Mr. Husband decided that we will take that much needed vacation in September after all. So now this means new weight loss goals especially since vacation equals all day in a bikini for a week! Yikes! Ha! Also means new bikini shopping for me and also means I must get that much needed job ASAP.
So much to do!
Ok since my goals were these last week:
1. No donuts or french fries!!!!!! (please tell me why this part is sooo hard!)
2. Eat as many home cooked meals in a week at least 5 days of the 7
3. Limit carb intake at dinners
4. 1/2 hour a day on the gazelle
5. 5 mins a day on the trampoline
6. drink plenty of water/tea
7. Supplements; Take fish oil pills with lunch.
I'm noticing a trend here ahah! A trend that is not working. Also, since I now live much closer to coffee shops, I find myself or husband coming home with no so healthy treats all the time!
New goals:
1. No donuts or french fries!!!!!! (totally not working! Lets say, we can have these only 1 day in the week, hmm but I had timbits yesterday so no more for the rest of the week! Do you see this Mr. husband ha!)
2. Eat as many home cooked meals in a week at least 5 days of the 7 (one area I'm doing well in)
3. Limit carb intake at Lunch and dinners
4. 1/2 hour Gazelle 3 times a week
5. 5 mins a day on the trampoline
6. drink plenty of water/tea
7. Supplements; Take fish oil pills with lunch.
8. 10000 steps on the pedometer 3 times a week
ok fresh start, I have 1 month!!!
Any tips on how to curb my sweet tooth?
I'm a big fan of the Biggest Loser and they're always pushing chewing gum to curb your sweet tooth. It works for me. Gum has only 5 calories.
ReplyDeleteYay for vacation!
If someone could figure that sweet tooth thing out i would like to know!! i tried but i failed!!
ReplyDeleteoooh, a vacation!! something to work toward! :)
ReplyDeletepersonally i've finally stopped fighting it, i know now that i'm gonna be eating sweets throughout the week. so lately, i've been buying some dark chocolate mint creams or chocolate covered cashews and i'll have 2 in the morning with my coffee and eat them really slow. and then at night after dinner, i'll have one more. this has totally been working for me!
and then if i want something specific like a cupcake during the week, i'll substitute my carbs for my meal and have the cupcake instead.
don't fight it!!! :)
I think you need to look at it like an addict, if having something sugary sets off more of a craving than you need to stop using sugar as much as possible and convert those tasebuds to sugar substitutes.
ReplyDeleteIf you can handle sugar as a treat once in awhile go ahead.
For me, the alcoholic, I can drink non-alcoholic beer and not crave the real stuff. For some it would trigger them and off they would go into a place they don't want to be.
Hope that makes sense. If not, I'll try again sometime-lol.
Great advice, Thanks everyone!
