Here we are on day #2 of this healthier life and I am already having cravings. I feel like most people jump in head first and are super motivated. This mama is NOT feeling that way! LOL! I am craving a crispy chicken sandwich and ice cream... UGH! I will get past it, I know. TV commercials are the devil and my kids make it so much harder... I want a rice crispy treat. I want toast with butter or a baked potato with my dinner. Willpower, willpower, willpower! That is what I am trying to remind myself. I do not want to force everyone in our house to make the same choices as I am. I need to lose weight, not anybody else. Eating healthy is one thing, but eating less of many products in hopes to lose is another.
So yesterday morning I started off with a glass of water with lemon. And as much as I would like to say that I will continue to do that every single day, I cannot promise that because once vacation is over and I am back at work then that may change. Also, I made a breakfast taco. Which I would like to remind those hardcore dieters out there that I am NOT following a regimen of any kind. So please do not pass judgment. I am only making healthier choices. I use sausage with 2 eggs and topped it with a tad bit of cheese. However, I did not use a regular tortilla, I used a spinach tortilla, and it was GROSS! I do not recommend them at all! I would rather not use any at all then buy another pack of them.
Lunch and dinner yesterday were great though. I had a salad for lunch and sausage for dinner. With greens and another salad. I worried about food going bad when I did my big grocery shop, but now I worry about running out of food before I am able to go to the store again. It is damn expensive to eat healthily. Which is probably why half of the world is fat or obese. I do have a goal to not waste any of it. I bought it and I will use it. That alone is keeping me from binging because I have spent so much on this healthy food that I cannot afford to go and splurge on crap LOL! If anyone tried to tell you that it is a choice and you cant eat healthy cheap, their lying to you. Now you can do it on a budget. You can make it work, but it is not cheap.
Okay, I weighed and measured myself to see where I am at. As I said yesterday, I am 192 lbs. (of beauty, my husband says <3) and no that did not change overnight, but I will not be checking the scale regularly. I have lost that battle many a times before and again I refuse to put myself through any suffering this time around. So I am 45 inches around at the waist and bust. Trust me when I say that I am quite shocked that those numbers are the same. I am 17 inches around in the arms and 29 for the thighs. Let's see if those numbers change over time. If ya'll want to leave any comments below about how you are doing or if your bold enough, your measurements even. NO JUDGEMENT is passed through this blog, I can assure you. Okay ladies, over and out.

This comment is to correspond with your youTube of your blog. It is wise that you don't make yourself do diet things you have tried before and hated. That will make you fall back to eating bad again. Keep up the good work. You got this!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more!

ReplyDeleteSmall steps that you can keep as part of your lifestyle! I laughed out loud when you said spinach tortillas are gross. Small steps sweetie! Big hugs!
ReplyDeleteHa ha!! Thanks, I sure am trying lol 😊
DeleteYou can do small things that are changed in the whole families diet. No one needs to diet, not even you. But everyone can learn how to eat healthier. Even the children. Make small changes. You want a baked potato, have one every once in awhile for dinner, but watch what you eat for breakfast and lunch that day. Don’t completely cut yourself off from those cravings, you’ll crash and burn. Haha! Want ice cream, find a reasonable alternative. You got this and can succeed!
ReplyDeleteYou know I thought about trying a homemade icecream of some sort. Maybe blending fruits with Greek yogurt. And Stevie for a bit of sweet. Too it off with some granola possibly. YUM!
