hey lets all join in with Petra. and vow to lose 20 lbs in 4 months thats our goal.. not the 30, 40 or 50 we really wanna lose.... but just 20 for now... we can do it! we have the power!
ya know I was looking through my vast collection of diet books "dont eat fat", "eat fat dont eat carbs" yadda yadda yadda... and I think in a nutshell it all boils down to
TIME.. ya gotta take the time to prepare and plan your meals.. most of us falter when we are in a situation where we are
hungryand we want something to eat..... food... anything.. whatever is there.. so I think what we really need to do is plan ahead and have good choices available...
for me the big thing has been being lazy & broke and a cheeseburger at McD's is like 99 cents I can grab a piece of fried chicken for 1.98
but I had an epiphany yesterday...
as I sat eating my lunch of a granny smith apple,
a lovely sandwich of turkey,
fancy baby lettuce,
sugar free bread & butter pickles,
brown mustard and
tomato... on 2 very thin slices of whole wheat multi grain bread
then topped it off with a sugar free jello cup...
my thought was ... man that tasted good!
cant say that for my previous lunch choice... the difference was that I had to take the time the night before and make the sammich...pack my lunch
ok ... so thats 20 lbs (or more) in 4 months the challenge is on..... haha
lets call it the
20 for now! challenge
