Wow it has been 9 days since I checked in, time certainly flies, even if you are not having fun. The move is complete, although there are still many boxes and things to go through and find a new home. It is amazing how much stuff a person accumulates over time. Purging through a lot of personal belongings certainly has given me a new perspective on not just material items but on my personal accomplishments and lack of as well.
Physically, the move has been a challenge. It amazed me how much I could and couldn’t do through out the move. I did manage to make some pretty good choices during the 2 weeks of the move and we only ate out twice. The night all the big stuff was moved we did buy pizza for everyone, but I limited myself to 2 slices. After working hard all day that seemed to be enough with the other good food I had eaten through out the day. Then one day as we were moving all the little stuff and I had to work, we all decided Taco Bell would make a better dinner. Oh what a mistake that was, my old habit of ordering a grilled stuff burrito and a bean and cheese burrito add sour cream set in. After eating all that stuff cause I am not sure it really is food, I was sick for about 18 hours.
It is amazing how quickly one’s body can figure out what it wants and does not want. Water is becoming more and more my beverage of choice. Not to say the diet coke is gone from my diet, but it is more of a treat than a staple of life now.
During the move my scale went kaapootz and so I have no idea what my weight is, but I can tell you in the last 3 weeks there has been a significant loss in inches. Today, the dress slacks that at Christmas were too tight are falling off of me. I really want to go buy a scale – but think if I just hang on a little bit more I will be pleased with the results.
I have not managed to keep up with the Primal Stride over the last 2 weeks with the move, but do plan to revisit and put myself back into the challenge mode.
