I am trying to lose weight, a lot of it. Maybe when I have made some progress, I will tell you how much! I have done it before and it always comes back. I am hoping that by setting realistic goals, I will be able to take it off and keep it off. My DH and I will work together to accomplish our goals. My real start date is January 1, but I am taking small steps now to work toward that day. Today I exericsed with my Wii and did some weight training. I am hungry right now and want so much to order Chinese food just one more time before the big changes start! Should I or shouldn't I? It will depend on what DH wants to do. If he wants Chinese, we will order. If he wants to be 'good' I will make a salad. I don't want a salad, but I do want to be healthy. Hey, if anyone is reading this and you have any diet or exercise tips, I'd love to hear them! If you need some advice, I will give you some: www.sparkpeople.com it is a great, free site where you can track what you eat and your exercise, plus read tons of articles with advice, and network with others who are trying to reach the same goals you are. Check it out, you won't be sorry.
Now seems like a good time to go back and look at my goals to see how I am doing. The last set of short term goals I set were these: 1. Eat a more balanced diet (less carbs, more protein and...silly as it sounds...more fat) 2. Stick to between 1300 and 1400 calories a day 3. No Lattes for a week... put $2.00 in my goal jar for every day I don't drink a Latte How have I done? 1. I really make an effort to eat protein with each meal...sometimes that is a handfull of nuts...I added them to a salad the other day and it was very good 2. Doing well here, I seldom go below 1300 and although I do go over 1400 some days, I rarly go above 1500, my top end goal is 1560 so I am eating a good amount of food 3. I have had one or two non-fat lattes since I started this goal...just like diet soda, the less I have them, the less I want them. I will review my other goals tomorrow!
