Day 85

Wow have I really been on a diet that long...well sort of. I have been on a "diet" but have definitely had my share of cheating, but I guess that is how I can keep going, right? I am currently down 15 lbs which is not as much as I had hoped to lose by now and I need to pick up the pace if I want to get my reward by June for Disneyland. I am not to worried though since I have been on many trips and not really stuck with it so I have a lot to improve on. In the past couple of weeks I think I have found why I have not been able to lose weight in the past, well at least get to my goal weight before I give up, I just get so stinkin bored of what I am doing and eating so.....I have found that it is working to do a little diet hopping. I am determined to diet for 1 year (minimum) but I can do whichever diet I want to as long as I keep going. There are so many diets out there and all of them seem to work and as long as they are done with caution they are healthy as well. So far I have done, all fruits and veggies, then when I couldn't handle that anymore I added chicken and brown rice then when I need a little more I went to a high protein diet (not high fat). Now I am just trying to eat core foods, and very little simple carbs (white breads and rice etc). Since my weight loss has slowed down I am thinking that I need to make a drastic change so I will be implementing the fruit and veggies here very soon. I am very happy that it is starting to warm up here in UT so I can get outside for some exercise instead of depending on the WII.

Who knows how many days it has been

I feel like overall I am doing pretty well. I have not been able to lose the weight fast but I feel like it is coming off and will stay off. Anytime I am tempted to eat those "oh so yummy" food....I do, then I get right back to eating what I know my body wants and needs and it seems to be working. In the last week I have lost another 2 lbs and really feel like I did not sacrifice to much. Did I give up some yes but it is getting easier everyday to make good choices. I enjoy working out most days but that may be due to the fact that Shad is so much fun to watch while I do it, but I also know that it makes me feel so much better and healthier throughout the day.
