Day 21

Well finally I got here. Had to go shopping all day for groceries, etc. It's so tiring. We travel to the mainland by Ferry to go to Costco and Fred Meyer so we can save money as groceries here are a bit much. Not horribly so, but every little bit adds up.

I can't remember all I had to tell, except I had a horrid night two nights ago with a migrane delux. Had to take Ibuprofen which I absolutely hate to do. The next day I was dizzy and in awful pain and totally nauseated. I think the pain made me nauseas it was so bad.

I hung in there with my meals and recovery.

Nothing too personal to report. I have left the kitchen in total disarray as I need to go down and spend a couple of hours working on music stuff in preparation for Tuesdays studio session. I mean, I've been at it since breakfast... so I'm tired and my feet hurt! And if I don't get some stuff ready for the studio, I'm going to be sorry! Priorities priorities!

Oh I seem to be down 4 lbs now. The scale seems to jump up a couple, then down one, then up one, then down two. It's kind of weird. But it's never gone back to where it started.

And I read a very inspiring article about a woman who took it very very slow just adding the word healthy to her meals and exericsing. In 6 months she lost 30 lbs. That's 5 lbs a month. After a year she had lost 45 lbs. Then 8 months after that she lost the final 20. I really liked this because she's been holding her weight for 3 years now. Plus there was no deprivation or starvation or severe calorie cutting. My hub always says that the slower you loose it, the more success you will have keeping it off. I believe him.

The thing to do is to establish that bottom line abstinence, mine is: "No Random Eating inbetween 3 moderate meals per day, no matter what." Then forget it about the word diet and go forward in your life. It's freedom, let me tell you!
