So because my husband is leaving for 45 days I have figured that I would hit the diet hard and try to be twenty/twenty five pounds lighter when he comes home. That's actually my goal weight.
I have already lost twenty pounds and have maintained that for six months but now I am ready to jump on the diet band wagon again and try to stay away from the ice cream for the next couple weeks.
Oh and this is a task. Because Ryan doesn't nap anymore it is so hard for me to find time for work out. But I have figured out a couple things that might help. And they might just help you too : )
- First thing is just walking in place in my living room when Ryan is busy playing without needing my help or attention. Even if it is just for five minutes at a time. This is how I lost the first twenty pounds because I just took it an hour at a time and tried to walk for ten minutes every time I got the chance.
- Writing EVERYTHING down! For me it is easier because it shows me really how much I am eating. Even writing down the handful of popcorn that I mindlessly eat while watching The Biggest Loser.
- Taking it one day at a time. Because if not I get so overwhelmed with what I ate yesterday or will eat tomorrow. And I am not one of those people who can plan out their meals because if I am suppose to eat Subway and just don't want it I won't eat it.
- Letting myself have an eating day once every two weeks. Because if not I will go insane!
- Hanging up the clothes that I want to get into and picturing how cute I will look in them : )
- Drinking more water. In the afternoon after I have done all my running around.
- Knowing that once I reach my goal I will not only be healthier but feel so much better about myself. I might even do that self portrait that Brandi wants everyone to do : )
So cross your fingers and wish me luck.
Do you have any other weight loss tips? If so I would LOVE to hear them!
