I have not been able to keep myself motivated a whole lot for tracking my food. And as anyone who has done weight watchers knows, that is key to the program. Then I considered South Beach diet, but with nursing I can not do the first phase of the three phases. Plus, all that meal planning seems very overwhelming, and I just don’t need that right now.
So what to do? I have decided to simply cut out some of the crummy food I have been indulging in and see what happens. I have given up sweets. Yup, all of them; the last time I gave up sweets was 18 years ago between high school and college when I lost 25 pounds. At that time I did more than give up the junk, but I was not nursing a baby, working full-time or living much of a life. For right now, giving up the junk seems to be the most manageable approach. I have made it 45 hours so far…
I got good news on the scale just before I started counting those hours, I stepped on there thinking it would be a real downer, but instead, found I have lost 2 more pounds! I have broken my weight loss goals into three separate goals and that loss puts me past the first goal!!!!
Life got really busy with Easter and some other family functions, so my running accidentally took a break, but I am back at it this week. I got to run outside and it was wonderful. Now if the rain would just go away, or at least come just at night so I could get out there more.
