Wow – actually made some progress in the past week and a half. Cut back portions to 2/3 of what I was eating and increased activity level. The combined effect was the loss of 5 pounds. So that was encouraging at least. The best part was it was not difficult or frustrating or stressful – nice way to ease into this for someone who has never in her entire life ever had to lose weight or go on a diet! Guess I’ve been fortunate that way. What is really terrific is that I am not missing any taste cravings. And because I do have a wide variety of foods I like that is perfect for me. Nothing worse than a food rut, so never understood the concept of a grapefruit diet or some such thing where you eat the same low calorie food day in and day out. Yeow – not a fun way to do this.
Now on to next level of the goal – want to drop another 5 in the next 7 days. Going with same formula but cutting food intake just a tad more and increasing activity just a tad more as well – will see if it works!
In the meanwhile I admit it – I actually bought Spanex – oh my – don’t particularly like the end product “look” but it tightens things up and makes me feel less hungry as well.
