I'm 8lbs down this month. Still chugging along!

I have been on track this week! I haven't been eating all of my points. Some nights I have like 10-13 left (I only have 32). I know that's bad. I am taking topamax for migraines and it has totally suppressed my appetite. I am trying to eat more of my points so it doesnt bite me in the ass later.

I didn't gain any weight on my cruise, yay!

Working on getting more active and running more! It's so dang hot here!!

Here's to health!

:-)

Long day - i'm exhausted.
Between the long work hours, the running around and errands preparing for my trip to Mtn, & of course the insane temperatures today, it was such a hot one.

i wanted to come in quick and update (since i havent yet) on my Weigh in on Thursday. How excited was i to find out i lost another 6 lbs. i now weigh in at 201 lbs (started at 315 lbs) and have lost a total of 114 lbs forever.

This week i need to do measurements..
Also, i have ran my 2nd 5k practice run, and it was wonderful.. Really pushing myself, and SO enjoying the running.. It's really something i look forward to. i also started hills, that same night after running 5k.. i ran 2 hills in a row, pretty proud of myself.. In September i will be starting Martial Arts, quite excited about that..

i have SO much i want to share re: my eating, exercise, weight loss, etc.
But soooo need to get at my stuff & get my butt to bed, Daddy's orders.
i'll be back to catch up with you all & update some more!

Good morning healthies! ♥

Today is a long day of airports, and travelling!
Took JoSchmooze's advice and set myself up with safe snacks for the day, now that i know i can bring them through security! heh.. (thank you Jo!)

Today is Saint John to Toronto to LAX to Oregon.

i know Toronto and LAX airports very well, so i have everything planned.
i'll be good for water, snacks and a great healthy lunch and dinner tonight ..

Then once i arrive in Oregon, Daddy has informed me i'll be entering Daddy Bootcamp. So being there with Him is a very safe place for me (in all ways!)...

SOOOOO excited, just finished breakfast.
Yogurt, some fruit and some granola.. SOOO not nervous about food choices at all today.. AND i will get lots of walking in, especially at LAX!! Once i arrive i plan to walk to some familiar places to pass the time and get some exercise..

Woohoo!
Have a fantabulous day all!

Default I know I feel completely different when I adhere to these simple principles

Hello and Good Day to all the Healthies here! Or Good Night depending where you might be...

As I formulate a decent thesis statement I am going thru some of the basics of what goes into figuring out the mysteries of our bodies, our cravings, our legacies...

Leptin Reset Easy Start Guide
How to start the Leptin Reset and regain Leptin Sensitivity


Step One: Are You Leptin Resistant?

The Leptin Rx…FAQs

Overweight, large appetite and craving carbs are signs you’re Leptin Resistant.
If you are fit and in decent shape, then your reverse T3 will be elevated, also indicating you’re Leptin Resistant

Step Two: Follow a strict Paleolithic diet
For best results follow the diets outlined in The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet by Robb Wolf
or The Primal Blueprint by Mark Sisson

Step Three: Eat within 30 minutes of rising
Make sure breakfast is little to no carbs (less that 50 grams)
LOTS of protein (50-75 grams)
Overweight: limit carbs to 25 grams
Fit: less than 30 carbs
DO NOT count calories

Step Four: How to eat/use your fuel (most important)
NO SNACKING! Snacking destroys timing and circadian clocks that work in unison with Leptin
Most will notice a change in cravings within 4-6 weeks
Eat 3 meals a day initially (as your hunger and cravings fade you can adapt to 2 a day)

Other DOs and DON’Ts

Do not work out before or after breakfast (if you must work out do it after 5pm) which is when I always had my advanced ballet classes, back to back... and guess what, my body loved that timing!

Do allow 4-5 hours between dinner and bedtime

Trouble sleeping? Do 3-5 minutes of body weight exercises (i.e. pushups or squats)

Signs it’s working:

Change in your sweating pattern

Energy levels will rise

Hunger and cravings will become less and eventually disappear

When you awaken you will feel refreshed and well rested


Men: quicker weight loss

Women: Mood changes (calmer/sleepy), then sleep will improve. Clothes will fit differently and weight loss will occur if you continue the program



*Note: When all signs are present, I recommend exercise with heavy weights


Food Sources:

For breakfast: Pastured/organic eggs; grass fed meat, poultry and fish; protein shakes (less ideal)

Cooking oils when using carbs: (liberal amounts) butter, heavy cream, coconut oil, or palm oil.

