DEX Con't.

Ugh, you guys, I've been so bad lately! I just get on these eating kicks, and can't stop eating or buying bad stuff to consume... or I see something on TV and I crave it so much, I have to eat it soon! I'm disappointed, but I have to remind myself that it's okay to fall off the wagon sometimes, and I can get back on my feet quickly. However, I was exercising a lot during my bad eating period, so I'm hoping it kind of equalled itself out.

Yesterday was a good day though! I had a huge Lite Caesar salad with [unfortunately soaked-in-sodium] shrimp for lunch, then Special K cereal with chopped up banana for dinner. I do notice when I eat badly, the next day, Dex doesn't work so well, and I have to snack like I used to before my Dex discovery. I also treated myself to a Tootsie Pop (my usual post-lunch treat) and two Twizzlers sticks. But only two!

I cannot wait for warmer weather! Then the bf and I can finally get out and bike on the weekends and be active. Don't get me wrong, I love chilling at home and watching great movies and TV shows, and reading Harry Potter all weekend, but I hate winter, and at least want the option to be outside. Don was fixing up his bike this past weekend, too - via the inspiration of warm weather we had last Saturday. I think mine is good to go... just needs air in the tires and to be dusted! Yes, I keep my bike inside... it stays cleaner this way, and I spent a lot of money on it, so I'd rather keep it in near-mint condition as long as possible. But now, in retrospect, I wish I had gotten a smaller and lighter bike... these things are so heavy and clunky! Oh well. I got a great deal on it via someone I knew who worked at Eric's Bike Shop.

In other news, BodyPump is going well. I haven't upped my weights in awhile, but I still see results and 'feel the burn', so I'm not worried about it. One of the instructors has these amazing thighs! I want someday... :)

Okay, so overall with the Dex, I have been eating a bit less than normal (even though I always ate small amounts anyway) and there's a lot less snacking, which is great; but in the long run, I feel like exercise is what is making me lose weight faster. So hopefully people aren't dependent on Dex; rather, take it as something to assist you with snacking and cravings, and not weight loss entirely. That's my experience with it, for my body type and weight, anyway. I'm curious to see others' results and how their bodies react, so keep those comments coming!
