Getnfit's flab-reducing plan

[getnfit06]

Howdy !!
Yesterday was extremely busy and I didn't get to log my eating. But it was not an exceptional day
Everything was good until dinner and I was out and unable to do anything but get fast food. I could've got a salad at mcd's and I wish I had of after the fact, but they take longer to eat and I had a hair appt so I got a fish sandwich and fries. UGH!!! You know at first the fries tasted so good *( i appologize if this brings on craving for anyone)* and the fish, cuz i was very hungry, but I couldn't eat all the fries, which excited me, but I felt cruddy all evening. I ended up also later eating a small bowl of frosted flakes which was also a idiotic idea. I am going to NOT beat myself up because i learned something that I hopefully won't forget anytime soon...FAST FOOD MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE CRAP!! Ok, onto today
m1: protein shake, no fruit. 1/2 c. oatmeal the usual but not fruit today.
m2:mcdonalds grilled chicken salad. (boss wanted to buy my lunch for my birthday tomorrow and i won't be working tomorrow) So i chose salad
m3: salmon quesadilla *(same as before)*
diet soda.

Going to up the water intake today, finally made it to the store and got some bottled water
** I am concerned about this weekend though It is my 40th birthday tomorrow and I know there is going to be food eaten that is not , how should i phrase it..."CLEAN!"
I know my hubby took the day off and is getting a new corvette (from a friend that owns a dealership)just for the day to take me out to eat. I figure we'll go to Red Lobster...cuz it's awesome. Now I know I will eat the biscuits and I know I will get my favorite dish "jumbo coconut shrimp" God help me, i can't resist.
Then, my sis is fixing dinner for all of us and my bday dessert. I know she is making Beef and noodles and mashed potatoes and green beans. Not sure of the dessert but maybe cheesecake or something of that nature.
Any suggestions , beside my stapling my mouth shut....would be appreciated. And yes I know You only turn 40 once and once is enuff for me but I don't want to be fat and forty.........egads!

Well let me be the first to say.....

And don't worry about the slipups, the important thing is you've seemed to already develop a distaste for the fast foods, so that's a good result from eating clean.

Good going today and have a great b-day tommorrow, girlie!

Happy Birthday My Dear! I turned 40 last year and though it sucks getting old (LOL) that doesn't mean that you have to get or remain out of shape and out of control! You have already conquered the first step = fixing what was just *this much off* with your approach to fitness and every day life.

THAT IS HUGE!

Now keep on kicking yer own butt. Remember it isn't the final destination (once you get your ducks in a row you will like where you end up regardless... trust me on that one) it is ALL ABOUT THE JOURNEY!!!

Hello hello!

Hey hun, where are you at?

 

[getnfit06]

Hello all I sorta disappeared there.
I am having a real struggle with eating, more than i have ever in my life. Not sure why I keep letting myself down.
I have to keep trying as embarassing as it is, failing, restarting, etc. etc........... But I look the worst I have in a long time and feel so outta control. I don't want to be a fat wife or fat mommy.

Got up this am walked for 20 min. on the treadmill (at 13%) incline. Got a good sweat... just wish I didn't have to walk on that incline everytime !

m1: protein shake with (one scoop whey, 1/2 orange, water)
1/3 c. dry old fashioned oats, w/2/3 c. water, 1 pkt. splenda, cinnamon

It's going to be like that, start, stop, one step back, two steps back, one baby step forward.

Changing eating habits and getting into a regular exercise program is seriously tough.

The whole idea of it is simple, but actually doing it is TOUGH.

I think one of the MAJOR reasons people fail is that they think they can change things overnight.

It doesn't work that way, it is a whole drawn out process, sort of like a rollercoaster ride.

Might as well start enjoying the ride

Just notice what sort of negative things you tell yourself, what excuses you make to yourself, all of that, and notice when it comes up again.

True, it wont happen over night. It took me two years to get it right (doesn't mean it will take you that long)However, remember, the longer you stay off, it will be harder to come back on. Especially sugar and fats, which is highly addictive. If I have any kind of sweets for one day, I can get myself back on track, but if I eat it three or four days in a row, I have a difficult time getting back. And I don't eat junk, but I love dates (loaded with sugar).

Keep up the good work, you're doing great!
