Weight 199lbs Size 16 Mood Okay
Pounds lost: 16
The goal: 150lbs
That's 49 pounds to lose. Still sounding a little scary, but I'm getting more optimistic.
The schedule:
Work Work Work Everyday!
I've been missing my workouts this past month but my current work regiment has me steadily loosing and toning, so i'm not being to hard on myself. My place of employment is on a rather large hill so i'm hiking it daily. There are also 9 staircases to get my heart rate pumping. I try to hustle when it feels like it's getting easier.
The Diet:
Drinking water. Still! I'm up to at least 4 bottles a day.
Eating breakfast. I've been doing oatmeal + a smoothie (my hub makes really great ones)
Trying to eat mostly carb free lunches. Lunch meat, almonds or pistachios, apples or oranges.
Using the grill very often. I eat more veggies this way and we use far less oil and butter.
Foods to be cut:
Still Most breads. I splurge on pizza every now and then. (It's still my most favorite food)
Sugars. A little chocolate during that time, but I've been doing great at not missing it much.
Beer. Summer weather makes it crazy hard but I'm trying!
All and all I'm feeling good and seeing progress. I'm down a size in both pants and shirts and my arms are toning quickly. I am slowly changing the way I think about food as well. Eat to nourish not to fill! It helps having such a great support system as well. My best friend is always there to brain storm with me, and my hub is trying just as hard as I am. I do hope to incorporate some of my old workouts with my work schedule soon. Summer is also great for me activity wise. We hike, swim and fish most weekends which make us happy and is great for us as a family. Life is good and feeling healthy is great!
