One Third of the Way
Okay, I've hit the one third mark toward my weight goal. I've managed to drop 45 pounds this year, and with consistent work I can drop another 25 or so this year. I'm doing it with exercise and portion control, and my plan is to increase the exercise soon too. I'm using a health plan developed by a pagan group here on LJ called the Magically Delicious Health Plan, and it's a wellness plan along with being used for developing a healthy weight. The Anti-Chick and I set up a group a while ago on Yahoogroups, located at MDHC for the group name. We've got a full explanation of the plan, along with a sample plan (mine) and some tips. Be forewarned -- this is an accountability plan, so folks are expected to post weigh-in data weekly. I know some folks aren't comfortable with that, so I thought I'd mention it so those who don't want to won't get on a group and feel pressured to disclose their weight.
I feel a lot better with this weight gone, and letting go of excess body mass fits into several other goals of mine, so I feel like I'm finally starting to make some serious progress on some things that've been dogging me for a while now.
I've also been listening to the radio again, and I've found a new favorite song. For some reason I don't understand, the song Pumpin' Blood by Nonono is like a dose of encapsulated happiness for me right now -- I hear it on the radio and I feel joy flow through me. It's also helping me to let go of some of the low grade depression I developed about two and a half years ago. It's good to feel good again, and happiness isn't an unnatural state for our emotions.
