So here we are at the holidays again and I must say this year is so very different from any other holiday I've ever had. I feel in control. I haven't been eating holiday sweets or treats, or over eating at all. I can't say why, but I will say it started back before Halloween. We actually threw candy away that we bought. I ate none of it. Usually I eat most of it and have to run and get extra candy during the candy doling event. I am grateful for the changes my body and mind have made while I was wishing I could. lol!
In my conscious defense I have been working out daily, doing about 2 miles (at the very least) on the GAZELLE. You know, that TONY LITTLE elliptical machine? It's fun to use and so very easy on the joints. lol! I do about 30mins a day while watching The Young & The Restless at lunch. I always start during the last 30mins of the 1-hour soap opera show, because by that time, I'm so committed to the show that I know I am going no where. So far it's been working. I burn about 300+ calories in 30 mins. every other day. Oh! I also use SWEET SWEAT. It's a stick you rub on stubborn areas to increase the fat burn capacity. I love it!
As for my diet, I have only been watching what I eat. No diets. No special foods. I simply don't choose soda, my appetite seems to have decided to not crave chocolate. Honestly, I'm amazed on that one, but I'm not craving it. I steer clear of carbs, I quit popcorn, (after getting sick at HARKINS theater a few months back) and I take it easy on the beef. Chicken digest faster. lol!
So far, I'm 176 and I've done nothing drastic.
I came here to check in and state that in 2015 i'm up'ing my game. I'm going for a weigh-in of 160 by the end of the year. You think I can do it?
You better believe I'm going for it. I see I've got my mind and my stomach on my side. lol! We're a force to be reckoned with!
Now, if I could just convince myself to eat more vegetables on a DAILY, beyond a side salad and apple sauce....
:-)
