I'm Back On Track

I'm back on track and it's a good thing! I don't like feeling like I've cheated on myself at the end of the day. It's not a good feeling.

Today I've eaten basic good healthy food and I'm back to my exercise routine.

Kid In The Candy Shoppe

Yeah! That's exactly what I felt like this evening as I was wandering through the fruit market. I now have a well stocked kitchen fit for any dieting princess. Cherries, nectarines, cantaloupe, and bananas! And a freezer filled with vegies in case I run out of something healthy in the fridge. I am thrilled to be exchanging these gorgeous fruits for all those junky potato chips and doritos I was eating.

I love fruits and vegies. I don't know why I ever started buying the junk food. It wasn't long after the junk food entered the house that the good foods slowly started disappearing from my cupboards.

I've been watching Biggest Loser reruns as part of my motivation. So I'm learning how to eat healthier and make healthier choices. I love that show!

What Diet To Choose?

I'm considering going on a regular diet plan, such as, weight watchers or nutrisystem. I have never done a planned diet before so I'm not sure what one will be best for me.

I like the setup of the weight watchers program. I know I can eat out at a few places with points on the menu so there is no real difficult decision making at meal time as far as that goes. Eating out is important to me because we travel quite a bit. Not only that, but I like to eat out.

I have watched the Jenny Craig commercials with Kirstie. It seems to have worked for her and it is working for Valerie Bertinelli. They both look great. But would it work for me? Dinner is in the freezer. Hm. Doesn't sound all that appealing to me.

I really like what Oprah suggested a long while back. Cut the bad carbs such as anything white or refined. I can live without rice and potatoes. I love fruits and vegetables, but I'm craving sweets right now. Maybe it is because I feel like I can't have it.

I need to do more research on diet plans. So far walking is working. My clothes are still fitting better. Maybe it won't take too long for me to be in a smaller size of big britches.

It's Time for Me to Get Up and Move

I'm fat and I know it. I can't help but know I'm fat. I fold my own laundry. I'm here to tell ya, you can't hide the facts from yourself when you fold your own laundry. lol It's so bad, I don't fold my undies. I stash them into a wad in the drawer so I don't have to hold them up and look at how big they really are.

I've been getting up and moving a little more here this past week. But I really want to commit to an exercise routine of some sort. I figure if I put it out there for the public to see I'll be more committed to the routine than I would be if I kept this all to myself. I don't want to talk to anyone in person about my weight, so this is my best option.

I have a goal, I want to lose 2 to 3 pounds a week. I want to do it with a healthy diet and exercise routine. I need to lose more than 75 pounds. I haven't decided on a final goal weight. After I lose 75 pounds I'll figure out if I want to lose more than that or not.

If you want to lose weight, post a comment. I think it would be great to have a support team with me on my journey to a healthy life.
