Well my new lifestyle change is going amazing so far. Only two weeks in though and have a long road ahead of me.
The Body By Vi Shakes didn't work out. I couldn't get past the sweet nasty taste of them. Luckily I have a friend who is getting amazing results from them and she is going to take the shakes!
I have cut my carbs down by 90%. In the mornings I am eating two eggs (sometimes with cheese and other yummy toppings). I snack on raw veggies through the day at work and eat a nice lunch, usually a lettuce wrap with tuna or lunch meat and cheese. My dinners aren't really carb free, but I am eating in moderation and then going for a mile walk in evenings or bike rides. I am very happy to say that I have a already lost 8lbs. Seeing that weight come off is enough to keep me motivated. I also love that the weather will be turning cool so I can hopefully start walking longer distances and then maybe and that is a BIG maybe, try incorporating running? Yes this coming from a girl that has always said I would NEVER run unless a bear was chasing me :) I still have some time to process that whole idea. So instead of jumping on the diet craze of the month, my main goal is watching my food, moderation of food and exercise. I think I can be successful at this.
Goal weight is 150 lbs and I am at 172 lbs right now.
State Fair this weekend! I saw last night on the news that the fair had a cripsy creme hamburger. I was set that I was going to eat one this weekend and then changed my mind. Think I will stick with a turkey leg or something just a "little" healthier than a hamburger enclosed in two donuts :) now the Wisconsin fried jalapeno cheese is a totally different story!
Congrats on the weight loss!! That is great. :)
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the fair!
I'm so proud of you!! You are doing a great job. Maybe I'll jump on the healthy train with you. Keep up the good work!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! That is great that you are seeing a change so soon! Carbs are a huge factor (in my opinion). Have fun at the fair.
ReplyDeleteGood job, T!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are doing awesome! I have to say that I think you are going about it perfectly. Eating in moderation is key. Yes, cutting out unhealthy carbs is very, very key, but please remember that your body does actually require some carbs. Sounds like you've got a handle on that though, except for being tempted by the crispy cream hamburger! Glad you changed your mind on that one because it just sounds nasty! Lol.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the wieght loss....it's certainly not an easy thing to do...you go!!!! Have fun at the fair!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you have fun at the fair. I have to be so careful with fried foods with the IBS problem.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! It's always so motivating to see those first few pounds drop off. As for running, running in fall is my absolute favorite...the air is cool, the scenery is beautiful...I highly encourage giving it a try at some point! If you do, try a walk/run combo and don't push yourself too hard too fast.
ReplyDeletewell done on the weigh loss so far. I agree with you and the ladies above - diets don't work long term. Its all about making better choices and getting enough water and exercise. You're doing a great job of keeping it motivating.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your healthy eating!
