I have been doing this weight loss thing for almost a month and I can proudly say that I have lost 6 lbs and going strong! I've talked with lots of other people about weight loss and everyone seems to say the same thing, Slow and Steady. A lot of changes, for the better, have happened like I mentioned before. I don't feel hungry all the time, my sugar intake is a lot less, my joints don't ache as much, as well as my back...I'm hoping that with this weight loss that the pain in my back will go away for good! We'll see about that. Also I'm proud to announce that my Diet Coke intake is only 1 can a week! For those of you that know me real well, I bleed Diet Coke. I would have 2-3 cans a day! Now, I can taste the sugar and it's almost too much for me. I did have one today because I was soo tired during work. If anyone has any suggestions for different natural wake up foods or something, that would be great! I don't really want to do coffee, if at all possible and I do drink a lot of tea....The start of the less Diet Coke actually started when my husband read an article about how bad aspartame is and asked me kindly to stop. I'm trying simply because I think he would like me to stick around awhile longer and I love him, so I think that's a good enough reason! :)
Like I said before I'm a person that wants to see instant results, but the big thing is that I feel better and am getting healthier! Yay for healthy life!
Today's stats:
starting weight :234
today's weight: 228.6
This is a good feeling! :)
I was going to suggest green tea for a little energy boost, but you said you already drink tea! Only other advice is to always eat something for breakfast. I've definitely noticed it makes me less sluggish during the work day. Keep your head up, Anndee. Slow and steady is the way to be :) Yay for healthy life!!
