One Day At A Time

So, I have slowly started changing things when it comes to the bad food choices & lacking in the exercise department............ I have been cutting out the carbs this last couple of weeks, and when I am weak, and "sneak" something with carbs........ I REFUSE to think badly of myself for it.

I have also added more and more water, and some more liquid protein, not the food kind. Instead of getting the "head hunger" I was snacking on carbs, I now substitue that with protein, like meat of some sort. (sliced, or jerky).

I am slowly, but steadily changing my bad, bad carb eating ways!!!! I am also doing more exercising....... I am SLOWLY doing all of this.

At first, I had to admit that I need to do something.... to admit to myself that I need to change....
I am so slow in admitting or acting!!!!! But, I AM doing!!!!!

One day at a time......

Great post Jamie!! Let me know if you need some extra support because I'm right there with you. I started a little over a week ago and lost 5 lbs. I am trying not to eat bread, pasta, rice, crackers, cereal etc... I have had a little here and there but have felt ok about the little I've had because it has been just that...a little! I went shopping and bought lots of cheese because I love it and know I will snack on it instead of grabbing something bad for me. I also got some yogurt and nuts. I bought some deli meats too. For lunch today I had 2 slices of deli ham and 2 slices of cheese. My pouch has reset I do believe because jut eating that I felt very full. Tonight for supper I had ground beef stirfry with just hamburger and veggies. I did end up with a couple of andes mints tonight that hubby was eating but I had no bread, potatoes, pasta, rice, crax, or cereal today. I'm feeling good about it. I have been exercising some but wish I could find time to do even more. Even if I sneak a little I know it's much better than I was doing a couple of weeks ago. Good luck and let me know how it's going!

Thank You, Michelle!!!! I am trying, and now I am motivated. So, we ALL know that motivation is the key thing!!!

One day at a time. It is hard to eat sensible sometimes, and then I get in that carb rut..... It seems so much easier & quicker to eat the wrong things!!! But, jerky & lunchmeat is just as quick... no preparation need for it!!! Yes, a little more expensive, BUT I AM WORTH the price!!!! I just need to keep that mindset.
