Beautiful crisp clear Saturday morning here in NH. It is 8:35 am, and I am going for a 5 mile walk. I just had my breakfast, and am not hungry. I am totally thrilled about the weight loss thus far, and it has really motivated me. I am watching and counting the calories of every single thng I eat. Planning meals has been a huge help to me. I leave my house every morning at 6:45, and I take with me- 2 egs whites and 1 piece of toast and my coffee. It is not easy getting up and cooking, but I know that it HAS TO BE DONE, and I know that it will keep me on track for the day. As soon as I get to work, I start logging. I work near a food coop and they have good salads and yogurts and fresh meat- so I plan on WALKING to the co-op to purchase my yogurt and meat and water.
I have not snacked at all in between meals, and if I feel the need to... I grab 2 celery sticks or half a cup of cucumbers.
I am trying to keep my carbs below 50g per day and so far, it is working for me. I walk at least 4 miles three times a week. I am exhausted in the evening when I get home and have 2 kids to take care, but I know that it has to be done, & I must remain vigilant & disciplined. I got myself here, and I have to pull myself out.
I try very hard not to get on the scale ...every 4-5 days does it.
I do not want to become obsessed with half pounds and ounces etc.. & I could easily be that person.
In no way has this been easy, especially when my kids are having their chips or oreo cookies.. I literally leave the room or find a chore that has been calling my name. For me.. it is critical that I just get up and find something else to do.
I have been going to bed at 9 pm every single night.. and getting up at 5. * eight-- need it and sometimes I now wake up early..before the alarm clock!! whoo hoo!!
OK have a great day to all out there. Stay motivated, make healthy and wise choices, be kind to yourself and remember today is a new day.. we can always start over and do right even if we had a slip up the day before.
Good luck to everyone.. the battle and challenge for today has begun. One day at a time..
