Transition and Beyond

After the weight loss phase of my program you take some time to transition back into eating the way you plan to eat forever(or maintenance). I have been in transition for 6 weeks or so. I have continued to lose a little and have been very happy. I started by adding more vegetables, then the next week I added fruit(yum), then yogurt(yum), then extra meat and starch(yum) and all this time my body has been very happy. I was able to take a week long vacation with my family and still lose a little weight. That never would have happened before. I now love to snack on fruits and veggies. Again, a first for me!

On Saturday I had another first. I decided to train to do a half marathon with my husband! I have always hated running because I was always carrying too much weight. It wasn't comfortable to run. Today I ran 3.8 miles with my husband. It was great. My body felt great. I could feel it in my lungs and I know that I have a lot of training to do, but I think I can do this! Doing this sort of thing was one of my motivations for losing this weight in the first place. I wanted to live a more active life. And I am!!!
