Ebony, you are so right, planning meals and snacks beforehand always helped my keep on track. Since I'm in the process of finding a job, I've honestly gotten even LAZIER at planning meals because I take advantage of the fact that I'm in my apartment all day. So instead of planning, I just whip something up when it comes time to eat, and usually when that's the case I tend to choose things that are easy to make and are essentially not the best choices.
Kera, thank you so much for referring us to Loseit.com! Including you and me, two other friends have joined! And you're absolutely right, I have to post my goals. So ladies here are my goals for 2012, the happier, healthier me:
(I don't have a working scale in Ohio but three days ago I weighed myself in El Paso- new scale will be purchased today)
In El Paso I weighed (in the morning) 150.4 lbs!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEK!
My goal right now is to lose just 10 lbs. Ultimately I would like my weight to fluctuate between 130-135, however, that's freaking 20 lbs to lose and that's disheartening!!! So a 10 lb loss would make a world of difference.:)
I have two amazing dresses that are so ridiculously tight on my hips that they are impossible to wear. I will post a picture of both. The purple is a Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent in size Medium. It fits above the waist but on my hips it looks like the poor seams are about to burst! The beige dress is Sue Wong, the beading is so intricate and it's just gorgeous, this dress won't even zip up let alone go over my hips and it's a size 6 (but reviews of the dress did warn that it runs small- I didn't read that until the damn dress was already purchased).
I'm on my way! Today I made 1/2 cup oatmeal with less than a teaspoon of brown sugar to taste, half a small apple chopped, strawberries chopped & less than 10 walnuts crushed. Microwaved in water.
How have you been doing?
Those dresses are fabulous! You will fit into them in no time! I am happy to see your goal is 10lbs for now. It is a good SMART goal! What are you doing as far as daily exercise?
