Yesterday I went to a bbq with some friends of my partner.
I thought I haven'r eaten that much, and in a responsible way.
Well, I am just counting the calories and it was a disaster. I prepared myself a bit for that at lunchtime, by eating a salad, but still I had too many calories. I went on eating also when I was full, just for the sake of it. And also because I was not in a very happy mood. That's why I also had ice cream before heading to the bbq.
Wrong choices, lately, and mainly due to bad mood or feeling weak after antibiotics. Also before the MRI last month, I allowed myself more (junk) food. During and after the antibiotics, I reduced sports and also walking.
So, what's the effect of increasing food and reducing sports? Weight gain.
The first step is to recognize I fell off the wagon. Then, tracking calories, start again with sports and reduce food. It will take some time, I am aware of it and I am sure it's worth it.
I don't want to get rid of the extra pounds only to look better. That's just one minor reason. The main one is health. I feel better when I weight between 53 and 55 kilos. And also, I don't want to let myself grow fat without any control, as I did few years ago.
Also, being lean (not super skinny! just lean) allows preventing diabetes, reduces pain in my back, in my knees, allows me to perform better in sports and working.
Losing those extra pounds it's a win-win. It costs efforts and sacrifice, though. Well, I am ready for that, again.
I am also ready for the new job challenge. IT's going to start in a few weeks, it's going to be different than what I used to do, but why not? It will be fun, it will be tough, it will be creative, it will be a challenge! Can't wait for that!!! :)
Now, back to work. Next week I am going to Italy. Hopefully the weather will be good, so that I can stay as long as possible in the sun.
Concerning food, I hope it's going to be hot enough that I wont be tempted of eating too much. Anyway, I will put my efforts in limiting portions.
Have a good time buddies! Life is good!!! :)
