Replace some of the processed foods. I got "accidental muscles" by eating normal amounts of grass fed beef and lamb. What ever is in that amino acid profile really helps me post menopause to say leaner, feel good, and increase my lifting at the gym. Normal, not chronic cardio, not addicted to lifting. Just 2 days per week with rowing sprints thrown in. <br /><br />Grab a copy of The Primal BluePrint by Mark Sisson and Read the success stories over at Mark's Daily Apple (MDA). That will give you ideas for what to add to your own life template as you age. I don't eat dairy ( Primal is Paleo with dairy) but attempt the Primal sleep, play, eating principals. It really does make a difference to all aspects of my life post weight loss. <br /><br />You'll have a long, long time to live post morbid obesity, so by setting up some of the other longevity markers, you'll live a fuller life. Onward.<br /><br />PS- to any of your readers, I've gained 8 pounds in post menopause, post weight loss, and in long term weight maintenance. still normal weight for for me at 5'1". I expect it will take me about 1 year to reverse OR just to maintain. I may NEVER lose it. Doc says it's normal for me, post morbid obesity. For your female readers- never, ever compare yourself to a guy. They have a different hormonal make up for a reason, as we have a different one for very good reasons, too. Focus on yourself always. Comparison will steal your joy.<br /><br />Onward Sean. The road is just beginning.

I tried to eat from the Whole 30 list...it was just not something I felt like I could maintain for the rest of my life. Part of my plan is to incorporate things that I think I can continue...like walking, not running. At my age I'd rather go the distance than win a race. One thing that has hit home with me is eat foods I like! You've said that and it makes perfect sense! My plan is evolving again. I'm trying to find what will work for me. Still struggling but I'm not giving up! Thanks for your daily dose of encouragement!

It's working! I would also revel in the milestone you reached with that 3 lbs. loss--300 pounds GONE! That just boggles my mind. What a great accomplishment, enjoy what you have achieved: that slim body, improved health, that dedication you continue to have to your "plan," and the undying admiration of all of us. You earned it!!!dupsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088114640385927198noreply@blogger.com
