Can I just say really quick how much I am loving this blog? It definitely is motivating me/keeping me accountable just knowing that I'm going to check in with you. Plus I feel like I'm getting to talk with you guys more than normal. I get so excited when I see your posts and comments.
So I did pretty good last week. Not perfect, but I'm not going to let that get me down. I exercised every day last week except for Saturday and I only ate when hungry, except I didn't do so great with that on the weekend. But tomorrow starts a new week and I'm determined to do better.
I do have one question though. I was not going to limit my sweets, but after I ate my meals last week (when hungry of course) I followed them up with a huge dessert. And the times this week that I ate when not hungry, I ate sweets. So today I was thinking maybe I should step up my game a little bit. There's no way I can do something like lean for life or weight watchers right now, it's too much, but I should maybe push myself a little harder right? Anything that is worth doing is usually hard right? So should I only give myself one day a week to eat sweets, or should I start with more baby steps and say one sweet a day? Part of me says to take baby steps and the other part of me says, there is no reason to eat that much sweets and I have over 100 pounds to loose. I need to do something more drastic if I want some results, yes?
By the way, I kept trying to leave comments on the last couple of posts and blogger kept kicking me off for some reason, so I want to tell you good job Mel for doing something hard, and good job Gretchen for inspiring her to do it. I enjoyed reading that post because Ian and I have been talking about making "we do hard things" our family motto lately. But I'm proud of you guys! Keep it up! We can do this.
I'm off to bed now. Instead of asking questions tomorrow, I'll post something inspirational instead.
Howdy Deb!
ReplyDeleteGood job last week! You are making healthy changes!
I would say a treat a day, but it's really whatever you're feeling. I know the more we limit sweets the less we crave them, but doing drastic things can really backfire too. A treat a day allows you to never feel deprived and is probably a good transition. Then you can naturally reach the point of, "I don't need a treat today."
I know what you mean though, I'm trying to get results, but also not become so deprived that I yo-yo right back! Either way, you are developing awareness of what you eat and your body, so you are on the right track.
