This last year has contained a lot of ups and a lot more "downs." Over the course of 365 days I managed to loose 65 pounds. Well, I didn't lose them so much as got rid of them, because I have no inclination to find those pounds again.
It takes a lot of hard work and dedication, a smidgen of research and more hard work. I want to reflect on what has and hasn't worked for me.
What hasn't worked:
- Processed foods.
- Anything that has a shelf life.
- Chips, lunch meat, white breads and pastas.
- Anything "creamed, creamy, smothered, glazed."
- Pop, sugary drinks, crystal light... the list could go on and on and on.
- Anything that includes soy or soy bi-products in the ingredient list
- Sitting on my butt. Not moving enough.
- Thinking that things will just "work themselves out."
What has worked:
- Fresh produce
- Fresh fruit
- Whole grains
- Water
- Clean eating - nothing processed, no GMO's, no GE's or anything that includes "artificial" in the ingredient list
- Weight Lifting and Cardio
And now I've run into a new issue:
I need to find a job now so I can afford clothing that fits. LOL. Yes, my black spandex work out clothes are beginning to hang off of me. I suppose it's one of the best problems a girl can have? Not to mention that my "new" shirts are looking like circus tents on me as well. :P
