where is everyone - Anna

[Guest guest]

Hi Anna

 

wow, you are doing great. I went to your blog and you have lots of recipes and

info there on what you have been doing. I've added it to my Google Readers so I

can keep up with you there too.

 

I'm really more interested in the journeys than the recipes. I have lots of

recipes but having them doesn't mean I make them. I get encouraged by the

successes of others who have travelled this path.

 

I was so focused for an entire year and then I lost the focus and it all came

unglued. I'm trying to determine what happened but so far haven't figured it

out. I didn't deprive myself while I was losing. I just ate healthier than I am

doing now.

 

Thanks for your message. It's nice to know that there really are people out

there.

Thanks Audrey --

 

I¹m more determined this time than I¹ve ever been. I read ³Secrets of a

Former Fat Girl² and some of her tips just registered in my brain ‹

especially the INO one ‹ it¹s not an option. When I first started, if I

didn¹t feel like working out or wanted to eat something I knew I shouldn¹t,

I just reminded myself that it¹s not an option! At first, you have to

remind yourself periodically, but what¹s happened over time is that I don¹t

even want those foods I shouldn¹t be eating anymore, and I actually want to

work out. I never thought that would be me, but it really does work!

 

In the beginning I had to think about what I was eating and plan my

workouts. But now it¹s just habit. It¹s just what I do. I miss on average

1 or 2 workout days a month, but otherwise I am literally walking my butt

off (over hills and jogging now and then) with occasional workout videos

substituting on days I can¹t walk for whatever reason. The weight is coming

off steadily each week ­ not big drops like the first few weeks, but at a

healthy rate and I feel really good.
