So over the winter I battled with some major changes. I struggled with depression & anxiety, and gained some very unwanted weight. This was extremely tough, because over the previous 15 months I had lost over 60lbs and still had not reached my goal. I was really beating myself up about this and it was bringing me down in a major way. Has this ever happened to you?
Well, SPRING is here and I am already feeling more motivated and self-controlled about my eating. I have been logging what I eat on www.fitday.com, which I find super helpful!
I previously lost that weight following a diet called UltraLite. I did this with the direction and help of my chiropractor at the time at AlignLife (www.alignlife.com). Basically it is a ketosis diet, that requires you to weigh and measure all of you food and has specific allowed foods along with 4 packets per day of drink mix that helps you stave off cravings. This was a great plan for me and I learned so much about my body and using food for fuel and not for any other reason. At AlignLife they also weighed and measured me weekly so I was really kept accountable and encouraged. I wasn't able to work out with their personal trainer but I know those who did had great results.
For over a year I had been really dedicated to working out at my local Gold's Gym www.goldsgym.com. I loved the Body Pump & Body Flow classes and also just really built up my cardio endurance. LIFE happened and we were sharing one car for a while and then this and then that and I got out of the routine. NOT GOOD.
Well, I am getting back into it. Along with the logging my diet on fit day I have been back to the gym. Just 2x so far this week, but it's better that before. It is like I suddenly have my "eye on the prize" again.
Are you feeling more motivated now that Spring has sprung? Is anyone reading/following Made to Crave?
I will post an sample of what my daily diet/ exercise consists of and my stats soon. Please share your too!
God bless!
