CathyJo77 's Journal, 28 Apr 10

It feels good to feel good again! I'd say I'm about 90% back to normal. This morning was the last boot camp cycling class which makes me a little sad but its time to switch to more outdoor cycling.

The FS site and the cycling class have been life savers for me this year. I feel that between switching to healthier foods, tracking my food intake, and the super charged workouts that I have gotten my metabolsim back on track following my post menopausal weight gain.

I still enjoy treats but the most important lesson I have learned is moderation and to get away from black and white thinking. Before I was either on a diet or off a diet - and when I was off I was eating everyting in site like it was the LAST time I would get to eat a particular food because it was not on my program! Now I'm learning that I truly can eat "whatever" about 20% of the time, as long as I'm eating healthy the other 80%. For example, yesterday we must have walked miles rummaging! I did not feel the least bit guilty about the corn dog or small chocolate malt I had for lunch. I'm not going to eat healthy all the time - that would be no fun! More junk food for supper would have been overkill; but the spinach salad and turkey reuben were perfect.

I have no desire to go lower than 142 - I want to stay between 142-144. I don't think it will be an impossible weight for me to maintain.

Next weeke we have our first time trial and other group rides - can't wait!

I'm glad to hear you feeling upbeat and appreciate the statements regarding black and white thinking (don't remember having heard it expressed quite that way). It's so true and in so many other areas besides just dieting. Have a good day buddy!
