Healthy Weight Loss

thedivahrrrself · 06-12-2012, 11:44 AM

Joined the YWCA this morning so I can keep swimming all year long!

I'm going to buy a juicer this afternoon. I think that is the only way I'm going to incorporate more veggies into my diet. My eating habits are better, but not what they should be yet.

I noticed yesterday at breakfast that when I screw up is when I'm emotional, and I'm bound to be pretty emotional at least for a while. So, my plan is when I'm sad, go work out. When I'm lonely, go work out. Replace emotional eating with emotional swimming, or elliptical walking, or whatever.

I need to go deep within myself and fix some things. I'm hoping a lot of time alone at the gym will help me start to look inside and figure out what it is that causes me to put myself down, to care more about other people's opinions than my own, to put things off and to make bad choices, food and otherwise.

This is going to be a long journey.

Really, really, really smart.

So the pounds are just barely trickling off, but I'm happy with the decreasing belly measurement....a total of 2 inches so far.

I plugged in to shoot for losing 1.5 pounds per week, but I'm only managing 1 per week.

I'm doing pushups everyday (along with some other calisthenics), and those may be adding just enough muscle mass to slow down the appearance of weight loss.

Regardless of what it is, my primary goal is trimming down my gut; and it seems I'm definitely heading in the right direction!

I'm still loving My Fitness Pal. Thanks again to those who suggested here!
