I should start off by saying that this blog is to help keep me on track with my weight loss, increasing exercise, and following a healthier lifestyle. Anyone is welcome to read and offer support, suggestions, and constructive criticism, as I will probably screw up several times along the way (as a matter of fact, I'm currently munching on a brownie while typing this). I need to change, though, both for my health and for the example that I'm setting for my children. Having a child with type 1 diabetes puts him at risk for more complications than a completely healthy person would, so it's important to me that I set a good example early on.
Hopefully this blog will help keep me on track more than I have been lately. I have a tendency to eat emotionally, and also out of boredom. I really need a lot of willpower to stay away from those things. I have found that I can still find taste in foods that are healthy, so maybe there's hope yet. I do have a lot of junk-food cravings (such as McDonald's and brownies, for instance, so when McDonald's started offering their brownie bites, there went another couple inches on my butt!). I love food itself, so I'll be doing some research into finding recipes that are both tasty and won't kill me. My ultimate goal here is to tell McDonald's to piss off.
That being said, I'll try to make this as exciting and funny as possible for a potentially boring subject, for those that might be interested in reading along. If not, oh well; if it keeps me on track, then it's fulfilling its purpose anyway.
Sweet dreams.
I'm totally excited for you!!! I started Weight Watchers.....again.....last week and am feeling ultra motivated. So we can keep each other motivated. Writing down everything you eat is amazing for keeping yourself accountable. Maybe you could update daily with everything you've eaten?
ReplyDeleteThat is something I could try to do, definitely. That way when I go making a pan of brownies like I did tonight (bad day) I won't forget about it as easily! Though I must say I only ate ONE! :-D
ReplyDelete1) I love you
ReplyDelete2) I would love to tell McDonald's to piss off too! Only for me it's Hardee's #9
3) You are hilarious and I can't wait to read more of your blogs!
There are a lot of people who care about you and your family. Keep reaching out for the support we can offer. Just a hint: If you make a meat loaf - substitute crushed up pork rinds as a substitute for bread crumbs or cracker - no carbs. Mashed, well-done cauliflower is a decent substitute for mashed potatoes - just season the same way.
