While I haven’t started my programme with full force, I am “practicing” to eat healthy. This will be my daily breakfast for the next 8 weeks (at least). It comprises honeydew melon, cantaloupe, fresh grapes, low-fat yogurt topping and sprinklings of cereal. Breakfast in bed anyone? Enjoy!
One of the things an individual must do prior to embarking on a serious weight loss programme, is to be honest to themselves. Nothing beats honesty. I will be buying a scale next week and stepping on one for the first time since 2006. I am even fearing what I may see, but I have to take the plunge and be harder on myself. I will even post my starting weight on this blog. My clothes size hasn’t changed but I feel changes in my body. My pants feel tight at the waist and crotch, my Capri pants are riding up between my legs….I can barely unhook my bra myself…these are the things that have made be proactive!
Another admission/confession I have to post here is that of my love for any and everything sweet. I could eat a whole cake and NOT touch the main course, unless it is macaroni and cheese or some pasta salad loaded with crap in it. Here are my following weaknesses:
- Unhealthy drinks (sodas, sweet drinks, unnatural fruit juices).
- Cakes (Cheesecake, brownies, etc)
- TGI Fridays I have a passion for this restaurant and nothing’s wrong with eating there….it’s just what you order. I pledge to order only salads from now on…..and will keep my visits to 2 (at most) over the next 8 weeks.
- Exercise – I have bought my pass to the Mona Dam since February….I haven’t made it once. My plan of action is to renew my gym membership and walk around the Dam twice weekly.
- Cigarettes – Enemy #1! I can’t seem to stop but I am hoping that with my new commitment to physical activity, I will be able to ditch these permanently.
This weekend is going to be my last weekend of eating and living like a slacker…..I have had enough! I have to start on Tuesday. One of the reasons that I have been procrastinating is because I hate cooking…just love eating. However I have decided to take it 8 weeks at a time. It’s no point trying to kill myself doing it. So, I plan to make a conscious effort with the preparation of meals. Instead of all the processed BS in the supermarket, I’ll opt for loads of fruits, raw vegetables and carbs, in the form of yam, green banana, sweet and Irish potatoes….and of course, the PROVERBIAL gym! Now the picture shown here is NOT me, but if I had let myself go, I probably could have made it to this size!
Nope….still haven’t signed up for the gym. In fact I have ven stopped drinking the yucky cucumber juice. I am so ashamed of myself. Hopefully after the Easter break I will be more motivated…..cya!
