I want, no I NEED to lose 50 pounds! I am so sick of the lose and gain - lose and gain roller coaster. I hate the idea of tracking calories, but I went back to Sparkpeople today. If I follow the meal plan, I don't have to actually count calories, just eat what the plan tells me. Maybe this time I can get a jump start and then just get used to eating a healthy, balanced diet. Exercise is one key ingredient to my success. Total Gym. here I come!
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!
You can do it..you have done it before and you can do it again. Just stick with it! Good Luck!!!
