Well I lost 3 pounds and my goal is to just lose 1lb a week, so I am very happy. I consumed a side salad every single day as promised. However... I did NOT exercise at all.
I also had some moments of weakness where I went off diet and ate some things that were not the best for me,
This was Triggered by a few things...1) I need to go grocery shopping to stock up on the good foods.
2) I was running all over the place for my kids and ate fast food. I did eat a side salad but also french fries....
I Snuck in some reeses yesterday too. which wouldnt have been too horrible except I ate an entire king size pack in less than 2 minutes (4 reeses).
Overall I am happy. I guess small changes really can make a difference even with some of the not so healthy stuff still in there. Glad the scale still went down. My goal for this week is to continue to eat salad everyday (as much as I want) and still allow myself to eat everything else I really want (in moderation). I also hope to get to the gym a few times this week.

ready to change my life... One day at a time!

i have been on hundreds of "diets" over the years. Some diets lasted only a few hours, some lasted a month. One thing all the diets had in common... I lost my willpower and my motivation. I would typically, Starve myself, workout like crazy, weigh myself 10 times a day. get depressed if my results arent showing fast enough or if I gain weight, burn out, then start binge eating until I eat 10 times my weight in every "bad food" i could think of and quietly resume my old bad habits of fast food daily, eating extra meals, and being sedentary. I am paying for a gym membership and I havent even considered going in over 2 months.
This time... Is going to be different!!! Why? Because I feel like I am going to die if I keep up this way. I feel winded just walking up my steps, and this is a far jump from the girl who used to practice martial arts for hours almost every single day. I have 4 kids, three are teens and my fourth and final treasure is 3 1/2yrs old. I am doing this not just for me, but for them.
I used to hate salad. Hated the way it tasted. Couldnt stand any salad dressing that I tried. Now I have finally found a couple low calorie dressings that I like and in addition to adding chopped apples and grapes or a small sprinkle of shredded lowfat cheese I am finding that I can actually enjoy and look forward to eating a salad as a side dish or with sliced chicken as a meal..
My goal is to eat salad every day (in addition to other healthy food choices). But to eat stuff that tastes good that I enjoy. I will allow myself unlimited salad. This way I wont feel deprived and binge. I also will allow unlimited snacks of 5calorie jello and plain air-popped popcorn. Everything else that I desire I will still eat.... Just in moderation and will keep an honest journal tracking every item that I consume. I will workout for one hour, 3 times a week instead of daily. When my weight loss hits a plateu then I will add an extra day of workouts. I will workout by walking, bike riding, and maybe going to that darn gym that I am paying for. Instead of trying to rapidly lose weight I will aim to lose just one pound a week. I will use a tape measure to track my measurements because sometimes the scale may not reflect inches lost. I weight 175 and I plan to lose 30lbs by my birthday august 30th bringing me to 145. I will then probably change my plan to lose only 1/2 lb a week until I get down to my goal weight of 125 (another 20lbs).. For a total loss of 50 lbs!
Anyhow, here I am day one! HUGS!!!!
