Okay, so I know this blog started off to track my weight loss journey with the unreasonable goal of losing 80 pounds in 80 day way back in March. While I have realized through this process that weight is not JUST about food and exercise, but rather includes the baggage we carry from our past, the stresses of the present, and how we habitually handle our frustrations and other emotions, I also realize the to get healthy in all areas, I need to put some effort and thought into my food choice. I recently put a ticker up on the top of the blog. It starts at my original weight when I started this blog. I updated it with a weigh in this morning.
So what I have I been doing to assist with the weight loss over the past few week?
well, first I have been making sure that I eat at least 7 servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
Secondly, I have been eating soup (60 calories) or broth (10 calories) as a snack instead of something more calorie dense, and the warmth of soup really makes you feel full and satisfied.
Thirdly I have been trying to drink at least 3 liters of water a day (one through the morning, one through the after noon and one through the evening.
In the last 2 weeks I have lost 4 pounds. Which given the holiday foods and the munching that I have been doing is pretty good....I will try to get better about doing a weekly weight tracker.
