Oh, hi. Remember me?
I'm not a patient person.
(I just got distracted. Remember that song that starts out with the guy singing, "I'm not a perfect person... There's many things I wish I didn't do..." How simpering does he sound? He sounds so whiny and corny, right? I love that song. I actually do. I wouldn't turn it off if it came on the radio because it's fun to sing, and it's all "AND THE REASON IS YOOOOU," and I believe in blaming or praising other people instead of taking credit or accountability, myself.)
I'm kidding. And kind of not.
I'm a mess right now, because I'm sick and stressed out, and I've been trying this gluten-avoidance, low-sugar, low calorie, natural diet for almost three weeks now, and I've lost a grand total of four pounds, that's it.
FOUR pounds.
I'm swimming or working out every day, despite the fact that my feet hurt so bad some days I can barely walk. (That's not an exaggeration. My surgery in December helped a -little- but nowhere near what we had hoped.) I had a major upset with my boyfriend, finding out some things back in April that were really difficult to deal with, and the timing on that was just stupendous since I had just moved to his parents' town. (Those of you who have known me for a long time know that this is like a delicious call-back to something horrifying that happened to me a decade ago.) Money is tight, and I realize you could always say that, but this is a difficult time at work since summer is usually a slow period for my commission-only position.
Lots of people have it worse. My point, however, is that I've been super stressed out and busy like a dog chasing its tail, but I've still basically actually been following my plans with regard to my diet. I think I've eaten gluten willingly/knowingly only one time in the past three weeks, and that was when friends were here visiting from out of state. I had some cake. It was so very good.
Four pounds.
I should call it a win. But it's hard, when you want to lose fifty.
For those wondering, I eat between 1300 and 1600 calories a day, very few carbs (most of my carbs are vegetable, occasionally potato, and I think once it was rice). My Achilles heel is sugar. I do still have at least one can of soda every other day. That shouldn't be slowing me down this much, though. My hope is that I'm just putting on heavier muscle than I realize. I do gain and lose muscle really fast.
Okay, nobody wants to hear whining.
I'm not a perfect perrrrssssooonnnn... There's many things I wish I didn't eat...
but I figured it was time to update my blog... AND THE REASON IS YOOOOOU. AND THE REASON ISSSS YYYOOOOOOOOUUUUUU.
bye.
