So I've been thinking a lot lately about food and portions. What a stressful subject. I know I eat right. I eat a lot of fruits and a good amount of veggies. I know that is the right thing for me. After the live foods I get a bit confused. How much protein do I really need? What's the right source of protein? What carbs and how much of it do I need? what are some good grain options? Ugh! It's a nightmare.
I'm also going back and forth about should I re-join Weight Watchers or not? I'm not too into the idea of joining Weight Watchers. While I was successful on the plan the weekly meetings and weigh in are a bit depressing. I don't care about the number on the scale. I care about how I feel in my clothes and how I look. I also have a hard time listening to other people's food problems. A lot of times it's not the same problems that I have and it's not helpful. I do enjoy talking about recipes or low fat options. But it's not worth the monthly fee and the stress of having to add something else to my calendar.
I am still into the idea of doing something that works for me. I want to learn how to eat right so that I can stay at a comfortable size. I've been thinking that I always set reasonable goals when I'm wanting to lose weight. Like I'll say I want to lose 25 pounds by next summer. Of course, I can do that but it's such a long term goal. I feel like I've set myself up for failure when I do that because I become bored and lose committed. I've been thinking that maybe it's time to shake things up for myself and really challenge myself. So I set a really hard goal. It's not impossible it's just very difficult. I'm not trying to lose an unhealthy amount per week.
I've decided that I'm going to try and lose XX pounds by Labor Day. I'm not going to say the number because it doesn't matter. I know what the number is but I won't type it. I'm not going to weigh myself either. I'm going to solely do it on measuring myself and seeing how my clothes fit. I'm a bit excited about this challenge. It's going to require a lot of working out and eating right. I will keep my readers posted on my results!
