I'm a real Mom with real weight loss issues. I have 4 kids under 9, I don't work, I eat Mac and Cheese for lunch with my kids. I bus my kids all over town for Scouts, Gymnastics, Baseball, Pre-School, Piano...etc. I get up every day at 6:15 and go go go all day till I crash around 11:00. I'm only able to sneak in about 30-60 mins of exercise a day. I do have a free gym membership but money is tight and they don't have free kids room so I don't go. I am able to walk my dog most nights when my hubby is home so there is that.
I could easily say, what's wrong with me. I do all I do but I still don't lose like I want to. So it all comes down to Portion Control and eating the right food. I have to WORST sweet tooth in the world. I LOVE sugar. But I want to replace that sweet desire with a healthy desire. And I don't mean carrots and apples. I mean running, biking, hiking, swimming, in line skating...MOVING! I love to exercise, but I need something different every day.
So that's my goal this week. Try something new everyday, oh! And Ab work, that definitely needs to be in there.
You had my idea. I will probably still create a blog. At least we can support each other. For your sugar cravings I would recommend not cutting out your sweets. You will just end up bingeing. Just moderate them. Instead of a large brownie, cut one in half. I do a lot better if I don't cut it out completely. Also, make sure you are getting your protein. That helps me.
