21 Day Food Rehab Restart - Day 1 (6/17/14)

I found this posted on Facebook this week and decided to jump-start my eating habits by following these guidelines.  Also, after reading the post, I decided to visit the website (www.BlackWeightLossSuccess.com) to learn more about the challenge: June 2014 Portion Control Challenge.  Interestingly, many of the guidelines and principles discussed on the website are well-promoted by the medical community - keeping a food diary, reading food labels, set a daily calorie target, eating more, smaller meals, etc. This is a testament that there are affordable weight management options if you are willing to do the research,

As a general rule of thumb, it always a good idea to validate health information with reputable sources - your physician is always a good starting point.  

I posted this in my kitchen, even at work!  Sometimes the worst place for me to manage my eating is my office.  I'm engaging co-workers to help me stay on track.  The more people you are accountable to, the more likely you will be accountable.

Day 1 meals
Breakfast - bran cereal, skim milk, bananas, Splenda, coffee
Snack - banana
Lunch - salad greens, reduced-fat cheese, grilled chicken breast, sugar-free raspberry vinaigrette dressing
Snack - banana
Dinner - broiled chicken thigh, lima beans, summer squash with low-fat cheese 

Surprisingly I didn't feel deprived.  For the most part, I wasn't hungry.

On to Day 2!

15 in 15 - My Sojourn to Labor Day: Week 4 (falling off the wagon)

Well, no excuses, no alibis - just no discipline.

Lost track (and focus) these past 3 weeks.

Time to get back on my game and back energized.

Goals for the week
* Back to journaling (Weight Watchers)
* Ride exercise bike 4 times this week at least 35 min.

Once on the Lips, Gotta Burn it off Those Hips

Better think twice before taking that 2nd slice of pie!

 

Check out this Active.com article on how to burn off those Turkey Day calories!!!

50 X 50 - 4 lbs. lost, 46 lbs to go

I've been back on Weight Watchers for about 3 weeks and I've lost 4 lbs.  - could have been more, but I wasn't disciplined during the July 4th holiday. Tracking hasn't been my strong suit - but you know just because you didn't write it down doesn't mean you did eat.  The scales are going in the right direction and that's what's important.
