And Sage...never worry about a witty quip on my thread!!!
Yeah, not sure...I should acknowledge that last summer before my surgery the weight was creeping back up and I had to really cut down (ate mostly salads while CJ was on all those "business trips" )...and increase my exercise just to maintain.
Then my surgery caused about 7 pounds to come off...started gaining and then BOOOM! Bomb#1. I probably maintained my weight in the low 120's all of last fall/winter because of the stress.
Plus a did quite a few evenings of 4+ hours of dancing while CJ was out.
So then March/April roll around, OW is OUT, the lies are over and perhaps I just started to relax more. I know that the workouts suffered some with CJ being here all the time (I just feel less like doing it for some reason), and with various aches and ills I had.
But there is this inkling of emotional eating similar to those past periods that is a bit disconcerting. Thing is, I never eat unless I am actually, physically hungry.
Even at night, it's not just habit, it's hunger pangs. It doesn't help that my sleep schedule has been roughly 3-4 a.m. to 11-12 in the morning.
I suppose my snacks at midnight (bowl of cereal last night) could be considered my third meal of the day, really.
It's more that I'm craving larger portions...and I suppose that last snack at 3 a.m. really should go.
Kind of irritating, and comforting at the same time to be 15-18 pounds heavier than a year ago, and yet have the same muscle tone, same flexibility, same cardio ability.
Sooo, although I weigh the same as I did 11 years ago when we got married, I am in much better shape!
