#59 - HYC Update  

Posted by Tami in

For those who dunno what the hizzo I am talking about in my title, the Healthy You Challenge is an online blogroll-community of sorts, packed with people (mostly women) seeking to lose weight and/or live healthier lifestyles.

So, for those in the HYC who are coming to see how I'm doing... I'm ok. About 7 out of 10. Not terrible- eating has been decently under control, with a splurge here and there (weekends never go well. I have GOT to figure out how to fix that) but no crazy bingeing episodes. Exercise was weak last week (oh, for the love of homophones), though I didn't do a whole lot of sitting on the couch. I stayed busy, but with mundane tasks (searching for spare pedometer batteries, for example). Though Sunday I spent like 6 hours playing The Sims 2 and it felt like an hour. Oy. Freaking. Vey.

Overall, I'm hitting a bit of a rough patch where I just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other, dig deep about why I am doing this (just because it's to surrender to Jesus and put Him in as number 1 in my life doesn't make the obedience part any easier), and not give up. I'm still losing weight, though I am trying not to stress about this week's weigh-in. I just feel really bloated and heavy. Hopefully I'm not up... but if I am, I just have to keep forging ahead.

That's me. There's other stuff going on (work related, mostly) but I'm not ready to talk about that yet. I feel so- SO- ready to just throw up but my tum won't actually go for the gusto; it would rather just feel like I'm trying to process glass in my intestines. It's lovely.

The surrendering part is easier than staying surrendered. :) You're doing well (7 out of 10 is a WHOLE lot better than 0 out of 10.) You'll figure it out as you go along. Just breathe until you do. :)

sometimes thats all it takes..just digging your heels in and going at it even when it sucks. some days I absolutely hate that I have to plan my meals and would love to just say screw it all, but I keep going. glad that you are too, and it sounds like you did well thi week and know what you need to do to continue to succeed.

I understand the comment about the Sims all to well having done the same thing with it myself. Also I picked up GTA4 and should be out walking and working out but just want to play all day.
