Heather's Journal - Feel free to post

[hfrink13]

Hi,

My name is Heather and I am new here. I have been trying to eat better since Jan 9. I am 35 and 5'2" I weigh right now 130. I am trying to get down to about 120 or 125. I started at 135.5. There are three of us at work who have been trying to lose weight and eat better. I have been doing Dance Revolution for an hour everynight. I do not like to exercise, so this is fun for me. I am in a slump right now and I have not lost any weight in the last 2 weeks, so I am a little discouraged. I started out with the South Beach Diet and pretty much try to stick to that. I thought maybe this would give me even more motivation having other people to talk to about this. My coworkers are good, but they cheat often and keep losing and I don't cheat often and I am not losing.

For breakfast I had
2 pc of Whole Grain Raisin Toast

Lunch
Whole grain pasta
sugar free pudding

snack

triscits

dinner

salad with chicken/salsa a little ranch dressing

snack
sugar free jello

Happy Valentines Day all. I had a good start to the day. Then my husband called and said that he got a babysitter and that we were going out to dinner. So much for a eating good. Although I didn't do too bad. But I have yet to get the exercise in. I am going to try to get that in soon. The DH is watching tv right now and I need that to get in my workout. So hope everyone had a good day.

Breakfast
2 slices whole wheat raisin toast

lunch
whole wheat pasta w/ricotta cheese and sauce

Dinner
Chicken Marsala with zucchini, Yellow squash and yes I had some mashed potatos.

NO workout yet, but I hope to get that in soon.

Just wanted to welcome you to the WISH Journals. I find this a great place to stay inspired!

I love Dance Revolution, but I haven't played it in so long! I should get that out also. It is a good workout w/out feeling like work! DH and I used to take turns playing and the other would do our little stair stepper we have.

You sound like you are doing good on your foods. I would caution though that it seems kind of repetitive and you may burn out on some of the foods quickly. I do anyway. Maybe adding some variety will help you to start losing again too?

Keep up the good work and don't get discouraged that the weight is coming off slowly. It will happen and slow is better in the long run.
