It has been a whole week since I started the Skinny Rules by Bob Harper. I was really excited about starting the program and it turned out to be a great thing. Mind you I am still working on some of the rules but I followed a majority of them. I felt better that first day, all the junk or most of it out of my system.
So what were the results? Well, a 4.8 lb LOSS! I was so happy and speechless when I got on the scale this morning. The coolest thing ever. I plan to continue to keep on going with the plan since it is working well for me. I hope to hit my first goal relatively soon, maybe even before the end of the month!
Here is to another awesome week!
Howdy all!
I just looked at my blog and it has been almost 2 months since I have posted anything. Say what? So here I am, resurrected, back from the reality of things letting you all know I am still around. Thanks Amy for pushing me to jump back into it.
It is amazing how stressful teaching is and trying to keep a normal life outside of school.
As you know from following my blog, I have tried a bunch of different meal plans and have struck out on every single one. So, I am giving it one final shot with one that I stumbled across thanks to my friend Arlene. After reading it I totally loved it and was all on board for it.
It is called 'Skinny Rules' by Bob Harper. In the book he lays out rules that you must follow in order to succeed in losing weight. Some of them are no brainers, others I had to think about. Like for example, rule #13, get rid of fast foods and fried foods, that is an easy one! I follow a majority of them and have no problems but there are some that I know I am going to struggle with.
This month I am focusing on some of the rules I know I will struggle with. I am going to focus on Rule #1, making sure I have a glass of water right after getting out of bed in the morning is tough but this morning I had my glass right there on the nightstand which was good.
#12 is going to be a tough one because I do not eat fish, so I have decided to go the bean route and hopefully that will work. I know Bob stresses seafood but I cannot get myself to eat fish.
Lastly, #18, who goes to bed hungry? I have never done that before but to make a point of it, is an interesting concept. I think I am going to have to move my time for the kitchen being closed from 8pm to 7:30pm and see how that goes.
So what gives me hope that this plan may work? Well, after day 1 and trying all the food that I prepared, I really enjoyed it especially the Italian Turkey Burgers. Most of all though, while reading the book, and he highly encouraged GREEK YOGURT my attention was officially grabbed. Many of the diets I had tried discouraged dairy and greek yogurt but I know that is a staple for me and my life so to be encouraged to eat it, I am all about it!
Here I go, the next month I am going to change my eating habits, get back to exercising and recommit to changing my life. No more being unhappy for gaining weight and not fitting in my clothes. Here is t getting back under 200 and getting out of these 16 pants again and never looking back!
Stay tuned because this is a journey you are not going to want to miss!
I have really missed blogging and it has been far too long. Amazing how the summer has just gone right past me and I have not even blinked!
To recap the craziest summer of my life...
End of June- Went to Florida
July 3rd- Got a 2nd grade teaching job! Yay!
July- August 11th- Looking for an apartment, packing my bedroom, unpacking in my classroom
And lots of other things in between. Tomorrow I am leaving for a week and a half and by the time I get back home it will be moving day which is August 30th!!
School starts September 2nd!
Went to get a physical today and the scale registered at 211 lbs. While there are some other factors like my period, clothing and it being the middle of the day, this number is completely unacceptable. I rang in the New Year at 179 lbs. Go ahead and say holy crap, I certainly have..
For those who are mathematically illiterate, that is a whopping 32 lbs less than I currently weigh now.
Yep, I did that, I am the loser who let my knee injury get the best of me and say screw it all. But here I am back in the saddle. I started TurboFire again today and will be following that through for the next 4 months. I am determined to get back to 179 and continue my journey. I want to make it to 25 and be at a happy weight.
So here is to all the wonderful new things that are happening in life, and here is to my health! Cheers!
