Made it to the weekend - whew!

It's Friday!


Woot!!

After consuming too many carbs during the Superbowl, I decided this week I would cut the carbs, and look to the weekend. Limit my carbs during the week, then eat some of my cravings on the weekends.
This was the wrong week to do that, lol... PMS week! It was rough. I was lucky that there was no chocolate in the house, and I was too lazy to go out to buy any. Because if it was here, I surely would've eaten it!
I felt like I was depriving myself of all that I so desperately wanted to eat. (I felt as dramatic as that sentence sounded, lol) and it was only 4 days!! haha!

But I drank my water, I tried to stay within my calories, and I ate chicken and veggies - NO STARCHES - for those four days. I still had my half of a bagel in the morning. And I was praying that after all that I actually lost weight this week, seeing as how it is pms week and I typically gain lots of water weight.
I had my Burton Nutrition vanilla protein shakes for lunch. I usually go with a banana peanut butter shake (yes, everyday, lol. I like the salty and sweet) but this week I went with a blueberry shake, and added probiotic vanilla yogurt - it was so good! Curbed my sweet tooth for the afternoon anyway.

Good news! I lost 2lbs! Whew...it was all worth it.

And now it's Friday. I'll watch the food today, but give myself a break if necessary. Same over the weekend (I'm eating one treat tomorrow, I am not sure what, but one thing I really want, I'm getting)
I am SO CLOSE to the next milestone weight loss, and I've been close for too long. I just can't seem to crack it and stay there. But I'm determined. If I keep this up, I'll get there.

So happy Friday (or weigh in day, if you use Fridays like I do), and let's start the weekend! Enjoy life, and enjoy food, but try to keep it real. Just don't go overboard and next week won't be as difficult as this past week was for me - LOL!

Why it's called a Healthy Lifestyle

Why we call it learning a Healthy Lifestyle

Because sometimes as adults we need to re-learn how to eat correctly. Just because we eat what we like doesn't mean it should cause us to gain 10lbs like it's nothing. And trust me, I've been there.
Learning to eat healthy means making good choices every single day. It's not a diet. It's not never eating a piece of bread again. It's just making good choices.
In the last year I lost AND KEPT OFF 30lbs. That is the big part for me - keeping it off.
I wanted to lose 50lbs, and that didn't happen, but I kept off all that I lost, and I have to see that as a positive. I kept it off eating stuffing at Thanksgiving. I kept it off eating cookies and potatoes at Christmas. I kept it off over a bad three weeks in February that happened right at Valentine's day (so there was chocolate in the house, which we never have in the house). I was depressed and sad, and I ate. I ate EVERYTHING I could find. I wasn't proud of m…

I am down another pound and it feels damn good!

Down another pound. I am the lowest I have been in maybe 5 years? And it feels damn good.
One pound might not sound like a lot, but it really is. It doesn't just mean 1 more pound lost, but it means all the other pounds I've lost have stayed off.
It means that I can have a day where I eat something I enjoy, like a cookie (or two) or a cinnamon roll, and not dive off the deep end and eat that way for every single meal.
It means that I CAN DO THIS.
And that is everything.
I was supposed to have my physical earlier this week, but the office had to cancel. Is it weird that I was actually looking forward to it? And I was disappointed when it was cancelled? Is it even weirder that I ENJOY stepping on the doctors office scale now? Instead of fearing how far UP she will be moving the weights I am not eager to see how much lower she has to move them since my last visit. I am proud of my accomplishments, and I should be.
I am learning how to live healthy. It's not a diet, and I'…

The thing about eating healthy

The thing about eating healthy is you learn how to eat. I will be the first to admit, when I moved out on my own, I no longer had a parent telling me what I could and couldn't eat. And I didn't cook, lol.

Yes, you can eat chocolate cake for breakfast. But after I began to really watch what I was eating, I realized just because I "can" eat something doesn't mean that I should. And just because I'm not eating it doesn't mean that I "can't", it just means that I choose not to.

Anyway, after moving out, I literally ate fast food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I was having fun! And I gained like 20-30lbs in the process...

Those bad habits started to follow me. If I wanted to eat something I just ate it.
Now I'm thinking before I eat. But I still enjoy things I like. I like to go out to eat, and like most people, I enjoy a good appetizer. But limit those nights out to 2-3 times a month, instead of multiple times a week.
Even over the holid…
