Weekend

Doing great and then here’s the weekend. It’s bittersweet really, I’m so glad it’s the weekend but it’s harder to be good. I’m not at home this weekend so it makes it doubly hard. I have a hard time dining out. So far, I’ve lost 12 lbs so far since I started the reset/low GI eating. I haven’t started exercising yet, but plan to next week.

On the right track

Well, I’m done with the 5 day USANA reset program.  I’m feeling really well.  I haven’t had any sugar cravings like usual.  It’s actually pretty amazing.  I definitely recommend it to anyone that has problems with their sugar cravings and/or metabolism.   Plus I lost a few pounds.  I have started doing some walking.  I’m having problems with sciatica right now…so I’m taking it a little easy at first.  I only weigh in once a week, (on biggest loser tuesdays =).  So I will post then to update my weight.

Now I’m trying to follow Jillian Michael’s “Master Your Metabolism” program.  It’s pretty easy to follow.  She does suggest eating as much organic as possible.  Which is hard for me, b/c I live in rural Oklahoma.  That just means I’ll have to go to OK City more, yea! :)

I’ve been hearing everywhere that the best diet for PCOS (which I have), is low glycemic.  So that’s what I’m trying to focus on.  Jillian’s book is basically just that.  So I feel like I’m finally on the right track. Have a great weekend all.

Reset

So, I am 4 days into the reset program by USANA and I am feeling great. It’s basically like this: shakes for all 3 meals, 2 snack bars, and 1 serving of fruit and 1
serving of veggies per day. And it is 5 days long. So…only one more day! It is supposed to help end your surgar cravings, stabilize your blood sugar, and “reset” your metabolism. *** as long as you continue eating well after, of course.
It’s surprising…I haven’t really been hungry, I’ve felt pretty good, and most importantly…I haven’t been having the sugar cravings, which is my weak spot. Now I just need to prepar
for days 6 and beyond. I feel overwhelmed with all the information out there. But I also feel that I’m really close to getting it. Like all this information is swirling around me and I just need to organize it, stick with it, and it (I) will be a success =)

Hello world!

Hello everyone! I’m so tired of dieting. Aren’t you?!?! I’m a sugarholic and I’m trying to reset my body and my life.  I want to end these cravings and start being in control of my body.  I want to do it by changing my lifestyle, NOT dieting.  I’m 5′4 and weigh 270lbs.  I’ve been ‘big’ since childhood.  I remember the first diet I went on when I was 11 years old!  I’m super muscular, so my ultimate goal weight is prolly around 160lbs.  I have a long road ahead of me, but I have hope and faith that I will reach my goals.  One of my goals is to have children.  I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and my doctor says the best way for me to get pregnant is to lose at least 50 lbs.  I’m married to a great guy, the love of my life.  But we enable each other in a bad way.  Getting him on board is crucial to my success.  So, in short, those are my goals: reset my body and life, lose at least 50 lbs, have children, motivate my husband, and create awareness about PCOS.  Wish me luck!
