Today I turn 34. I'm still 5 foot 1 inches and I'm still 200 lbs.
Exactly 200 pounds.... it doesn't seem to change.
I did initially lose 15 pounds when we went on our 10 days of REAL food but then John's Grandmother who I briefly mentioned was in the hospital ended up dying.
That put a stop to our diet.
So... in the 6.... no 7 MONTHS we've made the following changes...
In October we eliminated hot dogs from our diet.
In November we eliminated french fries.
December was McDonald's (yes a necessity to give it a whole month by itself)
January was boxed, starchy sides like instant potatoes or rices.
February was processed lunchmeat
This month, March, is canned vegetables and fruit. (fresh or frozen now only)
Next month will be anything with high fructose corn syrup
I realize it doesn't seem to be a lot but we're eliminating all of these things completely and we have a whole month to adjust to this ONE new rule. This seems easier. Taking these little steps doesn't seem so extreme and when we circle back to a year in October the list should be pretty long on what we no longer eat.
However, obviously this is not satisfactory in regards to ME being healthier. I need to do more. I am NOT being a good example for my girls.
So, tonight I just sent a message to a private fitness studio down the street.. I'm going to prioritize exercise in our lives.. starting with me... I'm going to work with a personal trainer.
