Okay folks here we go. I have so much on my mind that I may need to spread it out into more than one post. Last night I went to a wellness class offered by a friend at church. I love going for so many reasons. I feel like I am really making progress in my life, and yes today is weigh in day, and I am getting to that.
One of the things that Margie talked to us about was a talk given by Jeffrey R. Holland entitled, "The Best is Yet to Be", from the January 2010 Ensign. The quote that has been ringing in my heart says, "The past is to be learned from and not lived in. We look back to claim the embers from glowing experiences but not the ashes." What a powerful statement. I mentioned how I made some bad choices over the weekend, and as I predicted they showed up on the scale, but I am not upset. I made my choices, and now I need to refocus and work a little harder for next week. My current weight is 250. I gained one pound, and considering the amount of junk I ate, that is really not too bad.
So lesson learned, I cannot eat willy nilly and exercise and expect that the 2 have no effect on each other. I am recommitted to my food plan, and this week I will have a new focus. My goal for the week is to evaluate how much protein I am eating. I will do this by reading labels more carefully, and logging my meal choices. I still believe that I can eat whatever I want and continue to lose weight, as long as I am exercising, the amount of each is the key. I understand too that the intensity at which I exercise is a big factor. I have decided that as much as I love yoga, it needs to be in addition to a regular cardio workout. Cardio is vital for me.
Well I am off and running, not literally, but I am getting closer to getting my feet off the ground.
