It's been too long since my last post, but I have been very busy! I move 3 weeks from today! I am trying to get things packed up and my last day of work is only 1 day before the move. I am getting excited but a little sad too. My boyfriend will not be moving with me. He has a good job and owns a house here in this small town and is content. We will be ending on good terms so I do hope that we can remain friends of some sort.
As far as my diet and exercise goes...I am still tweaking. I am staying stead at 135, but want to lose another 7 pounds before I go on vacation August 16th. That is 5 weeks away so it is definitely possible. I had read several more diet books since I proclaimed that I wouldn't be reading anymore. I guess I am addicted! I have been having a really hard time buying into the theory that you have to eat every 2-3 hours. I could do that, but I feel like I eat much and it takes much more preparation. My doubts with this way of eating started after I read The Warrior Diet. So Friday I read Eat Stop Eat, which advocates fasting 1-2 times a week for 24 hour periods.
After thinking yet again about how I have lost weight effectively in the past, I have decided to go back to fasting. When I lost 15 pounds I ate 1, maybe 2 meals a day. They were not healthy meals, so that will definitely change, but my system seemed to enjoy not being stuffed 24/7.
I have so far stuck with my 6 weeks Slim in Six plan. I decided that I just need to stick with something that is geared for weight loss for the time being. I will reevaluate my goals once I get down to 128. I may be adding kettlebell workouts 3 times a week.
Today I am doing a fast as well as Tuesday and Thursday. Brad Pilon, the author of Eat Stop Eat, does not advocate doing every other day fasting, but I thought I would try it for the week. I am going to Roswell on Friday and would like to be able to wear my new Lucky Jeans!
