Today is my first day implementing my no escalators, no elevators rule. I’m going to walk up and down EVERY set of stairs that comes my way!
I’m finding that in the mornings when I wake up, I have NO appetite. That’s unusual for me. I usually wake up hungry if I didn’t binge the previous day, and I love breakfast. Either it’s this virus (which I think is finally on it’s way out!!), or the pill (I’ve heard that decreased appetite can be a side effect). I am making an effort to choke down atleast a little bit of protein and a peice of fruit, but some days, I could seriously throw up.
Slow and steady is very hard for me, mainly because I need a new wardrobe, since I have very few clothes that actually fit, and I don’t want to spend a lot on items that won’t even fit me in a few months. Can you tell that I want 10-20 gone NOW? But I know that slow and steady is the only way that I can do it if I’m going to be healthy about it, and maintain it in the end. I found a reminder that I like. “Don’t give up…and remember…it’s better then gaining weight!” So true!
In terms of meals, I’m trying to stick to one ‘processed’ carb per day (i.e., bread or pasta. Rice or baked potato don’t count.). I’m doing it because I usually feel bloated and big if I eat any more then one. Lean protein seems to agree with my stomach best. Today that carb is the lunch that DB made me on Sunday, fish with noodleys. Yum!
Have a great day!
