Anyone who knows me off Twitter/elsewhere knows I came back from 4 years as a nomad with my body destroyed, weighing around 350 pounds.
I’ve been holed up in a posh housesit for two weeks, not even going on walks, but I’ve done some Qi Gong & there are 4 levels of stairs here, which is a big switch from my 600sq foot apartment in the city (this is 5,000 sq feet).
So I just weighed in down another 2 pounds, & I’m within 10 pounds of having lost 100. (Im not dieting. I made lifestyle changes.)
The lifestyle changes that have worked are that I barely drink alcohol and rarely consume much sugar. I don’t buy processed foods and I seldom snack. I just cook real food — including making bread and pasta from scratch. I always go at least 12 hours between eating at night/morning.
I walk a bit more and do Qi Gong. It’s been 2.5 years of just lifestyle changes and the weight is still coming off slowly.
@Snarkysteff Right on!
I really wish I could kick sugar...
@rpardee it helps that sugar fucks my body up and the price is too high. That’s partly why I began changing — I was constantly in terrible shape from all the sugar and alcohol. Even not, too much white bread will mess me up. But hey, it keeps me in line. Hope you find a way to control that.
