D is for…

Note: Always consult a doctor before starting any exercise or major diet plan.

Diet do’s and don’ts ( tips on how I plan to lose the 40 lbs I gained in the past 5 years.)

Caffeine was a big one for me to give up. I drank alot of soda.  It only took a few days of painful headaches to kick. I switched to diet weight watchers soda for the taste.It has no caffeine and no sugars, no calories or fat.  I’ve cut back on that, now I drink more water ( fruit 2.0) . I’ve lost 13 lbs in a few weeks with just kicking my caffeine habit. I’ve always ate fruit now I eat more instead of chips when I watch tv at crochet at night.

I haven’t stopped eating what I love , I just stopped eating so much. I have more salads.. with romaine lettuce and dressing with less calories.

We ( I ) eat less red meat .. well I cook less red meat . My hubby to be doesn’t seem to mind. He loves when I make chicken meatballs. 🙂

I even walk more. Now that its starting to warn up here. My hubby to be and I love to go hiking. We didn’t do much last year so I look forward to  making him get off his butt and away from his computer.

With less than 30 lbs to go to reach my goal, I believe I can do it.

So far so good- ish

My boyfriend doesn’t seen to know what the word no means. He is in no form following the 21 day challenge. At home I feed him the good stuff, but at work he can buy chips and soda, and whatever else he can get his hands on.

I am doing pretty good. I haven’t had any chips , or pastries,. but soda is my weakness. I have a bottle of water a day and a glass or 2 of soda. I seem to be addicted to caffeine.  I gave it up for 2 days and ! had a massive headache.

for snacks I either eat salads or an orange or popcorn(weight watchers) . Last night I bought a few Smart ones meals. 6 for $10 isn’t bad. I will be buying more. must make room in freezer first. 🙂 bye bye boyfriend’s ice cream!

oh and I can fit in to a pair of jeans I could fit into a few weeks ago!! yay me!!

The same old resolution

The diet….

My boyfriend and I both have committed in doing the 21 day challenge. I’m not in to cookies or other sweets as much as he is . But chips and soda might be hard for me to give up …. I do have flavored water and crackers so  I think I will be all good… Today was my first day.

Weekly updates will follow. 🙂
