Day 17

Happy Monday! I wish my enthusiasm for losing weight was as apparent as my good mood.  I need new ideas for recipes for lunch and dinner, because I find myself snacking when I should be consuming a healthier meal.  So, I'm going to take a few hours today scouring the internet, looking for tasty vegetarian meals.  I know...you say why vegetarian.  Well, I have a friend who only eats those meals and he's in perfect health, and has mad energy throughout the day.

If you have any recipe ideas, please send them to me via my blog.

Have a great week all!!!  

Day 10

I can't say that it's been a long journey because I just started.  But I can say it's been interesting.  After coming off a fantastic weekend: my team won (Go 49ers) and we had a great Sunday dinner at AK's house.  Anytime I eat on Sundays I always overeat, so I had to make up for it by getting on the treadmill today.  It wasn't as bad as I initially thought, but I AM tired.

I talked to a friend yesterday who suggested that I consume 2 glasses of water before and after each meal.  I thought it was a grand idea and will be trying it out today.  This blog is more than just a weight-loss dairy; it's a motivational tool for those days that I just want to stay in the bed and watch TV.  But those days are gone now -- bye bye fat, Hello health.  

Day 3

So eating cereal for three meals-a-day didn't work: I need substance.  So I'm eating four smaller meals a day, and I track those meals on an app called Noom.  I'm able to divide my meals into three colors: green, yellow, and red.  You can imagine that green are low-fat low-calorie foods, yellow are spreads and juices, and red are meats and sugary foods.  I think I have it down pack, but this Noom app also has an exercise feature.  Here's where the story takes a turn for the worse...

I haven't exercised in weeks and today I don't have time because of an almost all-day obligation.  So what's a girl to do.  Tuesday I'm going to start walking at the neighborhood park and striking out within the neighborhood after I'm done.  Hopefully, I won't see any dogs or insects to detour my attempts at wholeness.

Till then...

Day 1

Today, I have started on a weight-loss journey all too familiar to me:  I'm going to eat cereal in place of all three of my major meals.  I've tried this quest before, but never with this cereal.  If I'm cranky or overbearing, know that it's just Lyle on another one of her diets.

I must do something, because my waistline is out of shape and my blood pressure is out of wack.  So here I go...
