.....As I mentioned one of my goals this year is to loose 60 pounds (again not a typo). I have been working out consistantly for 3 weeks now, having missed 3 days. I have not seen any results, so I restarted my South Beach. Yesterday was Day 2 and I was wanting junk food SO bad. I was literally craving waffles - so bad I could taste the syrup. My kids had some M&M's last night and it took a lot for me not to eat them (not the kids - the M&M's). Then on Biggest Loser they showed two huge trofs of M&M's and a piece of choclate cake. Eek!! I made it through the night. Onto Day 3.
Now by the sounds of the previous paragraph it probably seems like an insane diet but really I get to eat a lot of great things. Yesterday I had eggs for breakfast, hard boiled they are easier on work days. I had string cheese and nuts for snack. For lunch I had chicken fajitas, I made the night before, with black beans and guacamole. I than had a jello cup with whip cream (free) for a snack and for dinner I made a stirfry with asparagus, brussel sprouts, mushrooms and chicken. It was SO good! So see I get some treats I just want to eat like my former self - JUNK!!
Wish me luck.
Wow, that is a mighty goal and it sounds like you are off to a great start. Just remember as you work out that you are gaining muscle which will keep you from showing a weight loss in pounds, but you should be feeling better and clothes should be loosening up a bit. Don't get too stuck to the scales for tracking your progress. Just keep moving and Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI wish you tons of luck and am cheering you on!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it!
I know you can!
Keep up the good work!
I know it's not easy!

I really try to watch my (fake) sugar intake with a family history of diabetes & my favorite "junk food" are dried sour cherries. It's like diving into a package of sour patch kids. They're so good, and they're good for you, too! They get kind of pricey at $5 a bag (near all the dried fruit/gummies), but they're totally worth it.
ReplyDeleteOh man, those diets just don't seem to work for me. All that works is counting calories. LESS must come in. That way if I want to eat Lindt chocolate I can, that just means I get less dinner!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Sounds like you are doing a great job! Well done =) I'm trying to limit my intake of junk food too, but argghhh!! too hard! =(
ReplyDeleteI can't find your email address, by the way. If you could send it to me, that'd be great.

Thanks! =)
UGH!!! Diets are horrible to us. :) Have you tried WW? The only way I can eat healthy is if I can have some of what I crave.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your loss!!! XOXO
