I did it, not easy though..

Well it was around 3-4pm and I was getting a bad headache. I told hubby I could cook dinner, and he said he’d do it since he knew what i needed to acomplish. I mentioned I might do some chicken broth or something. I did have my multi-vitamin in the morning, then took another around 2pm. I was hurting around the 3-4 hour time. UGH! So I just upped my water intake and still contemplated what to do, yes even eat.

Then I got online to read up on this way of eating, I had done before and love. I was getting so stoked by it all and passed the headache phase and into the more energy phase! Woo Hoo. This will happen again in about 5 days. I will be fatigued cause my body has to change what it burns for energy and stop storing fat, but burn it!

I did it, and I just had to come back on and blog it. So awesome. I am so glad I can now finish my day, foodless, and begin tomorrow with my re-new eating lifestyle.

This won’t happen over night.

Ready to Reboot!

Here I am. And I am ready – mentally and emotionally! Ready to reboot my system – or in my Macintosh days, my favorite terminology “zap my P-Ram”! heehee anyway, you’re probably wondering what am I talking about? I am ready to get back to Eating Right and Exercise. This is what the doctors always tell us to do, but when they tell us to do it… it’s sooo not-fun to do! When it’s a personal, self-motivated choice, I believe the success is more possible and long term.

I did this before (ate right and exercised) and was in a season where it was more work and got off-the-wagon for sure (i had two kids), but now I am ready again! YEAH! So today, I am fasting. I am fasting for my health. I do this every time I’ve changed they way I eat. And I’ve done them all (low calorie, low fat, low salt, low carb, etc). They have all had their individual successful results. I have one I am passionate about – because i know it works for my Body, my Life, my Health and it’s more realistic to maintain.

Why now? Why? Well I had told myself since giving birth in Feb 2007, that I would not go crazy on myself about weight loss until he was one year. Well that time has come and passed. I was kinda ready and the best thing is I am more ‘hungry’ for more activity in my life! Walking or taking the kids to the park etc! So this has helped motivate me. Then, I guess after a few days of eating myself happy – My anniversary and such – I was like … ok that was a fun ride, now lets get back to business!

So the photo was one my hubby took yesterday and thoguht I would post it publically. No I don’t think I look bad, but I know I don’t look too healthy either. Don’t get me wrong, I so feel like a BBW and love my curves. I am just ready to eat better for my life’s sake. I may not (and dont want to) be a size 6, but I do want to be more healthy inside – my heart! With PCOS and a family history of health probs, I want to eliminate or postpone them if possible.

Join me if you want, to eating better – whatever your diet or activity change choice may be! I have a friend who is also making this decision and is doing it in a different way, but we’re doing it for the same reasons and want the same results. For our Health, for our lives!
