of the restricted calories. No more of that! I have upped my exercise (especially my cardio) and I have a weight loss partner which helps.
February is 300 month for us. We are each doing 300 ab exercises a day in addition to any ab exercises we may do in a workout class. This is going well coupled with running about 1.5 miles a day. I know that isn't much but I'm working my way up. I get tired but the Vibram shoes have me sore in places I'd never imagined so I'm taking it slow.
