It's what I've named my goal chart/food journal. I finally made one. I decided that 3lbs a week is highly obtainable and have made a chart from Today through April 31st. On that date if I reach my goal I will be 200lbs. I decided to keep track of my caloric intake. I'm not so worried about writing down what foods I eat, just how many calories. Just so we're all clear, I'm not eating junk. I'm way into wraps, tofu, vegetables and fruits right now. I even made healthy-ish ice cream cone cupcakes for my birthday a few days ago. Instead of eggs I used pureed prunes and I also put pureed blueberries and spinach in them. No one could tell. The prunes kind of stuck out just a bit, but no one knew what it was, just that there was SOMETHING in them. I thought it was pretty good, actually. And I didn't feel guilty eating one. That doesn't mean I don't eat full on desserts. I shared a very small piece of a chocolate mouse mini-cake, that my bosses gave me for my birthday, with the kiddo. I decided that the whole thing is about 450 calories so 1/8 was only about 56 calories and totally acceptable since I'd only had about 1200 calories at that point yesterday. I'm trying to stay at 1400 or below. So far so good. I've worked off about 10lbs in the last two weeks. THANK GOODNESS. I was feeling pretty disgusting. I'm still not thrilled about where I am, but at least I feel better.
On days that I can't make it to curves I've been running for at least 20 minutes on an elliptical or working-out along with a video OR going on walks and jumping rope. I really like jumping rope :o)
I also want to buy rollerblades or skates soon. I live on a really nasty hill though, so I may have to stake around the lake or find some path so I don't kill myself!
