Everything you say is true. BMI and the sc...Tricia,<br />Everything you say is true. BMI and the scale are blatant liars, you should go by look, fit, feel and performance, and, yes, it is silly to feel bad for being sick. So, gently, softly, gradually...<br /><br />snap out of it<br /><br />It does suck, no question. You hate feeling bad, I hate it for you, especially as I'm at least as impatient as you are and I can do precious little about it. Couple impatience with a low grade control issue and you being in a physical slump makes me crazy.<br /><br />But, and it's a big but, you've already started to recover. This may be a good learning experience in patience and letting go of those things we can't control. For both of us. Hang in there, train with us as you can, eat well, take your supplements and pay lots of attention to yourself and your recovery. Life is a long term thing.Tonyhttp://www.crossfitgenius.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-979575502107472432.post-2808071459273383362010-04-06T16:19:33.722-05:002010-04-06T16:19:33.722-05:00^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'm struggling with the same thing right now.<br /><br />I'm coming off a thyroid meltdown, and although I know all the reasons I'm carrying a few extra pounds, THAT DOESN'T MATTER to my feelings. It feels bad.<br /><br />Here's what I'm doing about it -- maybe it will help you, too...<br />1. I always keep a food journal at http://www.fitday.com. The ritual really helps and because I eat the same things a lot, it's easy to just re-plug them in.<br /><br />2. I'm committing to my 5X a week training: 2 CrossFits, 2 heavy lifting, one run or CrossFit, depending on my mood. During the thyroid meltdown, I cut back to 2-3 times per week. Not good. So now, I"m doing 5. And if I don't feel well enough to go hard, I'll go for a walk. I need to MOVE.<br /><br />3. This is the hardest one: I'm ignoring the extra fat. I'm just trying my damnedest to pretend it's not there. <br /><br />I've lost 47 lbs. so far, and there was a time, when this weight was my "skinny" weight. And I felt damn good about it.<br /><br />I'm trying to remember that feeling and know that if I eat cleanly and train diligently, my body will fall in line.<br /><br />Hang in there! This shit is hard. But I've been following this blog since it started, and y'all are not babies. You're tougher than body fat. You can do it.Mel_Joulwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17231390156357385077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-979575502107472432.post-24232727333463096542010-04-04T19:50:27.243-05:002010-04-04T19:50:27.243-05:00Cardio.

I did it for my first few months of Paleo now I just stick with the same amounts. <br /><br />Good luck on dropping those 10 or so pounds. From reading your blog you have the drive and dedication to do it.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09062481759425885614noreply@blogger.com
