Almost a year!

Jan 24, 2011

It is so hard for me to believe that it will be a year since my surgery in just 25 days.  I think I will have a party for my new birthday.  My weight loss has slowed considerably... I am now going to the gym at least 5 days a week and at mimimum doing 45 minutes on the treadmill.  I feel stuck at the 174 stage and want to get down to my goal. 

I am struggling with carbs... working on that as I type.  Got Kaye Bailey's cook books to help with fixing the right things... and keeping my eye on other websites that offer recipes.  I am working on practicing the 2x1 system... 2 bites of protein, then 1 bite of complex carbs (veggie or starch).  No breads/starches with breakfast, just protein. Sometimes sandwich for lunch using the sandwich thins or bagel thins or 1 slice of wholewheat/wholegrain bread, dinner - chicken, fish, or pork with veggie and small starch.  My biggest area is snacking.  It is soooo hard at night.  I am working on high protein snacks... I do munch on small size (about half a cup) of mixed nuts sometimes.... I crave the crunch, salty, then sweet.  I am learning to get over myself on this and it is incredibly hard.

What's that old song... We shall, We shall, Over come!  That is me... I will change.
