A choice, a decision, a commitment, a FAVOR I do myself.
Don't complicate it, friends! No regrets here.
Last March, I fell and broke my hip. I got a new hip and began eating 3 meals a day while in the hospital. I kept up the 3 meal a day habit in the weeks of rehab. This was a change from the Fast-5 lifestyle I had been living for a couple of years. Besides the change in meal patterns, I found myself eating more sweets and making silly food choices. The pounds began to add up.
On September 23rd, I had a knee replaced. While I ate meals in the hospital, I determined that when I got home, I would return to the Fast-5 lifestyle. This means eating within a 5 hour "window" and "fasting" the other 19 hours of the day.
I am thankful for the decision I made and for the results that I've already achieved. This morning, I wrote the words at the beginning of this post on the Fast-5 facebook page.
Soon I expect to ADD more walking to my knee rehab exercises and will continue to SUBTRACT pounds until I am a healthy weight again. (It should take about another month.)
Coming Up: Lessons Learned
Hi Rebecca! My sister and daughters started a cooking blog (I actually don't like to cook, I'd so much rather bake - so your post here made me smile! :) I have to check out your fast - five pages... I can't believe how fast - five pounds can add up LOL ! ! !
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for "stopping by!"
Many blessings to you and wishes for fast healing for your knee!

Thanks, Maria!
DeleteI started fast five last week and so far am having no problems with it. I think just thinking about the time frame is easier than calorie counting.
ReplyDeleteI SO agree, Dee (about calorie counting, etc.)
