Health Update 1

I am making the transaction from updating my weight loss, which wasn’t happening. I am taking a different approach to it.

Health Update

I have decided to go with a Health Update where I am not focused on my weight. If I was I just would get discouraged and go on an emotional eating binge.

Changed my ways

I have tried to do a lot of things to lose weight and become more healthy, but nothing seems to work. I started to eat under 2,000 calories. It somewhat helped, then I would go out and eat at Chilis, or Chinese. Then that was shot to hell.

I started to make commitments and I followed through with the commitments. Here is what I started to do

Walk for 30 min a day
No chips
- I love chips
No candy
- Ugh, candy, I love
Add 7,000 or more steps a day.
- Hard to do some days
Eat under 2,000 calories
Text a friend to see if I did it.

Walking isn’t a problem unless it is cold or snowing. I mean under 20 degrees outside. If there is snow on the ground, I don’t want to slip and fall on the ice and hurt myself or worse, break or do something to my ankles. I have had both of my ankles in a cast at one point in time.

Chips–

I love to eat chips, like salt-n-vinegar my Favorite, or barbeque chips. So I had to give them up I was eating way too much of them. I mean a bag at a time. I know it sucks.

Candy—

I love candy, it doesn’t matter what it is I like it. I could eat a whole bag of M&M’s I mean the family sharing size. It is bad for me. You know sugar levels.

Steps —

Since I work from home, it is hard for me to get steps in, But I walk at night and I have to sometimes walk longer than the 30 minutes to get in the steps.

Calories —

I changed up the way I eat, it is hard, but it will be worth it. I am eating and I am staying under the 2,00 limit.

Text a friend —

If you have the accountability to some other than your spouse, then it makes you want to do it more.
