Well this has been an interesting week. I wish that the "1 down" in my title was related to pounds on the scale but no, I am referring to 1 week closer to January 1st, 2014. Our scale has been acting wonky so we bought a new one last night. According to that scale I am the same as I was a week ago. Different scale can weigh a little bit differently but I am going to take it at it's word. That's OK, one of my goals this month is to not dictate my success by the number on the scale. I am still 1/4 of the way to my goal and that will have to be good enough for now.
This week has been one of the most stressful that I can remember. Work is nuts, I am taking a few days off next week so trying to get everything set for that. I am drinking coffee like it is no one's business so I know my adrenals are shot. Jon and I need this little break away (with Aidan of course). On the health front, besides the stress, I am feeling pretty good. My clothes definitely feel looser and my digestive system is healing itself. I have been going to my Naturopath and that was our first goal, heal your digestive tract. Part of that process was colonics and I had my second one last night. I am going to post about them on the weekend because I know people will be curious. The main thing that I released was Candida yeast.....LOTS of it. Almost in an instant I have been able to get my carb cravings under control. As someone who has dealt with Candida for as long as I can remember, this was always one of my biggest issues. That NEED for sugar or starch (that is what the little yeasties feed on and they are pushy bastards). After the first colonic, that basically went away. Even if my body is being really resistant to dropping the pounds on the scale, I know that dealing with the candida is a huge step towards dealing with the weight once and for all. More on my colonics in the next few days.
Jon, the baby and I are going to the states for a couple of days to do some shopping. I have been putting it off because of the weight loss but I can't put it off anymore. My body is taking some time to catch up and I want to feel good in this body of mine regardless. Nice fitting clothes are part of that. Little Aidan is growing like a weed so he needs some new things as well. Jon is back on track with weight watchers. I have had moments of regret for quitting but I feel like it was the right decision. Weight Watchers for me is a path to weight loss, I need to be on a path to wellness. I am on that path but man is it rocky!
