I've been overweight for years, and like the typical story, have been on and off of diets numerous times. I've lost up to 25 pounds on a diet before, but gained it back plus some. So, I'm not going on a diet, I'm CHANGING MY LIFESTYLE!! I am using Weight Watchers materials as my guide, but am trying to incorporate healthy habits, not just count the points until I reach my goal. (Which is what I was supposed to be doing all along, right?!)
I'm watching the Biggest Loser right now, which is really inspiring. I some episodes Tivo'd to watch when I need the boost. I know their weekly numbers can be pretty unrealistic, but I love watching them change, and seein them get smaller right before my very eyes. I decided that this time I'm going to change right along with them!
OK, so I really started seriously this past Monday (10/2), but I just found this cool site and decided that the accountability would be good for me, plus the encouragement from others and tips, etc.
I've done pretty well this week with making healthy choices. I've worked out once, and am getting ready to go again.
My overall goal: Lose 100 pounds. That would put me towards the upper middle of my healthy weight range. Most of all I want to be healthy and confident and be able to wear whatever I want and look good!
Todays menu:
Breakfast: Zone snack bar-2 pts
Morning snack: grapes-1
Lunch: McAlister's Deli grilled chicken club sandwich-15
Potato salad-7
Afternoon snack: Candy corn-4
Dinner: Chicken Tortilla Soup-2
Apple-1
Total: 32
OK, so I'm a little bit over today, but I've saved enough the rest of the week that one or two points is OK. (I still do it the old way) Plus, I walked up about 9 or 10 flights of stairs at work today and I'm getting ready to leave for the gym.
