Hello bandwagon! Can I play? - SP 365.35

So I've been watching those of you participating in 'Accountability Wednesday' and I've been inspired. At first I kept thinking 'What's the big deal? It's just a number.'

 

And then I got on the scale.

 

Ouch.

 

It's obviously been quite some time since I've been on a scale myself and while I still do believe that it's just a number and is really not a good indicator of health, I'm not happy with this number.

 

I actually eat pretty well. I'm hypoglycemic. I was diagnosed about 4 years ago and I've changed my diet quite a bit since then. There is no high fructose corn syrup in my house. All grains are whole ones. I could go on. To make a long story short, I've come to the realization in the last couple of weeks that what I eat isn't the problem, it's how much. Portion control? We don't haz it.

 

So that's what I'm working on. In addition to my usual checking of labels and reading ingredients on a regular basis I'm also paying more attention to serving sizes and trying to stick with them.

 

I'm also working on incorporating exercise into my life again too. I've finally found a yoga studio that works with my schedule and budget and I've been going once a week but hope to up it to twice sooner than later. Considering I have a desk job, that's an essential change in more ways than one.

 

Those two things should help, right?

 

P.S. It was really hard to upload this without obscuring that number. Does telling you I'm 5'11" make it better? I guess it just makes me feel better...

 

P.P.S. My chiropractor commented on my socks today. Yes I did make them that way. :)

Done
