Running. I'm still running! It's been off and on the last few years because of plantar fasciitis acting up again. This is me a few weeks ago on a half marathon relay.
This is me all dressed up and headed to Taylor Swift's last night in Tokyo (it was a surprise for my daughter's 10th birthday).
We moved to Japan in February 2017! It's been an interesting journey for myself and my family. We are adjusting, but miss home. The stress of the move and not running helped me pack on 30+ pounds. I've managed to lose 15 of those over the last year and a half, but it's been a very slow and stagnant process.
I'm starting my blog back up to help hold myself accountable as I work through getting back to me. My sister sent me some information on her program she's been following called "Weighless."
They suggested making a list of everything you have to gain by weighing less; think of ways your life will be more enjoyable at a lower weight. Here is what I've got:
- higher self esteem and feeling more confident
- feeling better and looking better in my clothes
- feeling less pain/aches in the morning
- healthier and stronger body
Part of the Weighless program is to weigh yourself every single day. I haven't quite wrapped my head around this one. I'm on my second morning of weighting myself. The scale says 176.4. You're supposed to write the number down and then forget about it. The purpose is to get an average so you can see that even with all the fluctuations the scale is consistently going down. Part of this idea makes sense to me. The less I see the scale and the less I think about it the less I care about making better decisions food wise.
So, here is to making better choices all around, cheers!
Angie
