Something weird is happening to me. I kind of like the way I look. I don't disgust myself when I look in the mirror. I feel almost pretty. I could almost imagine losing no more weight and living life not feeling repulsed by myself. I am still about 30 pounds over the very highest weight in my range, so it would be nice to lose 30 more. However, I've been at that weight before (170) and it was not maintainable for me. It was way too hard and I had to seriously deprive myself to get there and stay there. It will be interesting to see how it is this time.
I have basically three weeks of maintenance left, and then I go back on the plan at the end of January. I am considering signing up to run a 10k in late March, but that will mean doing some training while I'm on the 500 calorie part, which seems harder than the yoga and walking I did last time. The 10k would be a nice distance and would feel like a HUGE accomplishment to me (I've completed two 5k races and didn't even run the whole first one) but I really don't want to risk reinjuring my ankle. If I decide to do the 10k, I will need to start training next week, as in January 4th (the training program lasts 13 weeks and the race is April 2). I start by walking four minutes and running one and doing that seven times. So it starts out very easy. I think I'll just start the training and see how it goes. I need to add exercise back in to my day.
It's New Year's Day. I feel like I've been so fucking introspective and self-actualized the last 8-10 weeks that I don't have any energy left for New Year's resolutions, you know? Just keep on keeping on with my navel-gazing voodoo, I guess.
hey babe
ReplyDeleteit's good to see that you are sounding so good and back on track. i don't know what happened to the comment i put in the last post, but it seems to be gone now, but long story short, a 2 lb weight swing up or down i one day can only be water or similar temporary body inhabitant. there is no way you are going through 7000+ cals in or out in one day. so it looks to me like you are maintaining perfectly, and during the eatingest time of the year as well.
i think you should start the training. a) it will be good for your metabolism and b) you can enjoy how much nicer it is on your shins and feet at your new weight.
oh, and also, you ARE pretty. you were always the pretty one!
i hope this comment shows up.....
Hi Kat! Remember me? I have not blogged since we spoke last and you were first getting started on the your R1. I'm back at it and on R2D7. Way to go on finishing it and losing so much weight. I'm proud of you!
