Down 2 lbs! It is amazing when you just start making a few better choices that you can really lose some weight. Now to keep going.
Thanks for stopping by Z! I like Dr. Phil's book. It really makes you look at various reasons why you struggle with weight, why you make poor choices. Also it teaches you how to think differently and see things from a different perspective. Kind of a pep talk at times, but it works well. My problem is that I didn't finish the book before the accident, which just threw everything out of whack. So now I am starting over with reading. I also have his cookbook as well as Bob Green's (Oprah's trainer). They have some really great recipes that are easy to fix, healthy, and have a sense of gourmet so you don't feel stuck in that trap of making the same food over and over.
On to yesterday. Actually, I think it went rather well. I followed my food plan except for the following: I had chips for lunch rather than veggies (was craving them, so I gave in, but there aren't anymore in the house), I had a Reese's heart in the afternoon (yes, I know candy bars won't help), I only ate 1/2 of my apple because it just didn't have a great flavor (I think it was picked too early, I ate more than one helping of my taco salad with tostitos, I had a cinnamon biscuit and hot cocoa. It was definitely a plus compared to before and the great things is that I did follow my food plan where as I could have easily ditched it.
Water was only 36 oz, made it to bed closer to 11pm, but the rest of my goals were met. DH was sick yesterday, so I didn't get as much work done as I thought I would since I had to take care of some of his tasks as well, but I was still busy, which is good. I even went the to library to read Dr. Phil instead of going to DQ when I was waiting for DD10 to finish her dance lessons. That is a positive.
Today, I am sticking with the plan. We are expecting a blizzard here so the kids will be home early from school. It was almost 50 degrees this morning and they are talking 30 below with the wind chill. Talk about a huge temperature change.
Food for today:
Breakfast - 1 egg, ham, yogurt, 1 c grapefruit juice
AM snack - cheese & crackers
Lunch - taco salad & tostitos (go easy on the chips)
PM snack - veggies & 2 Tbsp of dip
Supper - talapia, green beans, salad, rice
Goals for today:
1. 60 oz water
2. read 1/2 at least of Dr. Phil (I think I am at the part of writing down goals)
3. project - bookwork & W-2's
4. 2 breaks of 15 min where I walk around the house 3 times (the floor plan creates a circular path and just getting up and moving is key)
5. In bed by 10:30
That is enough for now. Everyone have a great day and drink plenty of water!
