I started the new eating program I am on yesterday. I am pleased to say, I was successful. I know that is only one day, but the nutritionist told me the first week is so hard. So, one down...6 to go!
I mentioned nutritionist. Yep. I have one. You see, I have tried many different methods to changing my eating style, and just have not found one that I can maintain. She has opened my eyes up even in the first week choices (when there really aren't many). But, she tells me different ways of cooking, spicing, etc. I LOVE having someone actually sit down and explain the food groups to me and not just try to shove salads and fruit in my face constantly. I am also on a couple of vitamins to help me get the nutrients I will be missing for a bit. That is very important to me as well.
My first weigh in is next Wednesday. I will go for weekly weigh-in's and meetings with my nutritionist. At first, I thought, seriously? Weekly? BUT...I quickly realized this was going to be very beneficial! ACCOUNTABILITY! I will know I am going to be weighed weekly, and let's just be real...who wants to see numbers go up? NOT ME! I have never been one to weigh myself all the time. I typically go by how I feel in my clothes, so this will be new for me. When I reach my goal, I will not be weighing weekly. Maybe monthly. I don't want to get caught up in strictly the numbers game if my clothes still fit how I want them to at that point.
I also ordered a cute chambray dress a size smaller yesterday. I will hang it in my closet so it stares at me every single time I open the door. I WILL wear it by March. I WILL post a pic of me wearing it when it fits :)
Here is the dress:
I hope you all have an amazing Friday and a fabulous weekend! I don't know if I will blog on the weekend, so...see ya Monday!
Love the dress!!! Can't wait to see you in it!! You will do fantastic!
ReplyDeleteA weekly meeting is great! That will be so helpful. Accountability partners are great! Also, being accountable to yourself because you are worth it and your kids are worth it. Health is what's important not the weight so much. Everytime I get focused on the weight, I fail.. It should always be.. I need to be THE BEST ME I can be. I think daily to myself, how can I be a better mom and partner to Chad, and follower of Christ ? It's always the same. Just taking good care of myself so that I may better serve them. It's not about being perfect just finding that balance. I'm still trying to figure that out. It sure is rewarding when you try and succeed. Super cute dress! It's gunna look great on you! I heard a nutritionalist say once " it's a Lot more fun to drive a Porsche than a beater the rest of your life". I loved that because when you don't eat the proper foods(which I wasn't at the time) you feel sluggish, tired, sick Ect. And we get so used to that feeling that we can't remember what it's like to feel GREAT! truly GREAT! So we drink coffee, energy drinks and whatever else to get us out of the fog and it just masks the true problem. We REALLY ARE what we eat. So, Sis.. It's day 3 on the juice cleanse and I'm feeling on top of the world. Yesterday sucked some. Super hungry and a toxic headache from the build up of toxins that I'm getting out but today is great so far!!
