Classes started back and the last few weeks have been a little nuts. The good news is that I'm feeling much better. I attended some yoga, started coloring (yeah, like I'm 5, but the grown up coloring books they have are awesome, and you get meditative benefits), and overall just gave myself the time for the mood to pass. Am I a positive ray of sunshine? No, lol, but I never have been.
I'm sitting at 197 as of this morning. Tied with my lowest weight from a couple of weeks ago, and truthfully I haven't kept this weight as constantly as I normally do when I hit a lower weight. I've probably averaged closer to 199. Some of that has been cheats, sodium, and not tracking calories as vigilantly. I've been working out again (at least more than I was). I feel like I have my food fairly well under control. Now I really want to work on successful workout goals. This has always been hard for me, and I'm trying some new strategies to make exercise a habit.
High sodium days can make my weight swing between 2-5 pounds. My next small weight goal is to get down to under 195 so that even when I'm carrying around a little extra water I'm still under 200. I haven't tried anything new with food lately, and I've been ok with that. Now that school is starting back my lunches are consistently 1-200 calories fruit/veggie snack packs and I'm drinking at least a bottle of water every hour or two (one during each class). These are the habits that got me started and I'm happy to have them back.
