This post was published on Monday, October 27, but the information comes from yesterday.
Let me start with a bit about where I'm coming from. Most of my adult life I've struggled a bit with my size. When I'm very physically active I keep the weight off. But in reality I LOVE TASTY FOOD! I LOVE sugar too! And most fried things (PF Changs Crispy Green Beans---hey, they are at least a vegetable!) I started running again this June and find that it's MUCH harder with an extra 30 pounds but that I still love it...but haven't lost any size or weight--probably because of my love of Blizzards and cinnamon rolls! My kitchen has been torn apart for the past three weeks due to a kitchen remodel and I've eaten at every fast food restaurant within 5 miles of my house more than once!
I sort of feel like I need a fast food intervention right now!! :)
By Thursday afternoon I should have a fully functional kitchen again...but then I am also faced with the old adage, what's for dinner. I didn't grow up in a kitchen and what I do know how to make I've taught myself in the past few years.
Saturday I was Facetiming with my cousin and I couldn't get over how chubby my face looked. I was so embarrassed!
I weighed myself Sunday morning (always first thing) and I weighed in at a depressing 160 pounds. That's up 17 pounds from this spring! So I made that decision to finally do something about it.
Monday morning I went jogging outside---my favorite! I declined the cinnamon rolls for breakfast and the buskers and gravy, instead opting for a couple of granola type bars. (NOTE to self: find good recipes for my own bars!) I had Mexican food for lunch (sopes) and a Wendy's 1/2 pecan chicken salad for dinner. Basically I'm happy with my choices today. That's absolutely a step in the right direction!
Also, Monday morning I weighed 157.2. So tomorrow I jog again and try again to make healthier food choices.
Thanks!
