Before After

First step.. figure out what your doing

If it's not one thing with EP it's another.  I've tried writing a few times and I dont know if it's the computer I was using or what but I couldnt comment anyone and I couldnt write a post. I dunno.. it was very frusterating though. Before I start writing about weight loss I do want to add a picture from the family photo shoot. I havent recieved them yet but the photographer did send me a few. 

       That's my two year old.. well close enough anyways. Ok.. so I created a blogspot.com page to take the place of a journal. So sometime ya'll might get a copy and paste article from it because sometimes a conversation to myself works so much better than just random chit chat. So first step for me is this. Figure out which diet I'm actually on. I've been flip-flopping through diets the past few weeks because well.. I didnt know which one would work better. I usually switch between calorie counting and wendi's plan(ww).  So after much consideration and some bingeing.. I've decided this. No matter what I choose.. if I stick to a diet it's going to work. I think all of these diets created work.. it's all about sticking to them. Why it took me this long to think of that.. well I dont know but that's not what matters. So my conclusion is this. I like how Wendi's alternates points per day.  But I find calorie counting much much easier. So I figured out how many calories I should be eating per point day. And this is what I'm going to follow.

            Monday-  1300 calories

            Tuesday- 1200 calories

            Wensday- 1100 calories

            Thursday- 1350 calories

            Friday- 1150 calories

            Saturday- 1850 calories (SHD)

           Sunday- 1100 calories

So that's what my week will look like. Also I've been trying to figure out how much working out I should do per week to see a change as well. And from various websites I've figured that I should be burning at least 760 calories in activity which is a 2 hour workout at the gym with me so no stress there. My official weigh in will be every Saturday morning. But for a month starting tommorow I will not weigh in at all. I need to get back on track and focus on what I'm doing. This has worked well for me before because I wasnt constantly worried about what the scale would read in the morning. On low days I will  allow myself to eat whatever calories I burned because I need to keep my body healthy but on high days unless I'm extreemly hungry I will not be  eating the calories I burned. So that's it. That's my plan. Now that I have that done I plan to have an easier time staying on track. I really am starting to believe that it's all about sticking to one diet more rather than finding "the right diet". I think the right diet is just what we find easier for ourselves. But that it for now. I'm going to try to check up on every one before my bed time.

My goodness

she is a cutie....with attitude it looks like.  Sounds like you came up with a good plan for you.

Right Diet

You're so right, we have to stick to our healthy habits.  But it doesn't have to be a diet, per se.  This is just life.  You know? So I think you've got the right idea.  Stay away from that scale.

Aaawwwww!!!

She is too cute!

I think you are exactly right.  Any sensible diet is going to work.  Just find the one that best suits you.  Good luck with more success!

omg

That's the cutest lil girl!!!!!!! =D

About the amount of daily cals and exercise...I use to not eat enough and workout like an insane person every day to only find out that if I ate like 1500-1600 cals a day and stuck to 1 hour of working out per day gave me more results. lol..but we're all different. So try out different things and see how your body reacts to it =D

I'm confident that you'll find the motivation to move and eat healthy and get where you want to be! I'm with you. xox

Thanks!

Thanks for the encouraging words.  EP has been messed up but I think it's fixed now, hopefully.  You are doing awesome on eating and exercise!  Keep up the great work!  Your daughter is precious!
