The Magic Number
posted in The Daily Diet byIt has been three months since we have started our blog about our journey to lose weight and remain healthy. I did loose weight early on, four pounds. The good news is that I have kept those four pounds off. Four seems to be the magic number with my daughter and I. Do I want to loose the remaining six pounds that I had set as a goal? Yes, I do. Do I have a number of reasons why I have not moved forward? Yes, I do. Do I still have the right attitude and belief system? Well, after careful examination, I have decided that my desire is not as strong as it was when I started. Is this because I believe that my eating habits are generally very good to begin with and that perhaps my body does not want to or need to shed any more weight? Or do I just enjoy eating a diverse diet? Or, did I lack a firm plan to start with? If I am being totally honest, I would say that I enjoy eating and I also lacked a firm plan. So, how do I go about getting back to my original goal? I am not someone who will use a support system. I have to do it on my own. Thats just the way I am. So, this is what I’m going to do.
- Monday thru Friday-Walk 6am (living in the desert in the summer this is the only time to walk)
- Monday thru Friday - Pool 5pm
- Monday thru Friday - Cinch for Breakfast
- Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays - Cinch for Lunch
- Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday - Lunch should include at least one day out and the remaining three should be healthy planned lunchs at home.
Dinners are a bit more complicated. We are invited out or have guests in at least 3-4 times a month. My husband loves his meat and isn’t ready to give it up. He also likes to cook. So what’s a girl to do? It for sure that I will be exercising portion control. Ok, time to set up my calendar with my plan.
