It has been quite a while since I have visited this blog. I have focused on my healthy self but not really hard for quite some time.I am not one who does well with diet plans or systems. I do best when I use the buddy system and focus on being healthy.
I don't need to be the skinny minnie person I used to be. I just want to feel good and feel healthy. Right now my knees hurt a lot, my ankles ache, my muscles ache, I am tired and my clothes are not comfortable. My focus is getting to a place where I feel better and comfortable.
I lose weight best by cutting down on my food intake and eating less. Not necessarily cutting things completely out of my diet. I find when I do that I feel deprived and splurge.
So those who are on board with me lets get this started! My goal is that we report here on at least a weekly basis. Daily would be nice but that is unrealistic. If you can post daily that is great. I will try my best to keep up but please if you join in on this challenge post weekly starting Monday August 13, 2018.
Tell the group your goal, then each time you report give us your progress. Through this group we can lift each other up and keep each other motivated.
MY GOAL:
My goal is to lose 2 lbs per week. I plan to do this by cutting back on my food intake and by not eating after 6 PM. I also plan to exercise on a regular basis.
Lets go and get this started!!
So today was day 1 for me. I did fair. I avoided sweets and junk food except I did eat a few chips.
ReplyDeleteI had chicken, baked not fried, for dinner. A few fried gizzards but limited them and potatoes and squash. I did use some oil but it was canola oil. If I avoid oils altogether I get constipated which is not good.
I plan to do some exercising later on. Maybe a late night walk or maybe just run up and down my stairs. Can't do a lot just yet....
Will not eat anymore tonight...it is 7 PM. If I just can't handle it though I will eat an apple....
I hope that I am not the only one here...I will check to see if anyone else is joining me on this journey...
I am not sure there is any point to this blog since no one wants to join in with me. I might just have to take this journey alone....
ReplyDeleteI had friends tell me I should go ahead and comment here even though no one is joining in....so I will post updates.
ReplyDeleteYesterday was ok. I did spurge and get a Bahama Rama Mama but without the ice cream. I ate less food for the day and did not eat after 6:30. Didn't exercise because I had planned to walk however we had lightening. I hope that I get an exercise program started soon.....
I am posting this to my writing group today in hopes someone out there will join in....
ReplyDeleteOk so I am going this alone.....really did want the moral support but I guess this will be my support....
ReplyDeleteI have not been starving myself but watching how much I eat. I have not been depriving myself of the foods I love, just giving up one thing for another.For instance if I eat something sweet I don't eat more of something else or less of another thing.
So far I have lost a pound. Not a lot but progress!
Today I did fairly good. I did eat some junk for lunch but not all of it and then did better at dinner. Did not eat late.
ReplyDeleteI am losing momentum here though knowing I am writing to myself...most likely will not post here except maybe once a week. However will most likely lost interest when I feel I am the only one interested in my journey.
