Really~ this is a ramble that runs all over the place~ My thoughts sometimes make better sense to me as I type them out. This is what I'm doing. Don't feel as though you need to even read it. ahahah
So, I've been doing the Leptin Reset for 8 days now. Pushing huge breakfast, some days eating lunch, others not. Yesterday I felt like I almost died when I got my migraine and honestly feel pretty crappy today. I'm struggling to recover from my own body!!
I'm fighting with the lack of fitness. My workouts are done best in the morning, AFTER I eat breakfast. I prefer a much LIGHTER breakfast and a moderate sized lunch. Dinner doesn't have to be big at all. I'm questioning my reasoning behind doing the reset now. I know that I have to give it more than a week to even see if there is a change, but I'm not feeling it. I was feeling a low carb primal eating style. My veggies have been cut by 3/4 and I DON'T like that feeling. I've had acid reflux the last 3 days and haven't changed my way of eating.
I honestly believe that this reset is for people who haven't been eating paleo/primal for a while, and are needing that jump start to the body repair. Mine was already started, and I dont feel that this was the right step for me. I want to feel good, not lethargic and half dead. I want to have a well rounded diet including lots of veggies and a few fruits. I can cut back on my nut intake, I quit buying macadamias because I was eating them all the time.
I'm thinking... that since I seem to change everything every week anyway, why not do it again. Keep with eating when I feel hungry, not over stuff my body with protein first thing in the morning. I honestly believe that my body was well on its way to healing itself before I started messing with everything by changing things constantly. I'm going to eat how I feel to eat. Sauteed veggies and eggs in the morning. Salad or left over dinner for lunch and whatever I make for dinner. I'm going to work on no snacks, because I could graze all day and be pleased. Its a matter of feeding my hunger or boredom~ I have a handle on my hunger and boredom now.
I dont do chronic cardio, I love my HIIT workouts with rocofit.com and honestly feel WAY better and WAY more energized when I am eating properly and working out. I was getting results before, I was just ignoring them. Why not just be who I am and do what I need to do? I have ZERO thoughts of changing my way of eating back to anything near standard. Grain is gone gone gone. refined sugar is gone gone gone. My old way of thinking and eating is GONE GONE GONE! I cant obsess about every bite I eat. I cant feel sick constantly because of what I'm trying to get my body to do. I need to do what I need to do in order to feel good. I DON'T FEEL GOOD.
My face feels thinner when I touch it. My body feels smaller, I see myself differently. I refuse to give up and I will continue to eat super healthy good for me food. I FEEL DIFFERENT.
I really need to get hubby to take some fat pictures of me today. My mirror is too small to get any sort of decent pictures. I need to measure again in the morning and get some base line measurements. I will be adding my bust, under bust, thighs, and arms to my neck, waist and hips measurements. I'm going to move on with my life and not obsess constantly about what I am or am not eating. I dont eat tons of carbs. I keep em pretty low. BUT I NEED more veggies in my diet, and stuffing myself with so many proteins in the morning is cutting out breakfast plant food, lunch plant food and doesn't leave much in the way of space to eat plant food and not feel over stuffed when I want to eat my protein at dinner time.
Primal/Paleo is NOT a fad 'diet' to me. It is a way of life, a way of eating and a way to heath. I just need to let it keep moving and let it take me where I need to be. I need to just get on and enjoy the ride. Quit obsessing and be me. Let it work. It shouldn't be this hard.
