This thread has not been very busy lately!
It must be because everyone is so busy being healthy, right? Perhaps just dealing with real life!
I have lost 7-pounds. I am building up my endurance again. I really can't believe how deconditioned I got during my recovery from 2 major surgeries, plus other wonderful medical things!
I have been doing stairs again, 2-3 times a day, 4-5 floors and each flight has 24 steps. The first couple of times, I was so out of breath and my thighs were shaking (not in the having fun kind of way, if you catch my drift, ahem...) but it has gotten much easier.
I am sticking to 1200-1400 calories a day, which is what I have to do to lose.
Biggest thing: I have total control again and no cravings. When I go off the eating wagon, I forget that it is totally a mental thing, that control over eating.
When I have lost control in the past, I begin to feel like a failure and it spirals downward from there.
I just have to stay in this good headspace right now. I could so easily slip.
I hope everyone else is hanging in there
