Last week, I said I would fix this scale going in the wrong direction issue. I said I would at least ride the stationary bike. Then I got sick. So sick with little kid crude. So since I knew working out wasn’t going to happen, I decided to watch was I was eating better. I know I had slipped in this area … mostly in more sweets and less activity. So watching what I was eating did help and I was down three pounds. Now I am about 5 lbs off from where I was in January and then from that another 15 from low last summer. The problem last year was I stopped losing weight and my clothes kept fitting. I want … need to fit in those summer clothes again so here is the resolve to get back down and then to the past where I got stuck last year. So while I got my body shape to change some last year, now I need to get the scale to move. Hopefully I can find a way to do that this year because so far I have been pretty stuck in what I can stay committed to do.
And the question of the week …
How would you like to alter your family’s nutrition and eating habits? Do you have a plan to do this?
We meal plan monthly. You can see the meal plan for April HERE. This has really helped us stay on track. Plus the summer garden will go in soon. (The seeds were planted in the starter area last night.) Then there is the CSA we are members of … we have hopes for lots of veggies this summer.
I am sorry things have been so rough for you. I hope things get better. I am glad you are back. Times like these are when you need your sistas the most. Lean on us for the strength that is what we are here for 🙂
I started Weight Watchers about a month ago. One of the suggestions I found there was to include veggies in more of my main dishes. Make a reduced calorie Mac & Cheese and add spinach to it. Make large courses of veggies and have the protein as the smaller item.
You know what? Good for YOU for realizing you weren't going to be able to exercise, and making other adjustments. And you lost! Congratulations!
it's hard to balance it all – from one "work outside the home full time mom " to another. plus we are balancing school too and it's hard… I'm proud of you for recognizing where you are, where you want to be, and how you plan to get there. I know you'll find a way to make it all work! Hang in there 🙂
I so hear you – my work last time around completely kicked me out of the good and fit saddle.
So what do we do? Get up. Shake it off. Move on
Have a great week
good luck with your goals this week and i know things get touch when your sick hope you feel better
