Hmmm...sometimes one of the hardest things to do is listen to your body. Many of us overeat or binge eat in the words of Ms. Debra Mazda. Exercising is doing a great deal for my spirit, my body, and my mind. I'm eating less because I'm learning to listen to my body. In exercising, I have increased my metabolism which is helping me to eat less food and get full quicker. Instead of eating until I'm full or eating everything on my plate just because I paid for it, I've learned to eat until I'm satisfied. That's an accomplishment that's hard for some people to reach. I tell myself 'that's enough...you've had enough'...and I'm good. I learned from Debra to put half of my food in a 'to go' container before I start eating...never knew how effective doing that was until I started doing it. I only eat whats on my plate and I'm satisfied and don't feel bloated and overstuffed.
The greatest reward of all is, even when I don't exercise I still manage to lose weight or maintain my weight...that's so awesome. My body is burning calories even when I'm unable to work out.
I've never been so proud of myself. I will continue to say that.
My goals are in full swing. 2011...lets get it!
Keeping it moving!
