So I'm starting the new year with some significant changes. This last year has been a real bitch. My dad passed away from cancer last month, and I gained weight from all the stress that was going on. That being said, it's not an excuse any longer. I need to focus on what I really want, and to keep that focus. So here's where I'm starting. Everyone has to start somewhere, so here goes the plunge. I'm weighing in at my highest ever, at 214. Yikes! Damn that was tough! LOL
I still like my butt and I have great boobs LOL Some things that really need to change though are my legs. When you study dance for twenty years, you tend to take your awesome body for granted. Well, not anymore. LOL I always had a large amt of muscle, and that's what I want to go back to. So areas I want to focus on:
More muscular legs, work on the thighs to tone up.
Decrease my tummy.
Whittle my waist.
Get my biceps and triceps defined.
Decrease the size of my butt.
My short term weight loss goal is to get under 200. I want my clothes to fit more loose, less tight.
I'm in the process of changing the things that I need to change so that I will see results. Diet is the first thing I'm overhauling. I'm committing to eating at home, taking charge of my own foods, instead of always thinking brian will cook. I'm increasing the veggies I eat. I just found a new food that I love; endame beans. I'm just popping them in the microwave and eating them straight with a tad bit of salt. It tends to decrease my cravings and keeps me full longer. What else? Smaller portions of food, and eating more frequently. I'm trying not to make too many changes, but at the same time, I really want to feel more energetic so I know I need to do this to see results. I also found my pedometer today, which is pretty coincidental since I haven't seen it in over a year. LOL I'm going to work on a daily basis of trying to get the numbers up. I put it on a couple of hours ago and so far I'm at 649. really low, but at least I know where I'm at!
Food Journal so far.
Breakfast: two cups of coffee (hazelnut belgian in hot milk) and a english muffin made with one egg, a piece of low sodium ham, and a piece of cheese.
Supplements: GRN Vitapower packet (includes four vitamins) and two colon green capsules by Futurebiotics.
Lunch: Chicken sandwich on a bun with lettuce, ketchup, and soy mayo. water-12 oz.
Snack: two tangerines. 12 oz water.
So far so good. My thought is if I have to put in here what I eat every day, I'll be more inclined
to eat healthier foods. I'm in the process of planning out my dinner right now!
Wish me luck.....
