Yep.. maybe this time! I do have some motivation though. I have not seen my family in the UK in 8 years and I am due to go back there early this year. I have always been the 115lber skinny one of the family.. well not anymore. I am a shocking 177lbs today. So "maybe this time" I can actually do it after many 2 day false starts!
I am 34, mom to 4 kids. 17yr old and 13yr old girls, 10 yr old boy and a huge surprise in the form of a 10 mth old baby girl!
Needless to say, the surprise pregnancy later on in my life after I thought I was done with kids gave me a great excuse to pack on the pounds.. and now I actually weigh the exact same as I did the day after I gave birth, not exactly where I want to be!
My goal weight is 125lbs, so a whopping 50 or so to shed.
I know where it comes from, I can eat enough food in one sitting to feed my whole family, and some more. Plus I snack all day long. I am now a SAHM, so making a dent in the sofa with my butt all day long is very easy to do and a hard habit to break.
Ok, so.. here we go!
I don't do breakfast, at least for now. Can't face it, never have been able to. Maybe I can find a good shake or something to make up for it.
Lunch - a grilled chicken breast with brocc.
Mid afternoon - small bowl of Rice Krispies with a touch of 2% milk, 2 slices of wheat bread with half a cheese triangle thingie.
Sometimes I will nap mid afternoon when the baby goes to sleep and whenever I wake I am hungry like a beast, I have to try and break that habit.
I also ran for 10 minutes, which I realised was a little much for me. 10 minutes with half the way totally uphill, plus a stroller, plus dragging the poor dog.. what a sight I must have looked!
I think tomorrow I will do twice the distance but at a fast walk until I feel I can run without dying.
I planned on going for a fast walk this afternonn but have had a raging headache since my near death run this morning.
I plan curry for dinner. Chicken, curry sauce and rice. I will keep my portion of rice very small, lots of chicken with just a touch of sauce.
