So basically, I feel like a broken record. I bet you could all say it along with me. "Hi, I am back again! This time I promise I am in it for real..." Sigh. I just seem to be in a serious slump. The no sugar thing isn't working because, well, I love sugar. And I am depressed so the sugar helps me. Not seriously depressed, just hate living with my inlaws and having no control over my life at all. I hate not knowing what is going on, and when things are going to change, and so, to not dwell on those thoughts, I bake cookies. I eat ice cream. Not to mention the fact that it is summer, and that means snow cones. Only three months out of the year can I enjoy that icey goodness called Tigers Blood. Oh so good.
But, I really need to change. Because really, I do eat well. I have a green smoothie for breakfast nearly every morning with a piece of whole wheat toast. For lunch I generally eat a large green salad with a piece of whole wheat toast. And then for dinner, I have been watching my portion sizes and eating less. Then I go to work for three hours, come home, and don't eat anything, then go to bed.
I am not really sure what is going on with this stubborn mid-section though. I get the three hours of work in each night. I eat tons of fruits and veggies. I don't eat a lot. And I am not losing anything.
Sigh.
Which leads me to believe I need some serious exercise help. But that is hard. I have two kids who make exercising extremely difficult. My son loves to join me, but in so doing, stands right in front of me, so I trip on him and we both get hurt. My daughter hates for me to exercise. She purposefully hurts herself so I will pay attention to her and not my exercise vid. It is so frustrating. So, I am not getting much in aside from work.
But the good news is I am not hating my body. I actually like it quite a bit. For the first time in a very long time I love just about everything about me, body included. I would like to be able to fit into the smaller cute clothes again, which is why I am on this journey.
So, I am asking for some help. What else should I be doing? I want to get rid of some of this spare tire (because it is starting to look like I have a tube around my waist), but I really don't know how. Tips? Suggestions? Anything will be much appreciated! Thanks.
