Here I am trying again to lose the weight. A few years ago I had completely turned my health around for the better and lost a lot of weight. Then I became pregnant and used it as an excuse to eat whatever I wanted and I gained it all plus some back. I have tried off an on since the birth to lose the weight but have not been able to stick with anything.
The first time I lost weight, I did everything cold turkey and all at once (I had some chronic medical issues which really helped push me along), but I have found the same approach will not work this time. I have a lot less free time to exercise and make elaborate meals and snacks. (things are a little complicated for me because I have a wheat allergy, yet I refuse to rely on the highly processed convenience food which is available as "gluten free"- partly because of cost, and partly because I am trying to move towards Clean Eating)
This time I am going to set my self small goals to accomplish and keep adding on as I accomplish them. I am hoping this will teach me how to budget time and find cooking strategies that can fit into my busy day.
My first goals are to get into the habit of an hour of exerciese a day, five days a week and to completely clean the gluten out of my diet. (Gluten has "snuck" back in and I am experiencing chronic problems again- so this is a very important goal to achieve in order for me to have any success)I need to maintain these habits for four weeks before I will add my new goals. I have actually started working on these goals on Monday, and so far I have been successful and have already lost a couple of pounds!
