so the past 2 days have been a lot easier than I expected…i have started taking my son on hour long walks 2 times a day pushing him in his stroller… I also have reduced my portions by about 1/3 and making healthier food decisions… eating more vegetable and fruits and instead of 2 huge meals a day that average about 3000 calories i have been eating 6 small meals a day averaging about 16oo calories… I feel really good… i always spend so much time and effort on my family my son my step children and my husband and it feels so good to do something for myself that is positive… I want to start working out more like at a gym or something but i am so shy about going it alone… so for now i have ordered some work out dvds… that way i can workout at home in my comfort zone when I have time… also since i work overnights and get bored easily and usually snack all night i can work out and have some natural popcorn or a fruit…. I really hope I can stick this lifestyle change out because i know it will benefit me greatly…i already feel like i have more energy to enjoy life… my hubby took me out last night to a movie and dinner.. we went to olive garden and i usually get the chicken alfredo eat tons of bread sticks and dip them in extra alfredo sauce and have a chocolate cheesecake for dessert… last night i ordered some linguini noodles and red sauce…. i only ate half of it no bread sticks and i filled up on salad no croutons or cheese and a light vinigrette…. at the movie i had a diet soda and unbuttered unsalted popcorn and only ate 2 handfuls… the movie was great i was full and felt amazing about how i overcame the urge to pig out….. GO ME!!!
