After being referred to the Kim Benson website (through an Amazon recommendation and I would love to get her book!) I was reminded how important it is to be fully committed to losing weight. I have recently been participating in the Curves Weight Management Program for about a month now and lost close to 10 pounds. The past week was a little off since I was sick and eating an abnormally high amount of cabs (like bagels!). But I am going to get back on the bandwagon this week.
Good things so far:
- Although I did not exercise last week (again...being sick) I did clean the house on Saturday and help stain the deck on Sunday (which was exhausting)
- Planned my meals out for the next week
- Will be exercising at Curves three times this week (starting tonight!)
- So far I have stayed on track today!
It has been very hard not to eat all the candy in the house (for the trick-a-treaters of course!) and the Grandma's Cookies that Jason's mom gave to us. Very bad indeed.
I am very inspired by Kim Benson. She is a weight watchers leader and struggled with many weight ups and downs throughout the years to finally reach her goal weight. She too writes a blog and I plant to read it for inspiration. I would also like to get her book (autographed copy from the website!).
It is definitely a lot easier to stay on track while at work when I bring my food and snacks. I have (pat on the back) done a good job with staying away from food brought into the office by co-workers. The hardest time for me is after dinner when I am relaxing or watching TV especially when there are plenty of chips and snacks that Jason eats that are nearby. The food is so close at hand and so tempting to eat. It is near impossible. I am normally consumed by a constant inner argument to stay away. Hopefully tonight will be a little better.
Well, I can only hope and plan for the best today.
