cyclical living

(I liked the last blog title, as it is now part of my job at work to create monthly fun events - i think i'm totally going to steal laugh out loud thursday!)
:)

So this moodybooty has been attempting some more aggressive fitness routines in hopes of some more dramatic (heck lets just say some more actual) weight loss. And its working! A year of working out has been no match for a month of working out while eating properly. Go figure.

While on this journey i have noticed one very important thing - life is cyclical. And a happy life (i think) is one that acknowledges and embraces this fact. I am perfectly okay with knowing that i'm losing weight now and that in a month or two i probably won't be. And then to continue that thought on to knowing that after the dry spell i can probably start losing weight again. Without this mentality i'm not sure i could have continued my commitment to health. Sometimes health seems fickle - you're doing everything right and the pounds still don't come off. Or you don't do everything right and things are still okay. The body is a strange animal. Or, i readily admit, i just don't understand it! ;)

So right now i'm able to successfully eat small portions, stop eating by 8pm, and work out at least 5 times a week - and the pounds are coming off... if only life were always this good.
