Well, at least I'm not gaining weight...I haven't been real serious about losing the pounds yet because I've been trying to get my house in order -- and by my house I mean my self. I also haven't been tracking but I feel like the other steps I've taken have been more important so that when I do start tracking (yesterday) I will be more successful:
1) Exercising. I've conquered the 6 am workouts again. And I've added the lunch time swimming and running 4 days a week. So, I'm seeing 9 workouts a week if I don't do anything on the weekends.
2) No more caffeine. Caffeine affects me strangely. When I drink caffeine - even the teensiest amounts in the morning -- I don't sleep at night. Sleep is VERY important for weight loss. And caffeine also makes me feel hungry all day. Don't know if it's that way for anyone else, but it is definitely that way for me.
3) No more cane or corn sugar. I just can't control myself around it. Honey, maple syrup, agave -- those things with a lower glycemic index don't affect me and don't make me wanna binge. I also don't get addicted to those sweeteners.
OK, so I've kicked all of those things that make me unsuccessful and I've added back the exercising (and next week I start playing soccer again) and now I'm ready to start cutting back the calories.
Yesterday was my first day of being serious about it and things went very well. I even had rib eye steaks for dinner and still stayed under my target calories. And I donated blood, which usually makes me want to over eat. I'm eating the other half of my steak with a salad today and I've got plans, baby. Plans!
