I cannot be trusted with cereal. Was tired of hard bolied eggs, done with the Whole 30 so I figured I would have some Kellogs Crunchy Nut cereal. Bad idea. Carb cravings like friggin crazy. And a very bad day followed. Still have a fat girl's brain.
Walking up to the glass doors of my office building: I noticed I wasn't waddling any more. My ass and thighs didn't take up the whole picture.
I had zero trouble walking up the stairs to my office.
When I wrapped the towel around myself yesterday it actually went all the way around! No gaping view of thigh and ass cheek. My husband high fived me.
I bought a couple of five pound weights and an eight pound kettlebell this weekend. Pretty low weight compared to what some of you beasts lift but that shit feels heavy to me right now!
Been out of sorts since the Whole 30 ended. Told my man I am just going back on it. It is easy, it works for me, I felt great. So I am back to the Whole 30, except maybe now it's just "the way Beth eats".
Your last sentence is the BEST observation EVER...I get you on the cereal; if there's anyone out there who actually eats a "serving size" and couldn't put away a whole box in half an hour, I'd like to meet them. Just getting started with strength training is an awesome step, to.
ReplyDeleteI had to go back and check what my last sentence was. It really worked for me and my doctor thought it was good. Why not just stick with it?
DeleteI damn near did eat the whole box. It was ugly. Then I felt like shit. Even uglier. Hopefully that will be the last time I need to learn that lesson.
I meant "This is just the way Beth eats now" but all that too! :) You're doing awesome, the cereal is just a blip on the radar and you are over it. :)
DeleteI knew what you meant, I'm not writing very clearly. All of my proper and intelligible writing is being used on the classes. The blog is getting the dregs. ;)
DeleteLove this post!!! I thi k the hardest thing is accepting that we can't eat the way we used to and think well get diff results. You rock!
ReplyDeleteThe old definition of insanity- doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
DeleteYes, agree with Norma. I love that last sentence, what a great attitude to have and one that'll do you so much good for the rest of your life!
ReplyDeleteSusie! Glad to see you. You had this attitude and can have it again, I know you can. Where is my old nemesis???
DeleteI am with you on the cereal. It's a carb-bomb trap, for sure. I could put away a box sitting in front of the TV. Baaaad news.
ReplyDeleteI hate it, but that "fat girl brain" doesn't go away totally. It gets easier, but never leaves. *sigh*
It's cereal, not fudge covered brownies with a side of ice cream, why is it so easy to eat so much of it?
DeleteGlad to know it gets easier!
I'm glad you found something that works for you! I like your last sentence as well! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you are going back on the Paleo style of eating. It has really helped me maintain my weight loss. Cereal is on my list of things I don't EVER eat again.
ReplyDeletePaleo/Primal is a great template. Good luck and keep adding to your new normal.
Yeah, I can't touch cereal with a ten foot pole either. It really sends me to deep, dark places in my twisted brain.
ReplyDeleteAnd YAY for the new way Beth eats! Such a relief to find something that works.
I'm fine with cereal, but other carbs get me so I can relate. Yay for finding a style of eating that works well for you!
