I know I am horrible about keeping up with this blog. I am bad about it period! I'm still figuring out the whole blogging while dealing with kids thing!
Anyways, I have finally hit the 5lb mark!! 5.2 pounds down now. Yes!! I know what my problem is but I haven't found a way to fix it yet. First off, I munch a lot. While making the kids lunch, I was munching on chips in the process. I also need to cook more foods and eat less crap. However that requires grocery shopping which requires menu planning which requires time which I apparently have none!! I know, irritating but I have to figure it out if I'm going to succeed in this! I have to make this a priority!
I am doing Zumba regularly now. Every Tuesday and I love it! It's a lot of fun! My sister is going with me too and hopefully a friend will join us soon! I am not going to the gym but I really want to. I think I am going to try two nights a week and go from there. Hopefully I can make it work.
My biggest win? 9 weeks NO POP! None whatsoever! I'm pretty proud of that!
I will try to give an update every Thursday on my weightloss for the week. I give you permission to hound me to do so and to also make sure I am eating right, going to the gym, and still pop free! Hound away! You have my permission!! Thank you for being with me through this journey!
A tip I heard recently is to chew gum when cooking so we can't snack. Good job on the progress!
ReplyDeleteOoh, Rachel has a good tip. That would totally work for me. Because I'm a snacker, too, especially when I'm getting food ready. And it's not usually the peas or carrots that get popped into my mouth, either. Lol!
ReplyDeleteI am SO super proud of you on the pop thing. Honestly, that's amazing. You should be proud - you have done an amazing thing! Keep it up!
I don't know if this is something you struggle with, but one thing I found frustrating when I was on a big weight-loss kick a few years ago was that I had a hard time trying to reward myself for successes like this because I'm a food rewarder. Meaning I reward myself with treats like ice cream or cookies and milk. Totally not helpful when you're trying to lose weight.
So I came up with this idea to build myself a charm bracelet. I bought myself a chain and every time I reached a milestone I'd buy a new charm. Anyway, just thought I'd mention it in case you were looking for non-edible ways to reward yourself. Because rewarding yourself is part of the fun of sticking to your goals. Keep it up!
