Friend: "How did you lose 60 pounds?"
Me: "Ten years ago I started reading ingredients."
Friend: "What else? Low-carbs?"
Me: "Good heavens, NO WAAAAAY!!!!! I love them."
Friend: "Do you count calories?"
Me *laughing* "Ain't nobody got time for THAT!!!!!"
I stopped eating refined sugar.
I sweeten things with pure maple syrup, honey OR Sugar in the Raw.
I do not eat gluten.
I try to hit the gym 4 times a week doing a piddly 30-minute cardio session each time.
I force myself to get 8 hours of sleep.
I take my body weight divided in half and consume THAT amount of water per day.
I try to have a smallish amount of dark chocolate every day.
I changed what I buy at the store.
It's been an amazing journey.
I am not striving for a "perfect" body weight.
I strive for a healthy weight.
I strive to feel energized after I eat. (That's a sign of getting glutened = the mini coma. Don't believe me? One time I ate the wrong communion bread and slept soundly for hours, the girl who does NOT nap.)
Happy health, blog-stalkers!!!!
