Hestia74 is building up on my FLYlady routines...

Untitled 2 weeks ago

Until I have my baby and go through the post-partum phase, I can’t think of losing weight. But I do have a plan. Right now I’m exercising (mostly walking) so I don’t gain too much weight during my pregnancy. However, I am not restricting myself from eating when I want to. The baby needs the calories

Sunday 5/3 2 months ago

I woke up and jogged for thirty minutes!

Hopefully my refrigerator motivation board will help me stay motivated. I added a picture of how I want to look so I have a visual reminder of why I’m trying to change my eating and exercising behavior.

I also added this quote from P.T. Barnum:

“Whatever you do, do it with all your might, work at it early and late, in season and out of season, not leaving a stone unturned, and never deferring for a single hour that which can be done just as well now.



Making things change 2 months ago

I dressed up my fridge today with things that help remind me that I should exercise at least 30 minutes per day and what my diet should be.

I decided to use information on from WebMD to help me make exercising a habit. http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/guide/exercise-habits

Once I have made “little things” like walking or jogging a part of my exercise routing, then I will consider joining a gym.

I decided to use the “Biggest Loser Diet” to help me make better decisions about what I’m eating. I have this information posted on the refrigerator:

The 4-3-2-1 Pyramid
Outline of the meal guide for Biggest Loser (found here: http://www.transportamerica.com/pdf/Wellness_biggest_loser_diet.pdf )
The “Fridge Size Portion Control Guide” (from WebMD: http://img.webmd.com/dtmcms/live/webmd/consumer_assets/site_images/media/pdf/diet/portion-control-guide.pdf )

My ultimate goal is to be 180 lbs and slim and trim.



More fruits and vegetables 2 months ago

Getting suggestions from my chiropractor(s):

- Eat a fruit or a vegetable just before a meal, and waiting 10 minutes to see if I’m still hungry
- Eat more soup (time to start tracking this goal here again?)



progress 3 months ago

so everyone knows about the freshman fifteen. well when I came home from school last week I went to the doctor. I hadn’t been since Christmas break. I found out I had lost 15 pounds! people had been telling me I looked smaller but I didn’t believe it until then. I haven’t been dieting I think just the walk to and from school is helping me burn the weight off. this is encouraging!
