It has also been a while since my last post. Early on, it felt like a lot was changing from one day to the next - which made it easy to hop online and post practically every day. Things have gotten more smooth and steady the deeper I've gone, and as a result, I've had less to report.
In fact, even though I have 33 days left (including today), I've been feeling more and more like I've already accomplished my goal. Don't me wrong - I'm still giving these last days my all, and the fat will continue to burn off. However, my larger goal of resetting my nutritional lifestyle has grown to feel comfortable and normal now. The beginning of this whole thing back in November feels like a long time ago.
Perhaps you've got a new year's resolution you're working on. If so, here's a thought that could be relevant or helpful. It's called a new year's resolution for a reason. It's probably a big change, and big changes take a long time to be implemented in a lasting way. For example, I could not have changed my nutritional habits much more than I did - meaning I have been dropping fat as fast as I possibly can without entering into unhealthy habits. Even still, it took about two full months to lose 10 pounds of fat. As the calendar rolls into the later days of January, and you are taking stock of progress toward your resolutions, remember that it's a year-long goal and you have a lot of time to keep moving forward. Celebrate small wins and let them motivate to keep on.
As I begin to catch glimpses of the light at the end of this 100 Day tunnel, I'm growing curious about what (if anything) is "supposed" to change when all is said and done. I've been on a roughly 2150 calorie/day pace during this period. In order to maintain a weight level, rather than keep losing, will I need to increase that number?
My next weigh-in day is Wednesday (Day 71), so I'll share some more info then!
