About 1 week ago my stomach dropped!!!! I knew I was letting myself go and just eating what ever. I have 9 children so you can image the snacks and the meals at dinner time. I also homeschool so I am always serving food all day long. I actually weighed 170.0. I have family members who weigh 300 pounds. This WILL NOT happen to me.
I have attempted to lose weight off and on for the past couple of years but always gave up. This time I can tell my attitude is different and I know I can do this. My weight today 163.4. My ultimate goal is 125.0. I plan on losing 10 pounds a month. My first goal is to 160.0 by April 1st. I believe this goal is right around the corner.
I HATE excercising! I have managed to make myself do 100 crunchies every day and 50 lower crunchies where I lay down bend my knees and lift my knees and then lowers my toes till they touch the ground and repeat. I also have been speed walking for 30 minutes. You never know-- after all this is said and done I could get addicted to excercising.
I have lowered my carb intake and also drastically lowered my sugar in take. The only sugar I do take in is from fruits and veggies. My one spluges i do that makes me feel like I am not going without is I do have about 2 to 3 cups of coffee with creamer in the mornings. As long as I am making progress and losing weight and reaching my goal I will continue doing this. I might come to a place where I need to let that go but for now I choose not to.
I have been drinking lots of water. I have always had trouble drinking water for some reason. I know it is very good for me. I found that if I put ice in my water and also drink it though a straw I can drink it much easier. I am finding that the more water I drink the more I crave it. I never saw this coming.
Pressing on!!
