I have no idea where February went, nor any idea how it can be a month since I've last posted to the blog.
It's been a rough month overall. The future of my job is uncertain--it's a grant-funded position and is set to expire on June 30--and as my mood has gone down, guess what has gone up. That's right, my weight.
I am mindlessly eating, just grabbing something to eat and snacking...and snacking...and snacking. At this point, I'm up about 15 total pounds from my set-point in November (still 30 pounds below where I started in September). I've noticed the weight creeping up, but have been able to hold stable now for about 2 weeks.
I'm frustrated with the weight gain and have definitely noticed that, in addition to my mood being down, I don't feel nearly as good physically as I did 2-3 months ago. I'm back on a Phase I menu (whole foods, organic if I can find them) with lots of veggies and fruit and water.
What has this proven to me? The Somae Plan helps, as long as you are truly willing to adopt it as a lifestyle and have the motivation to stick to it. I had thought (subconsciously, of course) that I would be able to slip back into some of my old habits without ramifications. My body craves salads, yet I've been grabbing a quick burger instead.
2 months until I run in the Flying Pig 5K, and I will be back down below my weight from Thanksgiving.
