Salads, Nuts and Veggies Oh My
I’m really pleased with the results I saw from our 30 Day Shred challenge but it’s really just too difficult for me to find the time every day to do it. I only have “x” amount of time within which to work, run errands, clean etc. In order to consistently stay up with it I would have to let something go, such as sleep, which is just soooo not happening. Still I would really like to lose about 15 more pounds. See here’s the thing. We might possibly maybe sorta kinda be thinking about maybe having another child. Maybe. While I gained less than 20 pounds with my son, I don’t know that I would be so lucky this time. It was a combination of pure exhaustion, daily nausea and vomiting well into my 2nd trimester and the hottest summer in 20 years. However, even 20 more pounds on my current frame would be too much.
So I think the greatest hurdle to those last 15 pounds is my diet is so inconsistent. I couldn’t really tell you how many calories I consume in a day. Heck I can’t even tell you what I ate yesterday. I may go half a day and realize all I have had is coffee. I’m pretty sure this has slowed down my once speedy metabolism. Few things that I picked up over at the Biggest Loser website that I will be adding to my routine:
- Having a large salad packed with fruit, veggies and protein for breakfast followed by a large glass of water.
- Eating a banana and drinking a glass of water before I leave the house every time. This one is HUGE for me. I forget to eat and then I’m out and whatever I see I must have before my blood sugar plummets further.
- “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper.” Your largest meal should be the first one and you will have the energy to get through your day. I have been knowingly doing it all ass-backwards. When I think about it I am able to follow this but it’s not consistent. So for the next 30 days I will be keeping a journal of my snacks and meals so that I can keep track.
I would love to reach my weight loss goal within the next 2 months by doing it as healthily as possible. Oh and I start my new Yoga class on Monday. Does anyone have any other tips that might be easy and workable into my busy schedule?
