lose weight

I am going to lose weight in 2012. One of the things I’m going to do is to not clean my plate when I eat out. The portions are usually large so I’ll either bring some home or just leave some on the plate.

I haven’t had much success with this goal. I’m not gaining weight but I haven’t lost any either. I need to really get serious.

I’ve decided to try to really decrease the amount of salt in my diet. It’s hard because so many foods, especially processed food, have added salt. My first step is to not add salt to food. I’ve always been a “salt everything” person so it’s going to be a little difficult at first. From what I saw recently on a television show, this should help me lose weight.

I ate out way too often while I was on vacation. I need to start eating less and exercise more. It can’t be the beer can it? :)

Summer seems to be a hard time for me to lose weight. I do get out and exercise more than the winter but I also seem to eat more. And who can resist a cold beer on a hot day! I am trying to limit how many beers I drink though.

I’m going to the gym again at least 3 times a week. I didn’t go much during the summer and it showed in my weight. I’d like to lose at least 15 pounds by the end of the year.

I haven’t made much progress lately but I’m still trying. I have to cut down on eating and drinking on weekends. Even cutting out 1 beer should help. And I need to ride my bike more often.

I was doing good but lately I’ve gained back a few of the pounds I lost. Weekends are the killer for me. I’m just going to have to watch what I eat more when I eat out.

I have made some progress on this recently. I’ve lost at least 8 pounds. I’m thinking of joining a gym since I can’t bike in the winter.

I’ve made some progress towards this goal. I’ve been riding my bike every day and really paying attention to what I eat. I’ve also started to drink more water and less soda which should help.
I’ve been drinking less beer too. I’ve been trying to limit beers to the weekend when I go out and then I’m not having as many.
