As I was coasting along doing my thing, the weight business suddenly started to seem under control and all too easy npeasy. I should have guessed that I was about to commence my walk into the abyss that is over-confidence.
Sometimes this weightloss business seems to be like going into war. The weighty mind tries to send in its spies and weapons in the guise of all sorts such as over-confidence and just as one gets all too comfortable, you realise that you have in fact been very very silly. After all if this was an easy journey and if I had figured it all out then so would the rest of the world. We all would nto be spending time writing out histoires and blogs talking about strategies and challenges. Silly billy me.
I had been coasting along very well having gone back to the land of butter and full fat products instead of fat free land. I was also eating somewhat semi paleo lifestyle which just felt soo great on the gut.... and then it happened. I got too confident and instead of having hardly any bread, I went to buying raisin toast and slathering not one or two but three pieces of bread with butter or maybe even peanut butter. One day turned to two and then before I knew it, I was three weeks into this journey to nowhere. I was reclaiming the fatty territory I had already gone past and had become my worst enemy. Damn!
Anyhow, the error or my ways has been noticed and plans will need to be put into place to ensure I am not seduced by the mind and its soldiers again. I need to remember how good I used to feel. I am exercising my guts out to feel good and I am ending up soaking the sweat from the workout into a dollop of butter and putting it right back in. This needs to stop. And yes, no more icecreams, chocolates, biscuits...yuck..I dont even enjoy half that stuff anymore. I guess this week will have to see me quit sugar again. Starting this minute, no sugar and only one serve of banana and one of berries will be my only fructose until this time next week. And while on that, get back to sweet potato and the way it used to be! I know how this works and I need to do this well or I am going to keep going backward.
I think the penny dropped when I weighed myself today and saw that I had only lost a kilo after all this workout. I think I am lucky I did not gain anything more as I have been leading a sugary, buttery, bready life since the past 2-3 weeks that I can remember although I would nto be surprised if it was in fact 6 weeks. It is amazing how much of a short memory we can have when it comes to counting our misdemeanours.
To taking charge and all the hard work I am doing.....have a great week peoples.:)