Avoid nut or seed oils in initial stages.

Default Living an Optimized Life...

http://jackkruse.com/easy-start-guide/

I have spoken about this doctor a lot over the years. And in honour of the Ancestral Health Symposium that is going on up in Boston AND the research paper I am writing, I thought a reminder of some of what I have gleaned along this road less traveled might help those of us interested in what our bodies are designed to do, genetically speaking, evolutionarily speaking, to what we have adapted to over the centuries.

We simply were not designed to sit so many hours in front of some screen, electronics flashing lights and throwing off our circadian rhythms, sleep deprived, sugar and grain fed... couple of hundred years ago, only the King and those around him got to eat sugar and white flour the way we do today. It takes a really long time to genetically change. My premise in my research is coming to some scientific evidence of what I know works, what makes my body run better, clears my mind and gives me energy... a clean feeling.

One would think that vegan diet would do that, which I have honestly tried. The carb cravings were incessant and down right debilitating for me anyways. Now to experiment with more subjects than just me!

Anyway i am being weaned off of them now, down to 10mg a day from 50mg which is a HUGE difference...

So back on track i go.

prednisone is some evil ass medication, though it also has huge benefits

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, and your family, as those around you get to enjoy some of those wonderful side effects

My patients would have some of the many side effects, especially in the dead of the night. Alas I did not realize just how awful those side effects were until I had to be on some of those powerful meds. My doctor gave me valium to ensure that the side effects would not be quite as severe. They still were quite life altering. I loved my job dearly and those dang meds led to a cascade of behavioural changes. I take complete resposibility for what I did at that time. Thru adversity and pain we can and do learn so much we never would have otherwise. Still sucked, big time.

sad but true

definitely have to be cruel to be kind somedays, no?

and it is also true that kindness can be the cruelest thing of all, what I like to call modley coddling sort of drivel that people with the bestest intentions ever. end up enabling and codifying the problem - only post pone the inevitable and making things much worse often times. Sort of like taking out a splinter, faster is better...

but I so digress ~

You will soon feel much much better and appreciate your body's wisdom. We are walking talking miracles, no doubt about it!

My heart goes out to you, hon. Take care, I know you always do. Eventually, I pray, we all do, no?

Glad you are back in the proverbial saddle! Back on track is a good thing.

I finally detoxed from the pack of stale graham crackers that I ate over a month ago!

I can't believe how long it took this time for the craving for sweets to go away. I knew I couldn't touch cookies/pies/cakes, etc. but I honestly thought Grammies would not be a trigger for me:

Wrong!

I walked by the sweets at Starbucks today and scoffed at them. A couple of weeks ago, my Pavlovian response would have been in full force.

In other news, I dropped 5 pounds in a week. Nothing like, oh never mind.

I shall keep going on my weight loss journey because I must. Looking for 10-15 more.

Hang in there fellow healthies

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

Bravo Anya! It's good to see you back on track.

I'm making progress, slow and steady....and I'm good with that.

I'm at the monthly high point of weight (when will that end?????) due to hormones and water weight...and still weighed in this morning at 196. That's my high number these days, so a big improvement over my struggle to break the 200 mark.

Hope you're all having a great weekend so far!

In Oregon, and most definitely have entered Daddy Bootcamp, heh.
Disciplined meals and portions, running each morning, and weights and core every other day... Lots of time for recovery work as well...

But also enjoying many walks, so much to explore, and so much wonderful time with Him and the pup.. i'm home, and that's the best feeling in the world.. <3
i've been spending my time with Him helping at the restaurant, it's full force busy and loving the ability to live each day with Him.. Love the environment, the people, i fit..Ya know?

So, it really helps so much in the spectrum of being good to myself and detoxing (as Anya put it) from the life back in NB, and building a much stronger and healthier version of me.. i'm developing a healthy relationship with food again, which is the most important part..

