I'm still going to stick to posting this - In the month of April I lost 3.6 lbs. Not as much as I hoped but it's a start I guess. I am able to tell that I have lost in the back of my legs since my jeans fit loser in that area but not a whole lot in my hips or waist yet (which of course is the parts that I hate the most). I have found that 30 minutes is hard to do since my time to walk is usually between 10:00-11:00 at night. I think I was on the treadmill 4-5 times a week but many nights not the full 30 minutes. I did what I had time and energy for I guess which is ok cause at least I did something. I've also tried to cut out snacking alot - especially at night. I rarely have anything to eat after the supper meal. And if I am really hungry at night that I need something I've been having a Popsicle to try and trick my stomach.
It looks like you're making progress, way to go!
ReplyDeleteRachel, here are just a couple of ideas that might help. I use these tactics since I don't really exercise anymore. Use a smaller plate at meals, so hopefully, you'll put less on your plate and therefore eat less. If you do want seconds, just wait five minutes after you finish your "firsts." A lot of times, you'll realize you're full anyway and won't eat seconds. For snacks, try to find healthy alternatives so that you can still snack - like homemade smoothies or yogurt parfaits or frozen grapes (anything with fruit, really).
ReplyDeleteSomething I do, especially at night when I think I want to snack: drink a glass of water. If you're still hungry after the water, eat something. If not, don't!
