I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!

Exercise, nothing : - Tomorrow I am hitting the gym since my husband will look after our son!! hurray!!!

First weight-in will be: October 4 - 2 weeks on the diet. Let's see how it goes. OMG I am scared

See u tomorrow!!

I am not having time to be creative with the meals probably should prepare it ahead of time!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

Hi there! I just wanted to say hey and give you a little help on your diet. Im actually graduating in May with my Bachelors on Dietetics, so im pretty legit when it comes to nutrition. I dont want to freak you out but I thought you could use a little help

Im worried that your cals might be to low! If you decrease your calories way too much then you could be headed for disaster (Starvation mode, hunger, etc)! Especially if your an on the go mom, you'll need good nutrients and energy. You said you were around 156lbs (for the us people here ) so I would typicall suggest anywhere from 1200-1500 calories. Never go under 1200 though because your body will react unfavorably.

I dont wanna push my ideals on you though. So these are all just some suggestions. Looking from your food journal, I know you dont have fruit in your diet atm. But I would really suggest at least 1-2 servings of fruit a day. They have great natural sugar and can relaly help curb your apetite for sweet things, and you could even subsitute fruit for your sugar free ice cream, candies, etc and actually feel more satisfied in the end because fruit has lots of fiber and goodness that keeps you full. Also, if your nervous about dairy try some light soy products. I dont drink milk but have found light-soymilk has half the calories and pretty much tastes the same.

And also, your a very beautiful woman, and Im sure you will hit your goal in no time. Way to go for starting a journal and holding yourself accountable for your diet and exercise.

See you around!

Mariah

Oh Mariah, thank you so much for passing by!! I really appreciate it!

Congrats on the near-graduation!! way to go!

You are so right about everything you mentioned. I will do that, I plan to anyway, but at the moment, I just need to block things to give it a boost. Surprisingly, I am not feeling hungry, neither poor in energy, I am actually shocked because I thought I wouldn't be able to feel energetic for my son, but I do!! I felt blah the fist couple of days, but after, I felt MORE ENERGETIC!

My husband came back from a business trip 2 days ago, and he emphasized about how I looked different emotionally. He said I was smiling more than before and my self-steem was much better. I feel the same thing. I feel more motivated because I feel I can breath more easily!!

I wake up with more energy even if I slept late, I am more eager to wear things because actually I am feeling my clothes loosier than before, and when I sit the tummy tier (this is what I call it ) it's smaller!!!!!!

The only bad thing about this plan, is that I have a bit of constipation. I am not drinking much water anyway, dont know why, but I have to solve this ASAP!!!

Mariah, thanks again, and I plan to follow what you suggested, but not at the moment, but very soon!

Thanks for the positive response! Glad to hear of all the energy you have and the confidence boost. That is whats so important! I'll be stopping by again!
Take Care

YAY YAY YAY

Ok, will get back to track in what I ate today. YAY!

I have been a bit off for a while in posting my daily update. I have been busy with work, baby, and now preparing for a party dinner we are having this coming Thursday!

I still havent weighted myself as said before. I stated that I will weight myself for the first time on Oct 4, and I didnt do it. I dont have a scale, and havent been to a place where there is.

One the positive side, I want to announce that I fit in a pant that didnt used to!! also, there was this pajamas that didnt fit at all, and now they do!!!!! woooohooo!! But still, I have to see how much I lost.......!!!!

Soooooooo..... just bringing in today's update..

On Saturday Oct 3, I kindda messed up We had my BIL and his new wife having lunch at our house, and I did arroz con pollo (chicken rice and veggies) and russian salad. I said to myself that I would do my 'lunch' but I just didnt. I served a VERYYYYYY small portion of both and had a diet coke (I know its ok bec the portion was good, but I just ran off the road of blocking carbs, and here I was eating rice ). Also today, I dont know if I messed up too, but we were at the Coffee bean and tea leaf, and I ordered this chicken chinese salad. It had I think the spring rolls sauce???????? It was kindda sweet.. It was good.. I think I shouldnt have eaten it though.

This is it. I will update later on. It's still 1.20pm.. so still dinner coming in.

As for the exercise, I am not doing so I am so exhausted, and my husband isnt there to watch after our son as he is a bit busy these days away from home what to do. I might have to take him our for a stroller and walk! and walk!

Thanks for reading.

Till then!

Haven't posted in ages!!!!

Just wanted to update this and announce that I have lost a total of 6 kilos!! which is like 13 pounds!!!

YAY!!!!!!!

Congrats on the weight loss! Keep it up!
