Wow. That's all I really can say, wow. I am in absolute shock today. I cannot believe I am down 14 lbs. overall. I lost 2 lbs. this week. I think I'm in shock. I shouldn't be though. I stay within my daily points plus range, I track EVERYTHING I eat! I do not exercise, yet. It seems like every time I post, I write that I don't exercise and I really need to. So, today is going to be different. I am going to start my Jillian Michaels Body Revolution today. I was going to start this morning but I have so much to do that this afternoon will have to be soon enough.
So, today I learned some things about myself. We talked about portion control in my meeting this morning and it got me thinking. I am actually becoming a PRO at portion control, BUT what I am still missing is eating RIGHT. I still eat a lot of microwave foods or quick eats and that bothers me. Yes, I'm making better choices about my foods but I haven't improved as much as I'd like. Which got me thinking...should I completely overhaul my 'way of life' to meet WW or should I use WW to improve upon what I'm doing right now? How will it affect me in the long run? Yes, I need to eat better, I'm not naive. However, is it realistic for me to completely change how I eat right this second? Or am I better off knowing that I've been adding fruits and veggies to my diet gradually and cutting back on my portions? Is that enough? The change will come, I'm sure of it, but how quick does it need to be?
Something positive that I noticed about portions last night...we ordered pizza from Pizza Hut for the kids. Normally I would be able to scarf up three pieces, easily. Last night I had one, rested a bit (like 5 minutes, tops) and decided that while I might not "need" another piece, it was tasty enough that I'd have a 1/2 more and then be done. I ate it and was STUFFED for hours afterwards. I did not need that extra 1/2 a slice. I'm so proud of myself!! Should I have eaten that extra 1/2 slice? Probably not, but now I recognize that three slices is ridiculous when a simple, one slice is perfectly fine for me! In the future? I'll make sure to have a salad right next to me. That will do just fine!
