I had my weigh in today and I lost another 2.2 pounds! I am now at a total of 9 pounds!!! Super excited to almost be at the 10 pound mark after 3 weeks. I'm working my tail end off to make these positive changes! It has helped having my Dr and some of the other girls at work eating healthy as well. Instead of going to the catered lunch we all sit together away from the yummy goodness. I have managed to stay away from Chic-fil-a, Newks, Blue Coast Burrito, and Panera. I have to say Panera has HUGE cookies and Newks has amazing peanut butter and chocolate bars! I was told today that now I am eating to few calories. I've tried to stay at 900 or under but they don't like the under 900 idea. some days especially during the week its hard to get enough to eat. It gets so busy and I lose track of time. I don't always get my snacks in like they want me to and I don't want to compensate for calories missed during the day at night. I will get it all sorted out eventually. I still don't see a big difference physically. I will get there. Any sweet snack ideas that aren't full of carbs? I love fruit and its low in calories but man does it have a whole lot of carbs in it. If you have never calorie counted (which I never had and was highly opposed to it before) I suggest you give it a try. You would be amazed at how many calories, carbs, fat, and sodium are in certain foods. This so far has been the best decision I've ever made.
To the friends who have messaged me or commented in passing that I am motivating them, thank you! Its always nice to know that my efforts are helping someone else with the same process.

ReplyDeleteWOOHOO!!! Keep up the great work! I went to the gym for the first time in probably a year today haha! Its hard to get motivated, but it seems you've got your motivation going pretty good for you. Im so happy for you as I say every time I comment. I think the eating healthy part would be the hardest. If you can resist all those urges you are doing great, I dont think anything could keep me away from Chic-fil-a!
Thank you so much Steph!
DeleteI make awesome choices at Panera...right up till they ask me if I'd like a 99 cent pastry....BASTARDS! So much for my Power Mediteranean Turkey salad filling me up with spinach, protein and yumms for under 300 calories...the damn bread and giant soft cookies get me every time. Damn Carbs and treats!
ReplyDeleteI know it sister!! Those cookies are a bitch to resist!
