I like your ‘balancing act’
So true that it is important to find the balance.
You proved to yourself that you could do all those wonderful things to improve but there was something missing – balance. Its great to see how you have reflected on this and have adjusted to find a happier you.
Keep it going sQ.

Exactly, Alicia. Rest renews you and keeps you going. Having a “day off” from working out or a “non-gym day” is invaluable. Thanks for sharing.

I can’t tell you how important my Sunday off from work, exercise and doing anything serious is. Sure, when I try to sleep end I sometimes wake up at my usual 7-8am, but at least I let my body decide. I also take Monday off from exercise at the gym, but I usually end up restless enough to do some abs and push-ups. Come Tuesday, though…after a nice rest, I’m ready and itching to kick butt again. The rest has been so important for me, not just physically, but mentally. Knowing I’ll have my reward days makes those Friday mornings at the gym a tad easier. It’s like pushing through that one last effort at the end of Spin knowing…oh yes, there’s recovering coming up, just one more minute, you can do it.

Chocolate chips in my oatmeal and ice cream. Can’t help it….. It’s only portion-controlled because it’s not very good. A can of Pringles? Now that I can polish off, no prob.

Keep up the great work! And in reading what you ate today..it doesn’t seem like you had a lot of sugar. I’ve never eaten 1/2 an orange, and part of a Boca burger, it’s always the whole thing! That where portion control would come in very handy.

We are on very, very similar paths at the very same time. Nice to know I’m not alone! I’m struggling with these last few pounds (couple of sizes, I should say) much more than I did with everything that has come off up to this point. Why does it have to be so hard to lose weight and so easy to gain weight? If there is a God, he got this way backwards! Oh and thanks for the mention of the warm, buttery cornbread — good thing I’m too tired to bake even if I had a mix in my pantry!
