I'm on a 12 day trip to see all sorts of family, and I've actually lost a pound! 32 down now! I really thought I would gain on this trip, but there's one element that it has that I am not keeping up at home: being really active.
Part of losing weight when you are over 300 pounds, (not anymore!) is moving. Really moving. I've been through North Carolina and Tennessee, which have one thing that Florida doesn't: hills, lots of them. So, I've been climbing hills and stairs. My legs and lower back are feeling it, but my stomach is smaller. I'll take that in a heartbeat!
So, when I go home, I need to do an incline on the treadmill, walk outside for fresh air, and really stay busy. I've got to get back to yoga, hobbies, getting the house together, and taking care of hubby while he's in his busy season. I am sleeping better than I have in a very long time, and I know it is due to all the activity. Got to stay busy.
After all, isn't that what life is all about?
Good for you and keep the motivation flowing. It can be an exciting time and like you said, you already have derived two benefits, losing more and sleeping better. :-)
