285.8 and Fighting the Thanksgiving Eating Binge time to Run

Greetings everyone,
 I have been doing the NanoWRIMO this year. It keeps my writing time down. I want to let you all know I have not been easing off my workouts. I weighed in last week at 285.6 at my lowest. That is lower than I have been in over a year and a half. I am fitting into shirts that I have not worn in a long time. Man it feels nice, I am also 5 holes into my belt that I have been at 1 hole into for  a long time.


I don't think it's just the way I eat but it plays a big part of it. I do think Spinach is a super food it seems to really help me feel good and regulate my hunger and weight. I also find that I eat less on the days I have a grapefruit and when I have eggs for breakfast. I have read journals that say all of these things can make you want to eat less. I don't know if they will work for everyone  but they are helping me. Of course the main thing is will power. I have always been a good self motivator. Do I want to walk for an hour on the treadmill after work when I am tired and sore? No way, but I know it will make me feel good and it is good for me in the long run. 


 One thing that is for sure, exercise will help you feel good. It fights depression and lots of other things that happen in the winter. I also get a big boost out of group fitness classes and dodge ball in the winter. I say keep as busy as you can but make sure you get time to sleep and workout. 


This week for Thanksgiving I am going to try to find a 5K I can do. If I can't find one and someone to do it with I will do a 5K+ at my house on the treadmill before we go to the grandparents for dinner. This year I have a lot to be thankful for, my weight loss it a big one. I also am very thankful for my immediate and extended family, that I have a  warm house, food to eat, good health, and a people to share them with. I hope you have a super Thanksgiving and be thankful because Life is great and it is only limited by what we can dream.


Thanks for Reading,


Gabe
