OMG! I was a little disappointed this morning when I got on the scale. I jumped to 181.4. It's my own fault. I wanted to continue celebrating right through the first day of the year. I should have quit while I was ahead. No big deal. Game on as of today.
I am not quite sure how I am going to go about the dieting this year. I will probably get back to medi-fast at the end of January. I still have a lot of meals I need to use up before I go ahead full force. In the mean time I am going to go with 2 or three lean and green meals a day with my medi-fast meals in between or maybe a piece of fruit. I know from past experience I need to eat 5 meals a day. (Even a fruit constitutes a meal.) If this continues to work I may just keep it at that since I have to learn to eat that way. My biggest problem is being prepared. It's always been my problem. I have to work really hard on that.
In addition to learning to eat right I have got to increase my exercise. With my Jawbone Up I should be getting a minimum of 10,000 steps a day and I very seldom reach that minimum. Looks like I have got to work a lot harder at that.
I have a lot of work to do and it will take a year of improving my eating habits, exercise habits and routine habits. Less computer time is going to be one of my biggest obstacles this year. But, it has to be done.
Here's looking forward to a great 2014, better health and a better attitude will make it happen!!!
I think we all over did it over the holidays. I got home Sunday with an attitude of 'I will lose weight, diet and exercise!!' and proceeded to gain 3 lbs in 2 days. Well I took off 4 last night. And have gym scheduled today. Of course Pete has lost 8 lbs. Typical. Well, I had my first Pampered Chef meeting last night too, and I needed it because I was very unmotivated. It helped, I'm on track. Ok, can't fuss around, have to walk the dogs and get to the gym. :-D
ReplyDeleteI was really horrible and I am having such a difficult time getting back on track. I did good for a few day--almost a full week and lost 4 pounds and put it right back on over the weekend. I don't know why I feel I need a reward because I took off 4 pounds of the 16 I put on. When will I learn. I feel like I start over every day.
ReplyDeleteI am right there with you, but we have to plug away. of course this week pete lost 11. whatever. i've taken off 7. keep at it. i d not know how you do it with your meals/food though. i can't deprive myself. I'm not really even ON a diet, i'm just eating a lot less. a lot less. because I eat like a pig all day long. now, way less meat, like once a week, loads of veggies!! very little carbs, but cannot do without. a slice of bread, or cup of rice.
ReplyDeletehey, let me know how many of you will want a ticket on the murder mystery train when you know, we'll need to make a reservation, I've already bought my flight. I'm coming feb 17th to 24th.
