Weighed in this AM at 169.5!! yay. Something I'm doing is right. Did 2 classes of zumba today, all that cardio feels good, though I tend to feel better from running. Tomorrow I will be doing a lot of running again! There are things I"m worried about. Basically 3+ years ago, I lost 50 lbs. Doing it very much the way i'm doing it now. The thing is... I gained at least 20 lbs back, and it's because I let myself get off the strict diet and the exercise. I'm most definitely less stressed these days, so I dont' think i'll get out of the exercise. I do enjoy it a lot, but I am worried about the diet. Yes, I want to make better decision and eat healthier, but at the same time, I don't want to be as strict as I've had to be in order to loose weight, but not gain weight as soon as I let myself be less restrictive. Is this going to happen again?? Am I going to be able to splurge once in a while and not let it get out of hand? or do I constantly have to deny myself simple pleasures? Well, for now I'm trying to be as balanced as I can, but restrictive on the calories. We'll see how long I can last. Valentine's Day is not that far away... the worst holiday for those trying to loose weight.
