Weight is Going Down
June 6th 2007 14:00
HI-My weight is going down! I stepped on the scale this morning and finally I am down a couple of pounds. How did I do it? Well, a couple of things.
1) I heard Oprah say, it is straight physics. Energy in Energy out. Burn more than you eat and you will lose weight, simple. ok.....
2)..so I upped my exercise routine. My goal is to do 60 mins on the treadmill 5 days a week.
3) I started counting calories and I realized that I was really fooling myself! The first day I counted the calories that I had already consumed for the day, I counted over 1800 calories. Mind you that was about 2 to 3 times less than what I usually eat. I was stunned. I thought I had eaten sooooo little that day. Yes, I had eaten little, compared to what I usually eat!
4) I go for the fruits and vegetables first. I went to my mom's house on the weekend and poor thing, she was expecting 20 people and she cooked for about 60 (as usual) and then she had about 16 guests, 6 of whom came late. So there was alot of food. What did I eat?
A full plate of raw vegetables. After which I was too full to eat much. You know how long raw veggies take to eat...Then I had a little chow mein. Later on I had a fruit and a small tart and that was about it. Then my mom sent a box of food home with me and I usually feel pressured to eat alot so the food doesn't go to waste. Not this time. I'll eat what I should and if the food spoils before I get to it, oh well.
I already threw out a bag of veggies and a bowl of macaroni salad. Oh well, I am not putting that on my body!
5) I have been listening to a subliminal tape for weightloss and it has helped me to make and stick to this plan. I am doing well and I have more than 50 lbs to go, but I finally feel like I can make it. Phew
LO-My daughter is having some friend issues at school and I feel so sad that she has to be sad. I'm such a mom! Who wants their child to be hurt? Anyway, I think I was able to give some good and practical advice. "Don't let other people take your power....don't let others determine how you feel, what you do and who you talk to....we are always acting out of fear. Stop and ask yourself what are you afraid of? Then know that you are bigger than your fears...blah...blah....blah.. ..I can't wait to hear how her day went.
uh...If I only had had someone to talk to me like this when I was 14!
