Okay, so this past Monday marked the start of my Curves three month "Biggest Loser" contest. I totally would like to win, though just losing in general is most important to me. I'm trying to figure out what else I can be doing to help this weight go away, but still be totally healthy about it.
My meal plan kind of looks like this:
Breakast: oatmeal or cheerios with 1% milk and a banana
Lunch: Often times it is wasa crackers (2) with either a bit of 2% cheese or maybe a little jelly if I need something sweet. Sometimes a salad, using the salad spritzers as dressing (I love those things!), sometimes leftovers from the previous night's dinner.
Dinner: Can be anything, though I cook pretty healthily. Pasta using the Barillas omega 3 pastas, fish, chicken, turkey. Very little beef of any kind. Always a veggie and then maybe to go with it, brown rice, occasional baked potatoe, once a week, mac and cheese for the kids, again using the barilla and the light Velveeta cheese. I watch my portion size with this.
Evening snack: Always at least two hours before bedtime and usually a scoop or two (depending on time of the month) of fat free frozen yogurt or the 1/2 fat ice cream.
This meal plan varies a little bit but not much. Is there anything I need to change? Also, I do the Curves workout three times a week and I did walk a mile this week on one of my non-Curves days. But the other non-Curves day, it was cold and windy (and incidently, that was leading up to the buttload of snow we got today! Can you believe it was 75 degrees here on Tuesday?) and I just hate cold. I had considered trying out yoga, but don't know how well I'd do at my size and I worry about being in a class with little wafer thin girls.
Thanks for your feedback!
