I know it's been a while since I've posted; I've been mulling a few things over and think it's time to strike out in a new direction...and here it is:
I feel great!! How did that happen, you ask? Well, like I mentioned in my last post, the very week I tossed the whole extreme diet idea out the window and decided to just approach self-improvement from the inside out (so to speak), I lost 3.5lbs. All I did was try to eat wisely (and regularly) and continue chipping away at this crazy-ass figure competition 5-day split designed by Scott Abel. I should also mention that that whole week was Sarah's nasty flu relapse-thing and I don't think I slept more than about an hour and a half at a stretch EVER. I should have gained 10lbs that week, but I didn't....because stress = cortisol = water retention, bloat, and fat storage, and since I made the conscious decision to just accept without judgement and quit freakin' worrying and obsessing about it, I was free! I think, anyway.
So I haven't gotten on the scale in a week and a half. I think I'm doing pretty well; my body is changing and I feel stronger and more energetic than I have in ages. I also don't feel compelled to snack as much and (here's the craziest thing) I DON'T NEED COFFEE AS SOON AS I WAKE UP! AND this is the first week that I will get my whole 5-day split in. Sssssomebody ssssstop me!
I know at some point I will have to get on the scale again, just to see how I'm doing, but right now I'm a bit afraid - I am enjoying this little happy-bubble that I've created too much to pop it just yet. Will keep you all posted - cheers!
