clayrae Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 20 pounds to go! I have been working on losing weight over the past couple of years. I have lost nearly 30 pounds with changes in my diet and semi-regular exercise. There are a few habits that I have picked up that I will post here. Maybe they can help someone else. I now always eat breakfast. I like bagels with cream cheese. I have switched to mini bagels (100 calories) which satisfy the BREAD! craving. I use 1/3 llght Neufchâtel cheese, because I like the way it tastes. (Light cream cheese tastes oddly sweet to me.) Here is the trick with the cream cheese: I could eat the whole brick. When I am rushing out the door in the morning the last thing I want to do is measure. So when I open the package I slice it into 8 one ounce servings and drop it into a storage container. Then I can just grab a chunk without thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayrae Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 My 29th birthDAY celebrations turned into birthWEEK celebrations... (and there are few friends I haven't seen yet, so more dinners loom (the horrors.)) So while I could post about the FABULOUS meals I had this weekend at Komi and Dino, I am instead, here, confessing. I was afraid to get on the scale this morning, I am sure the two pounds I lost last week are back, and probably with two more in tow... Anyone have any extra self control they could sell me? *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilrus Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Anyone have any extra self control they could sell me?*sigh* Mine is pretty well in full use these days. Did you check on eBay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cucas87 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Happy Birthday -- and my only advice is to do what I'm having to do today: get back on the plan and get back to the gym. That way, the upcoming celebrations won't be too damaging. That's my only recourse after my recent food extravaganza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Blume Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 That's a significant birthday to celebrate and celebrations are good for the soul. Look it's a truism rather than an insight, but it's worth becoming a mantra: This is not about dieting. This is about making significant changes in the way you live, getting more exercise and eating a more healthful diet. There's a reason Europeans refer to the "energy" in foods vs. the "calories". If those pounds returned, consider them a gift of an increased energy level. Spend, or lower it. Well, that's a bit more wordy than "Om mani padme hum", but...

clayrae Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Praise be! February is over! What a wretched month... I've managed to get the train back on the tracks here. Just returned from the gym (the second time this week!) Apparently eating really doesn't give your abs a workout after all. 18 pounds to go...

clayrae Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Well, I have lost 8 pounds. But that was after gaining 4 in March and April. So actually down 4. But I have been going to the gym regularly, the scale is moving in the right direction again, and I generally just feel better. I will turn 30 in January and have restated my goal to be fit before I hit that milestone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
