I am trying to combine my blogs so I will bring everyone up to date on where I am and what the hell this stuff means.
Had a terrific 10 months of loss and maintenance and then appear to have thrown that out the window.
As you will be aware ( see blog title) my brain has a bipolar dysfunction and I refuse to use meds.
It has been a challenge but hey life is all about challenges and I have this one down.
Winter months are hardest so Jan and Feb can be brutal. I was not spending time in the gym as I was undergoing physio on my ankle and I had fallen on Dec 26 and badly sprained my wrist. Yes a very attractive look!
Needless to say I allowed this to stop me from doing any sort of a gym routine and yes the food crashed around it. It was all bullshit on my part and I simply needed to change my thinking but that was then and we are on today.
So -41. As a group (Rachel, Dana and I ) started a workout 50/50.
the first 50 was a countdown till Dana leaves Russia for the US with a week break in there and then 50 days till the 3 of us hit New York for Rachel's Birthday.
Got all that!!!
And the ugly truth : up 8lbs from my lowest weight...ugggggg
I have been back doing a varied workout of late and a food program.
Jace Rachel and I did a version of CLEAN and Jace has gone 100% natural. Rach is doing her own version but is doing a fair amount of juicing.
I have been floating around it and have now gone 100% RAW.
Jace dropped 20lbs in just over 4 weeks and he was already low on weight. I am very curious to see what happens to me.
I am not going to use the scale but measurements and picts. I do not care what I weigh just the size I am.
So day 2 of Raw and unprocessed. I feel great. Not that I thought I felt bad before but I think I do have more energy.
Speaking of which I need to hit the gym
I will another page with my plan later.
Make the most of your day, and simply get it done.

Sounds like you are sorting it out. I know it sucks to put weight back on, but you're catching it in time to take it off again pretty quick. Once you get back in a routine and settle into eating raw, you'll be better than ever in no time. I tried to go raw during the fall, but I was too hungry all the time and ended up eating too much. The food is delicious, though. I still eat a large portion of my daily food as raw. It's definitely a great way to enjoy clean food.
ReplyDeleteEating Raw takes a lot of discipline - good for you! I remember way back in the 80's doing 6 weeks of just fruit on the Beverley Hills Diet.....by the end of the first week I felt like chewing my foot off!!
ReplyDeleteBTW - What is bipolar dysfunction?? I'll look it up, but am interested to know what it means to you from a day to day living perspective.
