Today was my first official day of the healthier me. I decided that I would cut waaaaaaay back on sugar and try to stick to whole foods only. I know that with preparation and dedication I can do this. I'm basically cutting out most carbs, bread, pasta, most rice and grains. I will miss cereal the most, but this is temporary until I can kickstart my weight loss. I also know that my body works best when I don't eat simple carbohydrates. If I don't eat sugar, I don't crave sugar. Now I will be having white rice on the rare occasion because there's no way I can give up sushi or Indian food. Oh no way. Yummmmmm. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
I also started back to the gym tonight. I've been lucky enough that with the holiday madness and eating like a cow that I actually maintained the weight I lost before surgery. No more loss, but no gain and I'll take that. I worked out tonight for the first time since before surgery. It wasn't too bad. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical machine and 15 minutes on the treadmill. My back has been bothering me lately or I would have done more. I need to make it a point to start seeing my chiropractor more. I feel like overall I did well today. I ate all whole foods and did work out. I do crave sugar some right now, but I know that will get better over time. I get my first fill on Monday and can't wait!! I'm going to keep tracking my progress so that I can be accountable to not just me and I know that will help. :) 2012, I am ready!!!
You can do it! I know you can! Having this blog will help, too, cause then you can see a physical record of what you've done & how far you've come. Good girl!
