What Am I Thinking?

Filed Under 30 Days Lowfat, goals, journal | Leave a Comment

I don’t know what is wrong with me, I get motivated and then I blow it. I realized last night that I am self sabotaging. It’s time to stop that and stop it right now. I’m getting breakfast from Hardee’s and that’s it on blowing the lowfat diet until the 30 days are up on February 14th. Valentine’s Day, Be good to my heart. I worry about my heart a lot, sometimes it just doesn’t feel right. And I know it’s the fat built up around it.

I love it when on Biggest Loser, the contestants say that they no longer have high blood pressure or diabetes. I want to be able to say that. I think I will start another entry on here with very specific goals. I’m going to use this blog and really get down to business. Yesterday, I was thinking I have a very bad habit of not finishing things. Even when washing dishes, most times I never finish, I’m always within just a handful of finishing. So today I begin the day of really accomplishing things and finishing things.

My immediate goal is to get down to 275 by February 1st. I did do WATP, the 3 minute mini walk, and 6 chair get ups yesterday. I will continue this as long as it doesn’t affect my ms.

My Mind’s Getting There

Filed Under 30 Days Lowfat | Leave a Comment

I am so happy. Since starting the 30 day lowfat challenge, my focus is changing. I am thinking eating healthy now. No, I haven’t been perfect, but I am thinking a lot about what I am doing now. While cutting out coupons last night, I was so surprised how my mind is thinking lowfat turkey sausage, lowfat everything. I believe I will make it this time. I don’t want to spend weeks eating lowfat and not losing anything, so to prevent any regrets, I started fitday yesterday. I haven’t logged today, but I will continue it again, probably just wait and start on Monday.

Continuing to Go Low Fat

Filed Under 30 Days Lowfat | Leave a Comment

Yesterday, I didn’t do so well. I had a double beef burrito and a crunchy taco from Taco Bell. The rest of the day I did pretty well fat-wise, I think. And since I’m not really sure today I started logging on Fitday. I really am determined to lose weight, so I am almost afraid to take any chances of the unknown.

So I looked up lowfat diet to get more information. And this is what I found out:

Can a lowfat diet be heart healthy? Yes, but not in a vacuum. Cutting total fat intake must also be in line with cutting overall calories (yes, that’s the catch), and increasing physical activity. Living this way has helped many people lose weight and improve their lipid profiles. Taken from http://lowfatcooking.about.com/od/healthandfitness/a/whyeatlowfat.htm

So today I am logging onto Fitday so I know exactly what I did, calorie wise and fat gram wise.

30 Days The Lowfat Way

Filed Under 30 Days Lowfat | Leave a Comment

Yesterday, Marva and I decided on a thirty day challenge. I was impressed while watching Biggest Loser when one of the contestants said she was going to lose as much weight as she could in 30 days. I thought “30 days isn’t very long, I bet I could do that.” After talking to Marva, about how it disturbed me what excess fat can do to a body, she and I agreed to do 30 days of lowfat and see how much we can eat.

So yesterday I did great. If I were counting calories or points I would be over my limit. But fatwise, I would say I did great. The only thing I had yesterday that was high fat was a Double Stack Burger from Wendy’s. I had ordered the chili for me and the burger for Douglas. He was asleep when we got home, so instead of wasting it, I saved the chili for my lunch today and ate the burger last night.

Starting Weight for this challenge: 280.4
