So I had some unfinished business that I felt I needed to get control of before I really started my weight loss journey. #1 on the list get everyone in our house sleeping in their own bed. For the most part #1 is accomplished. Honestly, I had a whole list of other things that I felt had to be done before I could really focus on me. But really, its time! I have got to lose some weight whether or not my walls are clean, or I have a month of dinners planned, or my kids have and are doing chore charts, etc. So here we go.
My plan is using this www.metabolicreset.com & this www.myfitnesspal.com I actually really like the protein shakes, they are very filling and I am hoping I will come to like the online tracking tool. Merri says it is like facebook for fatties. That sounds like something I can totally get on board with!
So after a big grocery trip today (I'm sorry but it is a lie that it is cheaper to eat healthier, it is totally cheaper to buy a package of hot dogs and buns than turkey burger and fresh produce!) I am stocked up on healthy foods and ready to go. Tonight I plan on informing my husband that I need one hour a day to MYSELF to exercise.
MY GOAL: Honestly, my goal at first it to just do it. I usually make the mistake of setting some huge weight loss goal and then get super discouraged when I don't meet it. So I'm not even going to weigh myself for the next two weeks all that matters is that I stick to my caloric intake and exercise, that it. So here I go, wish my luck!
So, I REALLY want to know if those shakes work. I am getting a little desperate bc I feel like I am actually TRYING now and still nothing (when I was stuffing my face with junk every chance I got at least I knew why it wasnt working) so it is getting a little bit annoying (ok. A LOT annoying). So, let me know if they work and how much they cost....I am definately intrigued!
ReplyDeletePS...I am totally with ya on the grocery thing...I swear I would be a lot cheaper if I could only buy the good/organic/expensive food (in fact, one of Jillian Michaels big things is that all chemicals and hormones in our foods is one the reasons we are getting fatter!)
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of doing a post (rant) about that very topic...how good for you foods are WAY more expensive.
PPS...I just did a search and it looks like they sell those shakes at whole foods here...maybe I will have to give em a try.
ReplyDeleteWay to go, both of you! Jamie I am way impressed with the sleeping thing.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that it's more expensive and the healthy stuff goes bad faster too!! Anyway! Good Luck to the both of you. I like the protein shakes too. Before baby number six it was my breakfast every morning. A banana, scoop of peanut butter, protein powder, water, and ice. It ends up being about 300-350 calories but it would keep me full for so long I wouldn't need a mid-morning snack.
