Wow, how quickly two months can breeze by. I must be honest and say that I have not been very good at my program of late. I am preparing for the Vancouver Baker's Market and I have been up to my eyeballs in candy, cakes and pies (oh MY!). It would be irresponsible of me to sell my wares without having tried them first, right? Ah who am I kidding. Off the wagon again but luckily still losing pounds.
I am currently at 215 lbs and about 38 inches around. I am happy about that and I attest my modest success to three things: subconscious adherence to the Strict Week rules much of the time, portion control, and Curves Fitness. I have been on my program for four months now and many of the lifestyle changes that I found so hard at the beginning are almost (I say ALMOST okay, I'm not a hypocrite) second nature. It is easier anyway.
Portion control is a big one. Some people lose tons of weight on portion control alone. I have been eating just enough to slake my hunger, not to the point of feeling full. I eat several times in the day, pretty much when my daughter eats, and I find that if I get it right I am never really hungry.
Finally, Curves. Horray! I have been looking forward to starting a workout schedule and it is really working for me. I am lucky to have the kind of muscles that build quickly and the more muscle one has, the more fat is burned. I have only just started but I can see it as being a very good way for me to get in shape. Thanks to Mom and Dad for gifting me the membership!
So I am going to forgive myself for any transgressions that happen this month with Thanksgiving, the Baker's Market and Hallowe'en fast approaching. November is when I tighten the belt in preparation for Christmas feasting. Believe me, the way we do Christmas I will need the seven weeks of good behaviour!
