I AM 5'3"...but definitely not those measurements!! Over the last 6 months, I have allowed myself to fall into this horribly seditary lifestyle. I was going to the gym twice a day and really getting into good shape. Since I moved back to Manhattan Beach and back in with DB, I haven't been able to get on a good schedule. I have become a very emotional eater in order to fill voids in my relationship. I have also started eating out of boredem. Also, I started drinking almost every night...and not just one drink; I would easily down an whole bottle of wine. Hence, I have gained about 15 pounds! I weighed and measured myself today and want to track my performance with weight and measurements every week. I hope by blogging about what I eat and my feelings throughout the weightloss journey will help keep me more accountable, too.
Today, my weight is 148.8. My chest is 38.5, my waist is 33, my hips are 38, my butt is 41, and my upper arm is 12!! I actually have cellulite, which is so uncommon for me. I feel pretty bad about myself and I know working out and eating right will make me feel better. I only wish I had support from DB. Everything I mentioned today about dieting was met with negative feedback! I just want someone who can say, "I'm proud of you for taking this step!". I guess I should be happy that he said he loves me no matter what I look like, but it's just not enough. Is that too much to ask? For support?? My goal is to lose 20 pounds, as well as to tone and firm up my body.
Anyway, today I ate pretty well. For breakfast, I had 1 egg with a tiny sprinkle of cheese, lost of spinach, and 1 piece of wheat toast. For lunch, I had 1/2 a chicken sandwich (with sliced deli meat, 1/2 a slice of baby swiss, mustard, and spinach) as well as 1 serving of Progresso light vegitable soup. I am trying to stick to the Superfoods diet but I have thrown a bit of the Weight Watcher's diet in there, too. I figure I can probably have 19 points a day. So the Progresso soup has 1 point - and it's recommended in the Superfoods diet, too. For dinner, I had about 5 oz (a bit too much) of salmon and 1 cup of roasted veggies w/ some olive oil (peppers, squash, zucchini, and asparagus). I packed my lunch for tomorrow (including 2 snacks). Monday's are tough because dinner is brought into the office and it's generally not very healthy. The fact that we set up the "buffet" right near my desk doesn't help either! I will be armed with some fiber-filled snacks and protein filled dinner to help fight off my urge.
Today I didn't exercise. I felt before I could really start this new lifestyle, the house had to be cleaned, laundry done, etc. That way I won't have any excuse and I'll be able to start fresh. I have packed up my gym bag and plan to run and do some weights tomorrow during my workday.
Wish me luck!! I know I can do this!!!
