Phew! Finally back on track! I did not even make the connection but It appears that the fact that I was in a kind of limbo/uncertainty in relation to my work was effecting me in ways I didn’t even realize. I had planned to find work elsewhere when an acting opportunity came up in a position with a completely different environment so I took it for the break it would give me. Was supposed to be for a few weeks which then became months. Instead of temporary the position became open and I didn’t know if I wanted it as I had been previously wanting to leave. I decided to apply for the job and got it. Did not see it as a big deal yet it clearly, in hindsight of course, was having an effect on me.
As soon as that resolved I immediately got my focus back in terms of my diet after months of floundering around even though I knew what to do as I had already lost 60lbs! I just couldn’t stay focused and in control. It was never a question of giving up. I just couldn’t stay on track. I could not control my carb cravings. Was driving me crazy but at least I didn’t gain weight back and was still progressing in terms of gaining strength, health, endurance, etc. Onwards and upwards and downwards!
So, even after doing the caliper measurements and girth and weight and posting it here it still took me another week to truly start. So basically all the changes below happened in the last week and yes, probably 5 or 6 of those pounds was water.
