Dieting thoughts:
So I have finally become obsessed and neurotic about dieting…which in my case is a good thing. I am starting to re-think everything I put in mouth. However, I must say I HATE the weekends! For some reason I get thrown-off track. I guess because I sleep a little later which means I don’t eat breakfast and I am a little bit more flexible on calorie in-take (mainly because I don’t eat my Lean Cuisine on the weekends); therefore, it takes till Wednesday to stop feeling hungry all the time. It’s frustrating giving into hunger but I am going to try with all my will power not to consume a mid-afternoon snack. I need to keep reminding myself that I refuse to go into my 30’s fat!!!
I also must say that I am enjoying reading diet success stories and healthy food articles everyday online or in magazines. It makes me feel like I’m not the only one out there that needs to loose 30 or more pounds and that there is light at the end of this tunnel. Though the rest of my life is falling down around me, I am finding a happiness and elation every time I step on the scale and see a new number. I weigh myself daily to make myself accountable for everything I consume and for the first time in forever I jump out of bed excited to step on the scale and look at my body in the buff.
Lifestyle changes:
I am noticing that I have a tendency to eat while on the phone so I have decided to cut out phone time after dinner and focus on getting in my workout and getting to bed on time. I also realize that sometimes I want to eat even when I’m not truly hunger (no growl), so I am now distracting myself with writing or other activities.
I’m also doing this whole death to cardio thing and am swapping out my hour walk for a 20 min strength training program three times a week…I am hoping that I will start to see visible signs of weight-loss. For some reason whenever I loose weight my body starts to sag so I am in need of some toning.
Dieting Highs:
I was able to pass on my sister’s birthday dinner for a healthier option (salad) and had room for cake.
Dieting Lows:
I am realizing that eating certain sugary snacks makes me hungry and that I will probably have to cut out sugar from my food-intake period.
