I have arrived at maintenance

After 3 months here I am again. Words have been scarce for me lately. Well, but I'll pop in whenever I can. From July on, I gave more focus in my weight loss process. Anyway, this month I reached my goal. I managed to eliminate 10kg!!!!!!! It was very slow, but the important thing is that the goal was reached. And during this journey I learned a lot. And I am still learning. When we do a dietary re-education (R.E. for the more intimate ones...rsrsrs) health starts to be the central pillar. Losing weight becomes a consequence.

You start to observe and evaluate each thing you put in your mouth, you start to read the whole label of the products, and many doubts appear. Technology is there to bombard us with information. The concern is to be able to absorb what is really good for your health. I usually prefer blogs and sites of nutritionists and/or physical educators, or of people who have lost weight without miracle diets and who always base their posts on the opinions of professionals in the area. Even so, conflicting information appears. I have already started to buy books on nutrition and, little by little, I am building up my opinion on the subject. And, of course, I'm becoming the "guinea pig" of my own culinary experiments...lol.

Dietary re-education is not a diet, it is a change of habits, a lifestyle. And I'm enjoying this new style. I want to make it clear that quitting bad habits doesn't happen overnight, we have to be vigilant all the time. This month, for example, because I got into the comfort zone of reaching my goal, I abused a lot of fats. It turns out that I am no longer the same and my conscience weighs much more heavily when we are aware of the temptations to which we surrender.

The advantage is that we know how to get back on track and it is up to us not to get off track again. I am right where I am and I am not going backwards. I will try to organize myself (another subject that I will talk about later) and show you how this eternal and pleasurable search for a healthy life has been and continues to be.

Resolutions flowing!

I am in full tilt with my new year's resolution!!!! The itch for RENEWAL is in my body and my mind. And the blog here is the first to ...
