I don't like being fat. Especially since I've been thin most of my life. Actually, I hate being fat. I just can't figure out what to do about it! Apparently, I'm not very good at dieting on my own. I'm also not very good at holding myself accountable. Humph. So, I joined Nutrisystem. I started on February 1st. In 8 weeks, I've lost 15.4 pounds. HOORAY! Finally, success. I know exactly why too - because I didn't have to do anything. I only eat what they send me. I don't have to think about what to cook, how much to cook, calories, fat, blah, blah, blah. It's perfect for me! So, here are some things I discovered; I don't miss sugar. That's a big one for me. But, I am totally a carb-o-holic. Man do I miss potatoes, and chips. But, I'm not craving them now so that's a plus. Also, it's really hard not to over eat! Starting April 1st, I'm going to go it alone and see what happens. Wish me luck! I know what I have to stay away from now. Oh, and fruits and veggies are free food! THAT, I love! I can eat a lot of veggies :-)
And lots of walking. 10,000 steps a day is hard when you're an office slug. So, I walk 30/40 minutes every day at lunch. I park far away. I take the long way everywhere.
Already there are huge health benefits too. According to my fitbit, my average heart-rate the week of Feb. 1st, was 87. The week of March 1st, it was 71. This week, it's 67. Whoa. THAT'S AWESOME!
