I’ve been absent.
I’ve been crazy busy.
I’ve been sick.
And I’ve been losing weight apparently!
I haven’t been as diligent with posting on here. Between work and school both kicking my butt, and my other blog that I write on, this one’s fallen by the wayside.
I was thrilled to see a couple days ago that I am now at 160 pounds and holding. Three pounds less than the last time I checked. One pound away from being in the 150’s again. Oh how I’d love to see that!
There are several things that I think have attributed to this weight loss. First, my period ended. That always adds some extra poundage. Second, I really think being on the go and crazy stressed with work and school has boosted my metabolism and possibly kept me from finding time to snack. But, I also think the stress has caused me to get sick, which sometimes also keeps the pounds off. I personally thing it’s just a sinus thing, but it’s also keeping from the gym today which I’m not happy about.
But all in all, I think the main thing that has been helping is I am finally really taking note of what I eat AND the calorie intake. I’ve been making a huge conscious effort to keep within 1500 calories per day, and working out 4-5 times a week.
It’s the good old fashioned, tried and true, slow but steady, somewhat difficult way. But, it works. Diet and exercise. Watching your calories and portions. Being active. It works and I need to keep it up!
