Hi everyone!
I am finally creating a diary after being on here off and on for years. Happy to be here!
A couple weeks ago (June 29th), I decided I needed to start trying to lose this weight again. For awhile I just completely didn’t care and ate whatever I wanted and my exercise consisted of… nothing. I feel like I go through long periods of this, which is a huge reason I am still overweight. I am really hoping this diary will help keep me on track! Plus I don’t really like talking about weight loss in my actual life because none of my friends are overweight/ I don’t feel comfortable talking about it because it is so closely linked to my insecurities.
So, over the past 12 days I lost 5 lbs :). I must say it feels much longer though haha. I am not writing my food down, but am closely keeping track and keeping a running total in my head – aiming for 1,200 /day. So far I have been able to stick to it! I am very happy about this because a huge issue in the past was totally falling off the wagon on weekends and taking 2 steps back. In the past it has taken me many months to make inroads into this problem, so I know it’s early but I am very happy that this time it just seems easier.
So! My plan so far is 1,200 calories a day and trying to add in more vegetables and eat less carbs (read pasta & bread). So far, I’ve been eating a lot of peas. This week’s goal - eating some broccoli.
Exercise plan: 45 min of cardio 5x a week. As my body gets more used to this I will add in more exercises/strength training, probably in august.
Hunger distraction strategy: listening to happy music/ coming here ;)
Look forward to reading other peoples diaries!
Ttyl,
Julie
