Any special programs? Like SB, WW...? Is it working for you?
How do you eat? Do you follow a eating plan? If so, what? What rules do you have for yourself?
How often do you exercise? What do you do in terms of exercise? Walking/running/Gym?
----------------------------
For me, I am not following any specific plans. I am learning on how to eat better..sticking to foods that are GOOD for me. I don't eat a lot of junk, never have. The problem has always been with the foods that I *do* eat, it's a high calorie/high fat/processed easy foods. Not good. In the past few months, I've been incorporating a lot of fresh fruits and veggies into my life and I've gotten rid of processed things like box dinners (I cook from scratch now) and cookies/chips, ect. It's NEVER in my house anymore. What I've found to be helpful for me, is to stay in the outside isles in the grocery store and NOT spend a lot of time in the inside isles. It works wonders. I've also found that right when I get home from the grocery store (I buy a lot of fruits and veggies at Sams Club/in bulk), I chop and portion everything as soon as I get home. That way, it's easily accessible to me rather then when I'm really hungry, I won't have to wait or even make an excuse as to why I can't eat something healthy, kwim (know what I mean)? So it makes it easier for me. I do eat a good mix of the GOOD carbs in the early AM. It gets me pumped and I don't get hungry until lunch (sometimes I'll fit in a apple or something like that). I feel very satisfied after breakfast. I usually eat the regular oatmeal (I cook it myself) with some granola ontop or some fresh sliced up apples in it. Lunch is usually protein and veggies or a salad with chicken.
As far as exercise goes...I've been bad about that lately. I have belonged to a Gym (Ladies Workout Express..it's just like Curves) for a year now and only went for the first 2 or 3 weeks and stopped going. Life got busy and I made excuses as to why I couldn't put my hour in 4 days a week. I'm under contract so I've been paying $30 a month and have not been consistant. I'm mad at myself. What really burns me is that I LOVE it there. The women are great and I had GREAT workouts. I loved working on the yoga balls and the machines..and it worked! I felt good the next day (sore, but good) and felt really good about myself. I'm starting back tomorrow.
Sorry for such a long post.
