Weight Loss Wednesday

i made a promise that every Wednesday i would blog about my weight loss journey. What's coming to mind right now is all the questions about diet and nutrition that people ask me. Since i'm not a nutritionist, i try not to dole out specific advice on the subject. I also struggle with eating daily.

I'm a foodoholic. I work hard to keep myself on track yet still cave to my cravings. Caving in is not always a bad thing when done in moderation. My problem was a used to consistently binge eat which i no longer do.

Another tough thing for me was portion control. Now, when we have friends over for dinner they make fun of me for always using a small plate. I'm cool with that. Laugh all you want, i'm much healthier, leaner, and fitter now and plan to stay that way.

Here's to getting and staying healthy and fit!! Happy weight loss Wednesday!

Weigh in, which bad choice is better?

I used to get up every morning, take my dogs for a walk and stop at a coffee shop after walking about .75 miles. My drink of choice: soy, with whip, caramello. it's basically a soy caramel latte made with homemade caramel and then whipped cream on top. So, i know it's bad for me, but i would always have another .75 more miles to walk home. Here's where i'm asking you to weigh in with a comment or share your bad choice dilemmas... typically now, i wake up, no caramello to look forward to, make some coffee, don't feel like walking the dogs, and will many nights eat a bowl of ice cream or two. I'm thinkin' the caramello was probably the better idea, but i realistically know that i'll work myself into a healthier habit of days without junk food. It all takes time. Really what i'm saying is weigh your options, sometimes bad is not so bad, sometimes the reward is better than the effort, and you can always work on creating new healthy habits be it exercise habits, eating habits, etc...
