Hey guys!
Just wanted to update you on my progress. I haven't weighed myself in almost two weeks, but I am down almost 10 pounds from late August.
The end goal is keeping it off and staying healthy. AS for the food, I have been rocking it (for the most part).
Here were my guidelines:
- No more juice (I'going to really miss my one glass of OJ a week)
I have been acing this one. I miss orange juice, but I stick to coffee and water. I've also tried almond milk, which was better than soy milk, so we are making progress. - No more booze (This doesn't really matter as I often am the DD)
As I stated above...this doesn't matter.
- Load up on fruits at breakfast (LOVE this rule!)
Surprisingly, this one has been the hardest. The first week, it was easy because all the berries were fresh, and throwing some berries and bananas together is easy peasy. But lately, I have been getting in only a banana and/or plum. My goal for next week is to stock up and pre-cut all my fruit the night before.
- No startchy carbs after 3 PM (do NOT love this rule, but I've got to stick to it!)
This has been a lot easier than I thought! Win! I will admit, there were a few weekend nights where I strayed a little, but for the most part, I have been obedient.
- No eating after 7 PM (good because I can eliminate my night time snack)
Again, this was easier than I thought. Thursdays are going to be rough if I keep going to the 6 PM class, but protein post workout is good right?- Dinner should be protein and complex carbs (i.e veggies)
This also has been pretty easy. Lots of protein and salad.
So slowly, I am getting it. It's really just about learning, and adjusting to what works best for the individual. Are there going to be days where I want to come home and eat junk? Yes. It's human nature. But I feel like the one or two cheat days a week, will eventually turn into one or two cheat MEALS, and hopefully one day, I won't have the desire for the food that is toxic.
Does that even make sense?
As for the workouts, well they have been far from consistent. But that's okay, that is also changing. I semi-started training for the marathon last week, and tonight I took my first fitness junkie class at Zone AP. Holy Moly was it intense. But I think it is something I can get good at with practice.
Anyway, that's enought rambling for today!
