For 2 weeks I've been battling the green heebee geebees. I HATE spring. I grew up in a country with 2 season: wet season and dry season. I was introduced to spring in my mid-twenties. It is absolutely HORRIBLE.
I thought I escaped it this year, but 2 weeks ago my eyes were sealed shut from itching and watering. This week, the allergy effects have turned into a head cold. I only did 210 minutes this week. It was a huge struggle. I was at home 3 days. It's just too much.
In good news, I'm down 1.2 lbs. I didn't log my food at all last week and like I said above, only 210 minutes. Go figure! I did do something very different. I listened to my body and what I wanted to eat. At times I considered doing the draconian no whites again, but I generally ate well. I ate healthy, wholesome food. Lots of fruit and veggies. Rice and pasta in moderation. Lean meat. And a few not so sweet treats (custard, sugar-free cookies). Much less struggle, angst, and frustration, I was using that on the green stuff.
I've decided to scale back to 2 strength training workouts and I MUST stretch. My arms hurt for the entire week from that session on Monday.
I’ve learned the art of bookbinding!

YAY! Congrats on the 1.2 pounds. I'm so glad you are learning to listen to your body and doing what you think it needs!
ReplyDeleteKeep working girl :) You're doing GREAT!!
I know, the pollen is awful. I get sore/inflamed muscles from it, so working out in the spring is terrible. Have you tried Claritin, or a generic version? I find it cuts down the worst of the symptoms without side effects.
ReplyDeletewow, your site is wonderful!

That's awesome about the 1.2lbs. I think you're eating the way maintenance should work!
ReplyDeleteOh, allergies stink! Hope you feel better soon. You are doing a GREAT job!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on listening to what your body wants to eat!! and the 1.2 lb loss too!!
ReplyDeleteYeah agree with stretching -- it's so important after workouts for "tissue repair" and alleviating muscle pain! I stretch a lot since I started working out too.
Congrats on the weight loss
ReplyDeleteSorry about the allergies :(
