Stopped binge eating and compulsive eating!

I’m just back to update this a little bit, I’m still on track, even if I took some time off with my workouts while moving my wife’s apartment for about a week. I am now officially down to 195 pounds! Granted that’s without even so much as my pajamas on but I’m simply proud that I’ve hit a benchmark weight that I know is below my previous low weight of 197 from 17 years ago when I was racing motorcycles...  granted I’m sure my BMI was much lower back then as I was far more muscle than I am now, but the scale I got shows bone density, water content, and fat mass then calculates your BMI and my current BMI is 29.8  so I’m happy to say I am under the 30 BMI limit as of this week !

Hugs,

Jackie

 I have to laugh, one of the ways I keep myself in check is by simply not putting anything in the refrigerator or the cupboard that would lead me astray!  However it does vastly cut down on my grocery bill! HA!!!

 I went today to the dollar store since they have pickles and jalapeño peppers and minced garlic, plus other things that I like in my salad, so I splurged a little and spend 10 bucks. Not much of a grocery bill, but I’ve got plenty pickles if I feel snacky,  and I‘ve got plenty of things for my salads...  i’ve come to very much enjoy my salad, I look forward to it every day, I’ve been adding regular virgin olive oil since it has a higher Phenol content, and minced garlic, and some balsamic vinegar. When you add in the cherry tomatoes, pickles and green olives it makes for a rather good salad. Sometimes I add in protein  if I don’t have some in the morning for breakfast, and this may not sound appealing to everyone but I absolutely love sardines, and guess what? the dollar store has sardines too! So I’m always well stocked. All of that makes for great omega-3 content as well as anti-blood clot factor from the virgin olive oil, garlic, and tomatoes, I add to that my regular vitamin routine of vitamin A, vitamin E, and a super B complex with biotin to get my hair growing nicely.  I almost forgot about Kiwi fruit, I have two kiwi fruit for breakfast most mornings as it is also great for lowering blood clot risks as well as just being darn tasty!

I’ve been very good on my routine of one hour and 10 minutes of stationary bicycle every evening and often take one break per week or sometimes two breaks per week if I have group meetings or other appointments that would keep me from exercising at a reasonable time.

This has all become part of my daily routine, and that is absolutely key for me, it simply becomes easy when it is just a routine and I am completely invested in the process and looking forward to going below 190 pounds, then I will have a new goal of 180 and so on and so on, I find it’s easy once I’m invested in the goal and have the routine, but I think that’s probably true for most of us.

 Hugs, 

Jackie
