So when I woke up a few weeks ago and was a weight I never wanted to be in my life I went straight to the gym and worked out for a solid hour. I came home and decided it was time to track everything I eat to be honest with myself and figure out what needed to go and what could stay. I found the livestrong.com My Plate application that is free and started instantly to figure out what to do. I gave the goal of 2lbs a week, figuring I would at least be able to get a pound a week and go from there. Well it's been a week and 3 days and I have lost 6 pounds. Of course I lost that 4 days in, but I have been holding steady and working hard. I am no longer taking a day off from working out - I work out at least 3 times a week for a solid hour or more, and the other 4 days are 30 minutes or more. I work at a pace that gives me slight pain, and keep that consistency up. The good news I am find is that I do not eat much sodium or foods with very much cholesterol. I get plenty of protein, but need to work on the fat grams. It's not too high, but being that I do not enjoy fish, chicken is my major source of protein. I am going to cook up some tofu this weekend and see how that goes. Maybe tofu tacos will be my new addiction - like turkey tacos are right now :o)
I'll keep you updated and give my little hints as I take a few more weeks to get this all figured out. I will say I am getting obsessive about this - good thing I use my addictive personality for good haha!
O and tomorrow I will be fingerprinted so that I can teach the financial ed classes to some kids from the Kyrene School District. Nice to know that they do a detailed background check on the people allowed to be around the kids on school property :O) Here's hoping I pass - I don't remember any nights in the clink. Here's hoping that wasn't a weird night I never remembered haha!
