I've been struggling

I've been struggling.

While so many folks used the stay at home during the pandemic to exercise and eat right, we were all stuck at home, in this little house, 24/7. I stopped making my shakes for lunch because whatever Mr. G was having for lunch smelled so good (yes, I am weak). 

Then there was the bread. I love Italian bread and bought a lot during the pandemic. It was only $1.99 and worked to soak up the dressing of a salad, or make a nice sandwich, then it became toast for breakfast (which is my favorite thing ever - toasted Italian bread with butter) And I quickly remembered why I stopped buying bread and crackers...because I enjoy them!

It's been rough. And I've gained weight back. I've gotten out of my eating pattern and am kinda down about it all. I know better than anyone that there is no quick fix, it takes work and time.

So I am starting over. I need to take a long look at my current eating habits and figure out how to change them. I am not sure what it's going to take, but I need to do something. I'm not happy with my current self.

I swear I need a personal chef to make dinner daily, so I can have all the healthy meals with none of the work and none of the clean up, lol...

I'm not sure what steps I'll be taking, but I'm working on it.

Apple Cider Vinegar - have you tried it?

I jumped on the bandwagon and ordered Goli Apple Cider Vinegar gummies. I have tried to use AVC in the past, but couldn't stand the taste. (I tried it in tea, apple juice, and water, and nope, nope, and nope) I've recently run out of my daily supplement of Green Coffee Bean (GCB) and shipping is taking forever unfortunately. Well, over the last week I have noticed that I can't eat enough; I am so snacky and so hungry (more than usual). By Wednesday, I had had enough. I was eating too much for no reason. And just like my Nunna used to say, at night when I was watching tv, I wasn't hungry, but I was craving to "chew on something". Granted, stress has been a huge factor this past week, and it will stay a factor, and let's face it, stress is always around us. I have to react better to it. And if ACV can help me not stress eat, I'll take it!  I talked to a few folks who say this ACV works and tastes good. I won't say it is "yummy" (my prob

I'm back!

So, the squats didn't work out so well. I hurt something and had to wait until it was healed to start again.  But this week we are trying to get back in the swing of things. I took liberties with dinner way too many times over the last few months (while not really feeling like myself mentally) and ordered out, ordered pizza, or made a frozen pizza for dinner. Well, that's over. My dinner plans for the next two weeks include chicken, chicken, and more chicken. (Can you hear the groans from my family?) Well, I was going to make tacos one night, but the grocery store was not only out of the taco dinner kit, but out of ground meat - soooo.... no tacos until I can get to a different store and get what I need. The slow cooker cola bbq chicken last night did not go over so well. Tonight is teriyaki grilled chicken and asparagus. I've literally been sitting for two years. As soon as the "stay at home" started I stopped trying to get my steps in. It was too hard. Mr. G was

I feel like I'm starting over all the time

I've lost track of how many times I have "started over" during this Pandemic. It feels like weekly. Are you feeling this too? Is it as tough for you as it is me? I feel like I've eaten more carbs in the last month than I have in the last year. A healthy lifestyle has to be a new way of living. I used to hang on for the weekends and eat my carbs or chocolate then. I stopped that when the Stay At Home Order started and some food was hard to find. I used it as an excuse. An excuse to eat food I knew I shouldn't. Today I have no motivation for you. If you're motivated please feel free to share - I am all ears. But, I haven't given up. I didn't like the number that I saw on the scale, so I'm working to change it. I am the only one that can change it. Today's goal? Drink my water and careful of the carbs. Snack on fruit - not crackers. And have my shake for lunch. One day at a time.
