Well, the wave is collapsing on top of me. I am exhausted and really dragging. I'm not sleeping well again. I am feeling hungry all the time again. Kat hasn't been feeling well the last couple of weeks, so we have been eating out more than usual. She is doing better, so we are working on getting back into our groove of home cooked meals.
Now with this, I am amazed that my weight is not shifting upward; instead I am staying stable around 248 lbs
Yet, when I started this blog, I was around 254 lbs, and at the beginning of the year I was 265 lbs, so I am making progress. As I have said in previous posts, I am also feeling stronger. I am getting through the exacerbation of my chronic conditions in much better shape than in years before.
The weather has changed here in the Pacific NW as well. The rain and wind have settled in, the temperatures are cooling off, and the sky is grey. Days are getting shorter, and the need to coil up w/ a fire, hot cocoa, and a book/crocheting/good movie has set in.
I really was fighting with getting out and exercising. It was hard to talk myself into going out for my walk. I posted a help on the KP Walk wall and got lots of support, so I went out. I walked the parking garage, like I do when it is raining. I was amazed at how much stronger I've become since mid-summer. I completed my route in a shorter period of time and was not as short of breath. It was amazing to feel my body step into rhythm on its own, then settle into a pace that was comfortable w/o causing distress.
I was able to get out and walk. I am controlling my intake, and I am continuing to sing my theme song...I am woman!
Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. ~Soren Kierkegaard
