Weight Loss Mission
The holidays crunched me, or rather expanded me a bit more than I would like. I really wish when I stepped on the scale I saw 126.4lbs. That isn’t so much the case. I really only have about 20lbs to lose to feel comfortable again, but I’d be happy with a bit more.
I’ve never much been one to watch what I eat. I love food! But over the holidays I noticed that it was getting me into a bit of trouble weight wise. So I started paying attention to how much I ate, which helped. We also got a Wii, and while I don’t have Wii fit (yet!) - Wii Outdoor Challenge and Wii Sports have kept me fairly active lately. This in addition to watching how much I eat, has helped a lot. I’ve also increased my water intake which has kept me from being as hungry. All of these small measures are helping in small ways, but I’m ready to see a more significant difference while still enjoying food, because after all, as I mentioned -I love food!
My newest endeavor is to really watch how I am preparing food. Less salt, less fat, etc. The recipes on here won’t change too much, and I will always share my favorites as I always have, but I am going to also share a few recipes that are of a lighter fare as well. I just realize that eating healthy is so important, and I want to make a difference not only in my own life, but my kids’ lives too. Do you have any resolutions this year?
I got a Wii Fit and Outdoor Challenge for Christmas and it has been my goal to spend just ten minutes a day on my Wii Fit. Has it works so far? No. The past couple of days I’ve been pretty busy. But, I haven’t given up on the goal.
It sounds dorky, but the Wii has actually increased my daily activity level! Outdoor Challenge is fun, but I suggest getting the Wii Fit. It’s a blast.
