I am celebrating my first month of a successful switch to lifestyle changes in the areas of fitness and nutrition, and I wanted to share with you some work I did comparing and contrasting before I started weight loss and the first month after.
If you please, give it a look-through and share your thoughts, and a question I have for you is that I need ideas on how to reward myself for accomplishing my goals. That is not something I've worked out because my reward has always been unhealthy food or alcohol, two things I am avoiding at the moment. Thank you! Fit 2 B Me: An Empowering First Month Week 4 pounds lost: 14.6 Pounds left to lose: 81.4 Mental/Emotional Check-in: How do I feel? PROUD, empowered, inspired, motivated About Me: Then and Now Past eating habits: Eat once a day, constant snacking, frequent fast food, junkfood binges, lots of soda Current eating habits: Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner; increased veggies and fruit, decreased bread, soda, meat, and alcohol; eat salads at lunch and dinner, daily protein shake, limit to 300 calories when I eat out, smaller portions Past exercise: Little to none Current exercise: 60+ minutes at the gym, increased walking Obstacles (my current issues and possible solutions): Increasing water: Chart it, make it a priority, drink as often as I can Don't feel like exercising: Just do it, I feel better afterwards, eyes on the prize Love/Hate relationship with the treadmill: I work up a sweat the best on the treadmill Get bored with the gym: Make it a routine, use different machines, opt for the pool Staying motivated: It's a lifestyle change, in it for the long run, read 100 Days of Weight Loss Depressed?: Push self to exercise--I will feel better, gets energy out, read 100 Days of Weight Loss People and resources (for support) Grandparents, my friend Joseph, my T, PsychCentral, Kaiser: Weight loss classes and support group, food journal, 100 Days Book/Self-help/Health books, Gym--classes, machines, pool and spa, bike, music, parks Plan of Action Water goals At Starbucks, opt for chai tea or other tea Eating out, opt for water or tea Opt for caffeinated water over coffee Keep a water bottle on hand and in car Drink tea nightly Fitness Goals 60+ minutes at gym...2 hours IF I have time and energy Increase 5 minutes on cardio each week Attend a fitness class IF I have time and energy Nutrition Goals Eat healthy snacks throughout the day Limit protein shakes/bars: keeps me full but stores fat Prepare meals ahead of time before going out--saves money and healthier than eating out Reasons to Stay Motivated (in short) Mamma and Papa have already noticed a difference! I miss my hip bones I miss being a size 3 But most importantly... I want to be PROUD of my body! |

I love triathlon suits. You can probably still fit into ones at normal store, but junonia dot com - for fat ladies - sometimes has the small-to-us sizes (like 14) on sale for ridic low prices.
I love eating breakfast! Not making that decision every day is amazing!. |
