So new year, new diet. Such a cliche. But I weighed in tonight, and I've only gained 4 pounds since October, when we went to the wedding, blew our diets, and didn't look back until New Years. Not bad, really. I felt like I gained a lot more, frankly. My knees gave out last weekend, like they just couldn't support my body. So that was the wake up call, not necessarily the new years.
I changed it to the Mediterranean diet, just because it is closest to the way we currently eat. We need more veggies and fruits, and reduce portions is the main correction. I already eat primarily whole grains when I do carbs. Oh yeah, and the sugar has to go, as well as the creamer in my coffee. I'd bed I'd lose about 400 calories a day in my diet if I just got rid of the sugary creamer.
Another main "fix" would be to eat on a regular basis throughout the day, instead of waiting to long and binging at dinner.
And of course, exercise. I just find any excuse I can not to do it, but feel so good when I do. Why can't I remember that???
