Well, here it is- a new year 2012. Once again I feel the need to set forth all of these new resolutions to start the new year off right. Lose weight, save money, exercise more. I've heard it said that the only way a change is going to stick is if you are sick and tired of being sick and tired. I truly think I have reached that point this year. I got on the scale this morning- 269.4! I need to lose 100 pounds. Now I am realistic enough to know that all 100 are not coming off this year. I would love to lose half this year and half next year (if there is a next year). So how am I going to lose 50 pounds and keep it off? I am convinced this has to be a true metanoia. Gosh I haven't used that word since Cursillo. Metanoia is a change of mind and heart. I can't be following the latest diet trend just because it was successful for my brother or it is what Jeff thinks is best. This change has to come from within. I hope I can use this blog to keep myself accountable for this change. I hope and pray I will have people from all sides supporting me along the way. Yes, that means you kids too! No More Temptations to go buy Chocolate!!! I am going to try to eat "clean" as often as I can. I am not going to count points or calories, but hopefully by making good choices, I can shed these pounds in a way that won't be so painful. So here we go:
Breakfast- 1 banana, 1 small Cutie
Lunch- Super Salad- (greens, veggies, avocado, grilled chicken breast) and crackers.
Snack- vanilla yogurt and strawberries, blueberries & banana
Dinner- bacon wrapped sirloin, mashed potatoes, beer bread
Jeff & I walked about 1.5 miles in the cold and wind.
