Grocery Shopping and what not…

I did really well at the super market tonight. I thought it was going to be weird reading all of the labels for carbohydrates and cholesterol but once I got around that nervous feeling, I picked up some really tasty things. I’m loaded up with yogurt, crystal light (of course) and chicken breast that I’ll probably have baby grill up for me sometime over the course of the next few days so I have something to throw into my salads. I also went a little nuts on fruit but there’s really nothing wrong there. Apples, Peaches, Strawberries, Watermelon, Bananas, nothing in that list could really do any harm. So I’m happy about that.

This is getting easier and easier every day. I really will reach my goal, I can feel it!

A few people have asked me what “get thin quick” scheme I was doing because I was talking about so many different programs I was interested in trying. My only response is “none of them”. Any one will tell you that starving yourself doesn’t work. If you eat a few times a day with a serious portion control hanging over your head, walk a few miles a day, and keep yourself active in general – you’re going to lose weight.

Baby and I have been walking a lot more, I’ve been eating better and in on Memorial Day Weekend, the private clubhouse for this complex will be open. They’ll not only have a pool but they’ve got a weight room as well. Considering the bulk of the people living in this community are more active during the day (most of them are…well…old) I’m sure that they’ll be no one in there at night to watch me work out. This is something I’ve felt embarrassed about for a while now, actually. It’s the whole self-esteem issue of growing up as “the fat girl” that plays a huge roll in this. There’s no room in the house for a treadmill so I’m going to have to suck it up and head down there. I’m sure once I’ve dropped a few more pounds I’ll be willing to do it during the day but for now, I’ll stick to my walk around the complex with Bella during the day and my faster pace walk on the boardwalk at night.

I tend to do better on the boardwalk than I do in the complex. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore get me into a pretty determined mindset to push myself to my limits and it works out quite well. I’ve lost approximately 12lbs in two weeks and I couldn’t ask for anything more.

  1. Its nice that you have lost 12lbs in two weeks but be careful since losing fat too fast may leave you with loose skin. I suggest you using an organic medicine called “Lida”, it makes you feel “full”, if you want to lose weight.
