I'm kind of shocked by this because it came so unexpectedly. Since January 1st of this year, I've lost over 25 pounds! I started off the year eating healthy and exercising. I didn't continue to eat the best way all the time, but I kept exercising and that alone helped me shed about 10 pounds.
About two months ago, I cut out all carbs and sugar. I've been eating lean proteins and tons of fruit and veggies along the way. I have continued to exercise (with a short break at the beginning of my carb hiatus) and I've dropped another 15 pounds. I feel great right now and I am so proud of myself! Even though I didn't get to run that half marathon earlier this year, I still managed to drop a significant amount of weight and have recently made a wonderful lifestyle change.
I have started integrating only healthy carbs back into my diet. I am trying to stay away from all of the excess sugar, flour, and basically junk that does nothing but slow me down and weigh me down. I haven't felt this great in a long time.
I feel that I've broken some of my bad eating habits, like eating late at night, mindless snacking and just over eating in general. My new rule is nothing to eat after dinner. It hasn't been easy because mouth watering food seems to be around every corner I turn, but I hope that everything I've learned can stick, especially through the holidays. Of course, now that the bulk of my weight loss is behind me, I am going to start allowing myself one day per weekend to just eat however and whatever I want. After all, part of living a full life is enjoying food!
I would still like to lose about 5 more pounds so that I feel like I'm comfortably in a good weight range that allows me a little bit of wiggle room.
My only complaint is that my wardrobe is quite loose. I had to invest in a good belt to hold me over until I am ready to start collecting clothes that fit me. It's definitely a good problem to have.
