Sunny Thursday Update

Let’s see… time to update!

Weight loss has stalled a bit but I’m PMS’ing.

I’m still sober. (Yay!!!!!!!!)

I finally bought a patio lounge chair and have been luxuriating in the sun for 10-20 minutes most mornings, in order to finally refill my vitamin D stores as well as get a light tan. I haven’t had a tan on my legs in years, so it’ll be nice to have one this summer since I plan to wear lighter stuff. Since I’ve slimmed down more and have toned up I feel more confident about my figure.

I’ve also been working out on my bike and doing resistance training on my arms as usual. One of these days I’ll add swimming into the mix and possibly walking. It’s already been extremely hot here – well into the 90’s and even into the 100’s with the heat index. It’s going to be a scorcher this summer. I partly dread it but also look forward to it. I always eat more lightly in really hot weather, and I firmly believe that the sunlight (contrary to popular belief) is good for us, so long as we don’t bake ourselves. Sweating also helps rid us of toxins. (Please don’t take my word for anything you read here, do the research yourself. After all, I’m no expert on much of anything). :)

I find myself sleeping a lot better these days although I still have bouts of anxiety from time to time.

I hope you all are having a great week! I’ll be back to update sometime soon.

There is only one thing people can do to get and stay thin – run. Three times a week at least 3 miles at a time. That’s it, plain and simple. For strength training, do Cross-Fit classes twice a week. You’ll have a sexy strong body in 3 months and look like a fitness model in 6.

aj: Running is great, but people are very different. I despise running – I never run! (And still manage to stay very thin.) Losing and keeping off weight really isn’t more complicated than balancing your calorie intake with the calories you burn. How to do that is completely up to the individual.

I’m so impressed by your sobriety, Rian! Keep up the wonderful work!

Thanks you guys! abby, I wish I could run but I have to be under 130 pounds to run or I hurt my knees. I’ll possibly start it back up when I get there, I love the endorphins. :)

Hey, I am so happy to hear that you are doing fine after the sinuses infection and those issues with the invisalign.
It’s super hot in Italy, too. I went out today to get some sun, but I only lasted 10 minutes because of the heat. I will have to keep my sickly pale look, it seems.
