How many times have I started something, only to find that life got in the way? Too many times to count. I was gung-ho about this yoga program … and then the ice storm hit. Like most of the country, we suffered through a multi-day storm in early February. Over the course of a few days, we received more than two inches of ice.
Yoga seems like an activity for active, fit people, not something that a person trying to lose weight would do. Sure, it’s good for your mental well-being, but is it exercise? Am I going to burn calories? Is this just a waste of my time?
I was in a relationship with my now ex-husband for all of my 20s. During those 10 years, I lost and gained weight more times than I care to remember. There was really no pattern. Sometimes I gained weight when I was happy, sometimes I gained weight when I was clinically depressed. Sometimes I lost weight during those same moods. I went on the "divorce diet" and lost about 20 pounds, but later regained that weight and a lot more.
The traditional Valentine's Day gift seems to be a box of chocolates. They are everywhere you look! Shelves of pink and red candies are in the stores soon after Christmas. It's hard to avoid the temptation, isn't it?
Eighteen months ago, I had gastric-bypass surgery. I'm pretty much a veteran, you know. I made it through the early stages with flying colors. I slowly introduced new foods into my diet like a champ. I exercise regularly and have begun training for a half marathon. And … I recently gained 6 lbs because I wasn't paying attention to what I was eating.
