I bought fresh pineapple, apples, grapes, strawberries and bananas...no cookies. I bought lean loin pork chops...no beef. We travel a lot with our job so today on the road we had Subway...hubby even opted for the Club rather than the tuna he usually gets...the tuna is not listed on their 6 fat grams and less list. Tonight we grilled the pork chops and I stir fried cabbage, onion, peppers and mushrooms...but used a tablespoon of olive oil...probably not a good choice...then the bad...I had several bite size Snickers! As soon as they are gone from the house, they will not be bought again!...it is so hard to do it all right off of the bat! But I am trying. I am 46 years old, 5' 3" tall and 130 pounds...according to BMI charts I am on target but don't fell good at this weight...my goal is to lose 20 pounds...I plan to start walking and would love, love, love to get a recumbent bike to use at home! I have an old eleptical machine that does not work right and actually hurts my knees more than it helps...so it is out. We have a Total Gym but I have joint issues and it is hard to use my hands and wrists to pull my weight along on that machine...so it is walking or nothing at this point...wish I had somebody close by that shared my passion for this. But at least I have made a decision to go with this...I am gonna try really hard! You guys pump me up!!!! |
All right Debbie!! Walking is great! I used to walk too and wished I had a walking buddy too. In the end, it was better that way. I could set my own pace, think things through, and even talk out loud if I wanted to.
C'Mon! We're here to cheer you on! And, for one another! Get psyched!!!
