That's right. I said it. I'm on a mission. I started last Tuesday. The goal: 20 pounds by Spring Break. Steve and I have challenged each other to be healthier. So here we go. :)
These are the changes I have made:
-I have cut out fast food. (Which if you know me well, you know was 90 percent of my diet!)
-No more school lunches. (Because who knows what is in that stuff??)
-I am drinking mostly water. (Sometimes with a 5 calorie flavor packet...cause water is just gross sometimes.
-I am exercising. (Well, I have been slightly derailed from this part. I bruised a bone in my foot and it really really hurts!! Hopefully it will be well soon.)
So this is what I do:
For breakfast: Special K Red Berries with 2% milk. I can't handle anything less than that. It's just water.
For lunch: A microwave bowl of light soup, a yogurt, and water.
For dinner: A lean cuisine meal (or something similar) of some variety. I'm discovering the ones that taste like food and the ones that don't.
**I may or may not have a 100 calorie snack at some point during the day.
I have only strayed from this twice in almost 2 weeks. I had Sunday dinner at Mom's and lasagna with the O'Neills. And so far, 5 pounds of me are gone. I hope I can make it by Spring Break.....
I guess I have effectively put Sadie on a diet as well. She shows little to no interest in the food I am eating. (Even she knows it's not real food!!)
PS-I'm hungry! A cheeseburger and fries would be nice. :)

I'm doing "Biggest Loser" at work. I'm not making much headway, but am cutting down on soda (1 per day, 2 max, but only once or twice a week) and junk food. I'm also drinking more water, especially at work. I would love to get some exercising in, but so far I haven't found the time. You're doing better than me - good job, buddy!
ReplyDeleteDo you guys have spring break plans? You going up there?
ReplyDeleteC-I hope so. That was the original plan, but now I've been furloughed and they're taking the whole amount out at one time, so I'm not sure I can afford to fly up. Hopefully I'll be able to work it out.
