These days a few have notice I’ve lost more weight. Why yes I have and it’s not been the easiest to do this late in my journey. About 2 months ago I felt like I was truck’n along on my health journey. All of the sudden I was caught in one of those crazy round abouts you come to at an intersection. I DO NOT like those things and Garland Texas is full of them. If you aren’t use to them you don’t know how to use them. My weight, body form, BMI and eating wasn’t where I wanted them to be. This called for thought and a plan so I could get off this round about.
I know what is right and wrong with my eating. Going back to my old ways of “oh this one piece of chocolate want hurt” yes it does and will get no results! Most people say it doesn’t hurt to treat yourself ever so often. The problem is I have a food addiction and the ever so often turns into a 3 to 5 week binge. I applaud anyone that can go on and off a plan without messing up. I’m not one of those people. Food is a drug to me and if I feed that need it becomes a living monster.
Recently someone said to me “if you sorta kinda do something you sorta kinda get results”. This remark stopped me dead in my tracks. It stopped me because it was what I was doing to wreck my plans to reach my goal. So I had to get back to the basics.
The basics of eating clean, planing my daily snacks and meals and amp up my works outs. I decided to see someone who could help me maneuver through my clouded path. If you are local and want her name please contact me in person. I haven’t got permission to use her information on my blog. I’m so pleased with my results so far. I’ve dropped 31lbs in 8 weeks. It was one of the easiest food plans. Although my food addiction fought it all the way. This monster will always live in me and try to conquer me when it gets the chance.
I thought I would share my meal plan. This is just a photo of my breakfast morning snack and lunch. My snack is 1 small apple and cucumber. The other is egg whites, blue berries and a half a tortilla for breakfast and for lunch 6oz of chicken, 1/2 cup of cauliflower rice and 1/2 a tortilla. I do get dinner and a late snack. It’s all about a choice. This meal sound so boring and most wouldn’t like it. I got use to it because I didn’t wanna sorta kinda anymore. Soon I will be on stabilizing my diet and maintaining my weight.
I’ve never been so over whelmed with a feeling of accomplishment. I wasn’t one of those people who we’re happy with how ever their body was. I tried for years to except what I had done to my body. I never, not even once found a place that it seemed okay. I hated the BPmeds, the heart issues and the pain. I wanted to be the me I knew I could be. I’ve made it almost to the top of that hill. What worked for me might not be best for you. I encourage you to take one day at a time, one meal at a time and above all move your butt. “This is my Iwatch, the read on the calories I burned just today. It’s my goal everyday to burn 800 calories I kinda did a little more. After all it is art camp week.
God bless you on what ever you want to restore in your life. Restoring life is more than furniture, weight and relationships it’s about prayer, your beliefs and faith. I planted my self in all three and turned out of that round about. We all have the power of choice to sit and or the power to get up and change our world. Talking about it doesn’t change it. We must act on it fully not kinda sorta.
