So
yesterday’s weigh-in was exciting – I love hearing about weight loss,
especially coming off a 4lb gain. But the holidays are over, and I have
successfully transitioned back to
normal life again. I am really looking forward to the months ahead because
there are lots of good things on the horizon. As for the healthy evolution,
this month I’m focusing on
portion control, smoothie fasts and exercise/movement.
Starting today you will
see a new addition to the tracker – next to the daily average calories you will
see daily average
steps walked. This will be a motivator for sure. I endeavor to walk every
single day – to keep my body in motion more and more. I expect, as the pounds
fall off and my
body starts to feel stronger and better that I will start engaging in more
physical activity. I’m always mindful of my joints and how protective I must be
due to Rheumatoid Arthritis.
But there are lots of things I can do that will help strengthen joints like
swimming, yoga, tai chi, stretching, light calisthenics, walking, etc. The idea
is to strengthen and make flexible
my body while maintaining joint health. In the months and years ahead I look
forward to my diet slowly transitioning to a more plant based one as well as
limiting the amount of gluten,
soy and GMO’s that I ingest. As I trim down and get stronger my diet will also
trim down. This is a far more exciting year than 2014 and I’m so enjoying it.
But meanwhile…
