So ummmm, I have this suck ass cold and I can’t breathe so I have not worked out since Sunday and I already miss it!
Today I had:
Breakfast: Egg, english muffin, yogurt (Planned to eat banana in car…never got to it)
Snack: Protein bar
Lunch: Pizza. And WATER!
Snack: NONE
Dinner: Chicken, salad, pita bread
I think I will have a snack tonight!
I haven’t had ANY diet coke today. WATER!
After reading all the crap I have read about artificial sweeteners, I am making a very concerted effort to stay away from them! Apparently your body has no idea WHAT to do with them, so it processes them like sugar and screws with your pancreas and insulin levels and hunger and weight.
So I am allowing myself 1 diet coke each day – no more than 20 oz. And only when I feel it’s absolutely necessary. Because sometimes it is!!
I was SOOOOO busy at work today – I think that is an excellent strategy – STAY BUSY! It definitely keeps my mind off of food and all kinds of other issues that make me stressed.
So if someone asked me the most important things to do to lose weight:
1. Drink water
2. Sleep enough
3. No fast food.No fried food.
4. Limit sugar and sweeteners. Eat fruit to satisfy your sweet tooth – eventually your body WILL crave it!
5. PLAN AHEAD. Meals, snacks, days when you will be out of your routine. Lack of planning usually leads me to making an unhealthy, seemingly easy choice.
What are your best tips?
