10 pounds. Why is it so hard this time? I just want to lose 10 pounds all while improving my health. I want to eat healthier and achieve overall balance in my life. I need accountability. It is one of the biggest keys for my success. So, I am going to post every week how/what I am doing. I will be posting what I eat and what I did for exercise.
My biggest temptations right now is snacking. When I get some food out for the kids, I pop a few of whatever it is in my mouth. The "few" turns in to too many and it is messing with my goals.
Every weekend I just want to let it all go and relax. This has been my problem for years. I eat well M-Th. But Fri, Sat and Sun, I feel like I am entitled to eat sweets and eat out. I totally gorge and always justify that it is the weekend and it won't effect me that much. Well, it totally effects me. You can't eat well for 4 days and then bad for 3 days and expect results. I have went a little crazy before thinking that I had something wrong with my body. I even went and got my thyroid checked just to make sure. All the while I was doing this 4 days on/3 days off thing and expecting results. Silly!
I need to be healthy as much as I can. I am not expecting to never eat sugar again, but I do expect control over my appetite and the ability to just say no, lol.

I know I can be successful in my goals. I am in control of my success. I can have 100% success to achieve my goals. It comes down to choices I make everyday. So here are my goals:
Lose 10 pounds by May 1st.
Eat 3 servings of vegetables a day (most days I get like 1 - maybe).
Plan
I have been getting up at 5:30 and working out for a half hour. I will continue to do this. I run M, W, F. On Tues/Thursday I will do 10 Minute Abs and 10 Minute total body. On Saturday I will do yoga.
As far as diet, I will keep my calorie count at 1200 a day. I will incorporate more vegetables and fruits. I will eat less carbohydrates.
You are my hero, just getting up at 5:30 to work out...that is awesome. You have a great exercise routine. GOOD JOB!!!!
ReplyDeleteJennie I have the same schedule as you. I do good all week and when Sunday rolls around I gorge on all the cookies I can!!! I can't believe you get up at 5:30, you are the woman!!! I want to join in on this, but I need to set my goals first!!! Awesome idea!!!
ReplyDeleteJeanie I have almost the same problem. I do exercise regular but I just think that means I can eat more. I eat well, but all day long. I also love sweets. I usually do well for about 2 to 3 weeks and then blow it all together. My problem area is the gut. I know age isn't in my favor but I am determined to beat it.
ReplyDeleteGoal:
Exercise legs every other day, and upper body on the other days.
Drink more liquids. (Water)
Eat more veggies
Eat less treats
Be Happy
