Been a While
Haven't posted for a bit, just doing other things. Had a bad couple of days a few weeks back, but worked it out and got myself back under control. I borrowed my sister in laws Wii balance board, and have been doing EA Active, Wii Fit Plus and Gold's Gym Boxing every morning, EA Active twice sometimes. Got really great Reebok Runners running shoes, really light and airy. Got a pedometer too, and yesterday I clocked in 13,000 steps, with nothing extra in my day but going to work. Been getting tons of compliments and comments on my weight loss, including from my female residents (I work in a nursing home), and they are all really supportive!
I am 5 1/2 lbs from my half way mark. The lowest I have ever been in my adult life is 194 lbs, and I am so excited to go past that, giving it a kick in the ass as I go. I am now feeling myself get smaller, very slowly, and I find that the exercise is helping give me more energy and pumping me up mentally I think.
I have stopped doing my food journal.. I eat the same things every day, almost without fail.
Breakfast: Egg Beaters omelette with mushrooms and a tablespoon of cheese
Lunch: Oven baked chicken breast with salad and low fat dressing mixed with salsa
Dinner: Same as lunch
Snacks: Apple or kiwi or air popped popcorn or pear, or a seasonal fruit (raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, watermelon)
Drinks: Breakfast-milk, lunch and dinner-water or diet Pepsi, depends on how I feel, at work-water..
If we are going away I cook my chicken in advance and pack all of my food. We went away to sister in laws last weekend (3 hours one way), and I packed everything that I would need in a big cooler, and brought another cooler for healthy drinks and snacks for the kids. I am trying really hard to get them eating and drinking healthier, There is no longer regular pop brought into our house, Hubby has lost 15 lbs since Christmas, and I would like to think that I had something to do with that. We have take out once a month. Hubby loves Chinese, toddler loves McDonalds, Tween changes her mind constantly, so we hit the Food Court at the local mall, and I get Subway, everybody else gets what they want and we all eat together, happy with our choices.. You can't beat that!!
