Hi All:
I regained the weight I lost. My hormones are all fucked up do to what I ate over the Thanksgiving holiday, HRT and I have been struggling with my weight-loss, but I am feeling good mood wise, not having the menopausal arthritis as much (my knees are better than they were, but bad enough that I have a tough time getting up the stairs this week), I'm still trying to find balance and get back on track.
I am doing great after my recent hysterectomy, and now with the ovarian shutdown, am trying to manage the full on throws of menopause. Yes ladies, even if you keep your precious ovaries intact, you can still go straight to menopausal hell. I am finding my way through it okay. I feel young at heart more than ever. I am full of energy. I am still pinching myself daily because I was suffering so badly for so long, feeling this good now is a miracle for me. I am in need of getting my head straight on a daily basis and got off track. I love YouTube and following my friends there.
If you need motivation to get back on track, here is one of my favorite HONEST and hilarious YouTube Channels: He is sort of the Man's man of weight-loss success. I adore his sense of humor and knowledge, but mostly his honesty in what he has tried out on himself and what has and has not worked for him. He delivers his truth like a Real Truck Driver, because he is one! LOL! He also is an amazing photographer.
Here is his latest video:
He has great success with Fat Fasting to guarantee he gets into ketosis and then blows through his weight-loss plateaus with ease. He inspires me. I am finding it is all about convenience and routine for me. First, I don't like cooking during the weekdays, so finding the secrets to keto-take-out have been key for me, with my work life style. Second, emotions and stress are a huge factor in my eating.
This is why I love the ketogenic diet lifestyle. I don't ever feel deprived. But sugar is my drug of choice. Once I eat it, I spiral out of control and then feel like crap. I am experimenting with making some things that are sugar free to help me with this psychological, emotional part of my world.
The truth for me is, it starts right now. I am one of those people who can pick up a pint of ice cream and eat it while saying to myself, "I will start back on track tomorrow." and keep saying that week after week until I get fat, avoid the evil scale in the morning and keep my head buried in the pile of sugar deep enough, so I won't come to my senses and get off the ride that is making me sick. BEING IN THE NOW, is key to everything really.
Depression is being in the past, Anxiety is being in the future, Being Here Right Now is all that actually IS. Every decision we make in this moment determines our path.
Even a very small change right now makes a huge change long term. Think of a plane headed for a destination. If it changes just 1 or 2 degrees, it will end up completely somewhere else long term. Think of this when you get hungry or thirsty. I know where I want to go, yet people like Scott and myself are learning and experimenting on how to get there. This is what this blog is all about.
I can love and accept myself where I am right now, but I want to feel and look better. Being the best me I can be, increases my energy and attitude. Makes me think better and be a better expression of me. Every person has a light and a dark side. When we can except both parts fully within ourselves, you can come to the realization that you aren't really your body, or your ego - You are this electric light body walking around in a meat suit.
I discovered that I need to manage the meat suit better, and the biology of that process really messes with the emotions. This realization helps me often because I have been able to pop out of my body with full awareness, including senses. I'm still experimenting with this, but it gives me comfort to know that I am not stuck in my body or this 3rd dimensional matrix. I am not a "Faith" based person. FUCK THAT SHIT, I will boldly go and find out the truth all on my own first hand.
But the body is still my vessel and I like being in it. I love pleasure and feeling good, out of pain and love it when during a fast, MY BRAIN BECOMES SHARP AND CLEAR. This is where hormones, balance and knowing what works for your body and lifestyle are so important to the quality of your life experience. You want to enjoy all of the wonderful pleasures of life, but not fuck yourself up in the process. IT'S A SKILL TO FIND SUCH BALANCE.
Every body and person is unique and only you can figure out what works for you, based on how you feel and the results you get. This is why I dig Scott the Truck Driver so much. He is putting himself out there and we get to follow along. I am doing that here. We have ups and downs, and this holiday season can be tough for those trying to lose their fat asses.
I find that if I have food I like that is easy to grab, I stay on track. My birthday is next week, then Christmas, New Years...the food, and parties are endless! I will take it a day at a time. I will indulge on the weekends, and manage during the weekdays. I wish you success and very happy holidays along your weight-loss journey. ENJOY BEING FULL IN THE MOMENT. If you do decide to eat something off your plan, really savor it! Be fully in your body and allow all of your sensual pleasure to engulf you completely! LIVE & LOVE BEING ALIVE!
Love who you are with! Laugh, Love & Live Fully, you are getting closer to death every second. When you are at the end of your time here, will you look back at your life and say you enjoyed every moment you could of it fully? You can trust yourself. You can find the balance you are seeking. You can live in that balance and fully....
