I'm happy to report I am back on track and lost .08 pounds this week. It's not much but considering I gained a couple of pounds last week, I really lost 3.6 pounds. That is a total weight loss of 12.4 pounds in 8 weeks. It's coming off slow but at least it's coming off.
Here's a break down of my weight loss over the past 8 weeks:
Week 1 - Lost 5 pounds
Week 2 - Lost 1.4 pounds
Week 3 - Lost 2.4 pounds
Week 4 - Lost 1 pound
Week 5 - Lost 1.8 pounds
Week 6 - Stayed the same
Week 7 - Gained 2.8 pounds
Week 8 - Lost 3.6 pounds
= Total Weight Loss 12.4 lbs
My body has changed so much since I have children, it's crazy! We will see how I do next Saturday.
Here are some things I been eating to help me feel full and satisfied:
Fruit - I never was a big fruit person, but since I have changed my eating habits my taste buds have changed. For a snack, I love having 1 cup of berries with 1/2 cup of yogurt or cottage cheese for 3 points.
Lean Meat - I used to never dress up sandwiches or burgers, but now I add lots of lettuce, tomatoes, and even some avocado.
Green Veggies - Again, I was never a big veggie person either, but now I learned to cook veggies with a little oil and seasoning and I love them.
Whole Grain Bread - I rarely eat white bread anymore.
Skinny Lattes - I LOVE coffee! My favorite drink is an Grande Iced Nonfat Caramel Macchiato for 4 points. This way I don't feel deprived at all.
Low Fat Desserts - I absolutely love Dreyer's Slow Churned Ice Cream. It's only 1-2 points per 1/2 cup.
Like I said, my taste buds have changed and I crave healthier food now. Don't get me wrong, I still have days when I crave a cupcake or something. Losing weight is super hard, but this blog is helping me become accountable. I'm really excited to see where I will be in the next few months. Hopefully in a smaller body! We'll see!
The Key is:
FIBER
Eat Smarter, Eat less, Move More
