Changing my diet has been really hard for me. After all, its bad eating habits that got me here, right? I have been able to change my habits during the week and have been eating pretty well at work and in the evenings. I eat a good breakfast and a decent lunch (most days) and make some yummy WW things for dinner usually. I've tried a lot of great recipes on WW. Its great how they have so many recipes and resources for recipes. I haven't really had to adjust my cooking that much, just mostly including more veggies, less carbs and eating smaller portions. But I'm still able to cook all my favorite things, tacos, chili, lasagna, etc. Speak of which, here are some awesome recipes I've tried since my last post:
Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies
Tex Mex Chicken
Beef and Vegetable Casserole
Mini Italian Meatloves with Penne and Sauteed Zucchini
Cheesy ChiliMac
Cheesy Chicken Shells
When I first started I had a lot of momentum and was really committed. Since then, I've lost a little momentum and I've had some bad slacking off days for sure. It just seems like life gets in the way sometimes, eating wise and exercise wise. Also, I feel myself fighting (with myself) pretty often lately. I need to get in control! I've also been slacking on working out which I need to get better about.
But anyway, taking a note from my good friend, Jenn, lets focus on the positives!
So, 8 weeks in and:
- I'm down 8lbs, which averages out to 1lb/week, that's a decent weight loss
- I have been getting exercise most days, either taking a walk or going to the gym
- My clothes are definitely getting too big, a few pairs of pants had to be retired already because they are way too big
- Clothes one size smaller are actually starting to fit
- I've increased my fruit/veggie intake by a lot
- I'm learning to cook better and make better food choices
