Ok, until I posted this group, I thought that I was the only one struggling to get out of the 190s. However, I have realized that there are several others in the same trap. I have been asking myself why? Is it because we do not exercise enough? Is it because we eat too much?? Are our bodies just comfortable here?
I know for myself, I have exercised more in the past 4 months than I have in the past 2 years. So, I have come to the conclusion that mine has to be calories consumed!! I will just go through the drive through today for a large coke - what will it hurt? I will get fries with my happy meal today - what will it hurt? I am going to cave into my chocolate cravings with a snickers, what will it hurt?
Obviously, it has stopped me from breaking free from the 190s! My goal is to conquer this once and for all! So I have made a few plans of what I am going to do!
#1 I am going to log into MFP every single day! It is way too easy to “forget” about our mission for a week or two or even longer!
#2 No more regular pop at all!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER NEVER NEVER
#3 Slowly get myself down to one diet pop per day
#4 Make sure that I get a min. of 30 minutes of cardio exercise 5 days per week ---but going to AIM at atleast an hour!
#5 Weigh daily (I know that a lot of people say this is a big NO NO - However, for me, I feel like it helps me stay on track and I deeply believe that everyone is different and we have to do what works for us.
What are you going to do?????
