Whole Life Wednesday — 3

This has been an inter­est­ing week.  I broke my ‘diet’ a cou­ple of times.  Once it resulted in a migraine, and I haven’t had one in a while.  I can’t sci­en­tif­i­cally say it was some­thing food related, but given the lack of them since I started this plan and the sud­den occur­rence that night after eat­ing quite a bit that wasn’t in my diet since I started, I am going to say that was the cause.  It was awful, but I learned my les­son.  It seems the first and sec­ond week were really easy to stay on top of things, but this past week has been kind of tor­tur­ous.  I have craved more things than I have the other two weeks.

I went to a Cross­Fit work­out to try it out, and while I think if I get moti­vated enough to com­mit to a work­out, this would be the way to go, I don’t think I’m quite there yet.  I was so sore for three-​​four days after­wards.  I think if I just keep walk­ing more and get back to rid­ing my bike I’ll be good to go.

Classes are in full swing, and so far I like my teach­ers.  I am def­i­nitely going to be busy this semes­ter, but I am look­ing for­ward to the chal­lenge.  The classes are hybrids which means I only have to go to class one day a week per class, but it also means there is more work to be done out­side of class.  I man­aged to get my desk­top pc work­ing to the point where it will run Pho­to­shop and hope­fully when life slows down it’ll also run the Sims 3 as I’d like to play that some as well someday.

In other news, the Book­Expo is accept­ing reg­is­tra­tions for the upcom­ing June event.  I signed up for that and expect to be able to get my spot at the Book Blog­ger Con shortly as well.  Blog­World is going to be there at the same time again this year, so it’s look­ing like another whirl­wind week in NYC.

And finally, I had a checkup with the doc­tor and since my last weigh in 5 weeks ago put me in at 249.  This week, I was down to 238.  11 lbs in 5 weeks!  This is by far the best result of my changes, and peo­ple are start­ing to notice.  I started to notice myself when pants I couldn’t wear any­more have now started fit­ting.  If noth­ing else is good moti­va­tion, this cer­tainly is it.  I plan to get my butt in gear and really work at this.
