Lose weight the fun way.

Posted on February 25, 2016

So yesterday I worked 8-4 then 530-930 in between I stopped and got a big salad from the shawarma place with chicken on it. Delish! My family didn't know I was having that so they saved me chinese food - my favourite too - and when I got home I totally would have eaten it usually - but this time I DIDN'T!!! I felt so great. Didn't get up for the gym this morning, after that long day I am not going to kill myself, I really needed that hour extra to sleep. Thinking I'll go after work because my daughter found a nice quick health taco chili receipe she's offered to make for dinner so I don't have to cook. :) that makes me smile today :) lol

Question for you all. How often should I weigh myself? Do others do it daily? Weekly?

I think it really depends upon your personality. I weigh daily but am always aware that there are salt & hormone & water fluctuations that might cause drops & gains and so I just keep a mental note and don't worry about gaining one day, knowing it will go down over the long term. For some people seeing any gain at all is demoralizing and throws them off track into binge eating, so if you have that kind of worrying/obsessive personality then weekly is probably better.

Good job auntie lee lee! The hardest part of eating healthy and doing well for yourself is saying no to the food you love to say yes to! Proud of you!

Just need to replace the feel good food, with that will help you on your journey! Like fruits or 1 cup of vanilla ice cream. Ice cream tends to discourage people but vanilla ice cream is not high in calories and actually helps speed up your metabolism

I've made my own, frozen cherries with a bit of vanilla protein powder in my bullet mmmmmmm sweets isn't my issue though, its that dam Chinese food and OCCASIONS my kids & I are food centered, something good happens, we eat, something bad, we eat. lol we get together for everything and its all about food.
