I am a firm believer in the "calories in calories out" principle. However, I also believe the quality of those calories makes a difference too. And I do not believe in fad diets (hcg-if it works for you great). But I don't go for it at all.
You would think since I have been diligent about exercise and recording my calories- and keeping them at the right amount to lose weight, that the pounds would just melt away. Guess what?? It isn't happening. I am losing about 1/2 a lb. a week. But since FEB. my low weight of the month has been the same. No change- well maybe one pound less now. I did lose 2 inches off my back/bust in 2 weeks, while no change in my waist and hips. So I know I am doing something right-since I did lose 2 inches. This is when you need to get a little help. Blood work. Testing. See your doctor and make sure you don't have thyroid problems or something. I have had those in the past; so I get my checked regularly. And this is when you need to shake things up, get some extra help, or try something new.
So I added 2 new tools -this week I fully intend to implement into my week:
Enter NO MORE TROUBLE ZONES. I researched many DVD's and found this one. Click HERE to see the reviews. I have Winsor Pilates. Do it a few times a week. I have all the Taebo ones. Do those too. I have quite a few workout videos but a new one was needed and this was very affordable at Target.
And I have several great cookbooks that I love (I'll share that later) for healthy eating, but this new one really got me excited about yummy healthy eating-plus I love Hungry Girl.
Now the only thing I need is a support group-a in real life support group would be the best-of course. :) People who are trying to lose weight from babies- and you don't count if you weigh under 150....and think you are fat. That is just ridiculous. and I used to be one of those people...pathetic.
So if you are a person who isn't one of those people - let's support each other!
I'm making my first recipes tomorrow from the cookbook. I'll be trying out the DVD in its entirety Monday.
Stay Tuned.... the journey continues.....
I'm right there with you! I need to lose about 60 lbs. I think I'm just stressed most of the time, and don't have a lot of times, so the less healthier alternative is just easier. Ugh!
