Here I am, one month into my goal of losing weight, and I am down 8-10 lbs (depending on the time of day.) What am I currently doing? Because I have a lot to lose, I decided I just 100% just need to get more active, which means getting out of my house, off my computer, and doing something. I have been eating better, I've only had a real fast food meal once, and have cut down on the sweets. I have been walking (I even walked to the grocery store today:), took a Zumba class, and have been doing a lot of yard work. But I think it is time to up my weight loss challenge. I was reading one of the local newscaster's Facebook page and she is doing a 30 day no treats/candy/junk-food challenge, and I am thinking I will do it right along with her. I know it will suck, but I think it will be the necessary jump-start I need. Now the question is, do I throw out all of the junk in my house and make Mike kind of do it along with me, at least while he is at home, or do I face myself with the temptation every time I walk into the kitchen?
I am still working on my video, and have to get it done and in pretty quickly as the deadline is looming (this Friday!) So I am getting on it, and will get it done! My goal for this week is to work on portion control. I am thinking about opening my weight loss blog up and just letting it out there. It's time to be accountable for where I am. Now if I could just work on the sleep factor......

It definitely would be easier for you to get rid of all the treats in your house. Maybe you should ask Mike what he thinks?
ReplyDeleteI would love to read your weight loss blog. After this baby gets here I will be on the same journey.
Congrats on the weight you have lost. You are an inspiration. Also, good luck on your video. I'd love to see it.
I would definitely not any junk food in your house. Have your hubby take it to his work and he can have it there if he wants, or better yet, he can do it with you! :) I did that several months ago, on a challenge my husband gave me- he said there was no way I could go without junk food for a whole month, so of course I totally did it, and as a plus, lost 7lbs!
ReplyDeleteIf you are really set on doing this no junk food thing, I'd get rid of the snack food. When you're hungry or have had a bad day, it's better not to have any around. It would just make you feel crappier if you didn't meet your goal.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
If you don't want to get rid of the food then bag all that won't go bad and put it somewhere inconvienient (Or have Mike hide it if he is better at not getting into things) I have Ben do that with the treats we have here at the house. I cave if the treats are around. "out of sight, out of mind" (well most of the time (; ) Good luck! Ben and I did no treats for a month and I can easily say it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be but the first week was the trickiest. You will do great. :) Stick to it!