At the restaurant, the prep cook yesterday was making a very yummy treat which smelled delicious, and not once did i walk by there craving them or wanting them, which is a sign i'm getting back into a very healthy mindframe again..

Last weigh in was 114 lbs lost.
i won't weigh in again for awhile, and that's okay.. i'm not even obsessing it for a change which is a big thing for me, as you all know i obsess numbers, greatly.

Not today though..Something else to celebrate.
Just got home from my run, about to shower, eat breakfast and run down to help out at the restaurant for the day. *smiles*

Have a happy, happy day healthies!

I have been on track again all week! I had negative 10 points again last night, ugh, oh well. Going to a street fair today and looking forward to making healthy choices. Weighing in tomorrow. On my period so not going to freak if I don't have a loss, I am carrying a lot of bloat!

Hugs to all the healthies!

Smiles!!

My wife helped me have a very powerful mental/emotional breakthrough regarding my faith. Faith in humanity, spiritual faith, and faith in myself. I believe this may help me as I continue to make healthy choices.

I'm on an 8 week challenge with my trainer. So far it's been going amazing. Major weight loss over the last 2 weeks. Daily gym trips for cardio and weight training every other day. Healthy Clean meals 6 times a day and NO EXCUSES

WHOOOOTTTTT

Such a hard weekend for me.

I could sit and eat myself into a coma if I let myself.

I could numb out all my feelings but that would only make me feel worse when the numbness wore off.

I lost half a pound instead.

Default Where is everyone?!

Hi all!

Wondering how everyone is doing these days? Busy living RL I guess!

I lost 2 more pounds. 9 this month total.

My parents offered me ice cream and cake and I easily turned it down. I so clearly know that one bite is deadly and sets up the whole craving cycle.

Mentally, it is the one thing I can feel good about right now-control over my eating choices.

I hope everyone else is hanging in there! Let us know how you are doing!

I weighed myself the other day and I came in at 168lbs..After working all night. I am liking the Body by Vi shakes and my fave one is the strawberry cheesecake flavor. I made it with half of a container of strawberry Greek yogurt and five frozen strawberries and 8oz of plain SoyMilk. It filled me up and gave me so much energy, that I was still awake at 4am instead of taking a nap at 2am to help me through the night. I had the shake around 8p.

Here is the calorie breakdown:

Strawberries - 5: 30 Calories
Milk - 8oz: 110 Calories
Protein Shake Mix - 2 scoops: 90 Calories
Strawberry Greek Yogurt - 3oz: 70 Calories

Total Calories: 300

I like the shakes since I started my new shift at work this past week and I am not a fan of eating really late at night.

Weighed in and lost 1.9. Yay! It feels sooooo good to see the scale going down instead of going up again :-) I really need to get back into my exersice routine. I know when that happens, I will be losing 3-4 consistently. But, we keep hitting into the 100s and I can't run in that heat. I need to just drag my ass into the gym I pay every month for... Excuses, excuses. I will get there when I am ready. I am just glad I rocking it with my food choices and tracking.

:-)

Hi Healthies!

A quick update to say i'm still on track and doing so well here in Oregon.
Of course i entered Daddy bootcamp, heh, but portions and everything have been so well managed and i really feel like i'm healthier than i have ever been.

We went shopping the other day, and i bought pants a size 14 and pretty, pretty dresses, which i wear alllll the time now & love them & skinny jeans, which Mr Mtn loves on me and makes me feel so good about myself. i started at size 26 which was tight for me and i'm sure i was comfortably a size 28 when i started this journey. i posted a picture on facebook of my journey of pants, which made me so emotional. Mtn lined the pants up on the bed over top of one another so i could see the difference and what i've done.. It's so hard to swallow the hard work i've done and see the changes in me, inner and outer.. Why is that?

Went shopping with the girl's here and spent 2 hours in Victoria Secret, can i say i LOVE that place? It's the first time shopping that i am not shopping for plus sizes, and that also made me emotional. The girls really helped me celebrate how far i've come...It was a great day!

Exciting stuff!
This week, We'll be burning my 2 pairs of biggest pants, and sending them off into the Universe..
