move it monday.
...that thinks chocolate molten cake at Chilis tastes a lot better than a bowl of veggies? ugh.
What do you love to eat that is healthy, too? I need ideas! (tell me in the comments)
I'm so back on this Move it Monday thing! I've been wanting to get back into a routine and hoping that I would get the bug. I did get out and get moving this morning on a 40 minute walk with a few sprints thrown in to make me feel like I was getting my heart rate up. When I got back I unpacked my free weights and did a few strength training exercises on my arms. Yay!
Now...as you can see (above) from mydailyplate.com today and yesterday I have some big time work to do in the eating department. Hello! I've eaten enough fat today for an entire week. Why does food have to taste so good...especially the fattening food? Why can't the healthy food taste that good?
Here's to getting down to my target weight of 115lbs. That means losing 40 pounds. Yes, you read that right. Forty Pounds. I mean it. By March 1st I'm going to make it happen. Is everyone still with me?
I'm still going with the plan of being consistent. Eat less, put less on my plate, and then leave a little there. Exercise at least 20 minutes every day, and no eating after 7pm (I'm totally guilty of sitting at my computer working and eating). And just thinking about how I can get moving. (No more asking my kids to run upstairs and grab something for me...I'll just bring my own squishy butt upstairs and get it myself....)
it's time.
fit. LIFE.

I can definetely say that losing weight and staying motivated is not the easiest thing i have ever done, but I am getting up in the mornings and going to the gym for about 30 minutes. I think I have lost about 2 pounds and my goal is to lose 10 more! Good luck on reaching your goals! You are awesome!
Chocolate cake and ice cream is such a good combination! And that cake is certainly a pretty dessert.
Davina my goal is 118. That's 40 lbs too. Just started running again. March sounds like a great goal. I like to toast a wheat english muffin cut it up in triangles and have a little hummus on the side. Another good one for this time of year is butternut squash put in the oven and then pulled out and sprinkle with (a little) brown sugar and non fat butter. Plain yogurt and fruit.. obviously my snacks have to be easy for them to work for me :)
I like to munch on the Light Fat Free Pringles. They are delicious and only like 80 cals for a stack of 14 chips!
Amanda, way to go on getting up and working out for 30 minutes every day. As I've said before I think it's so key to just stay consistent and over the long run you'll have permanent weight loss because you've changed your relationship with food and exercise. Awesome!
Joann, Oh! Don't I agree! There has got to be a good tasty alternative that's healthy and less fat. Please!
Ingrid, thanks so much for the yummy tips. I'm going to have to try those. And we can do this! I want to lose 40 pounds. How does 40 pounds happen anyway? It mystifies me.
Shanda, oooo...light fat free pringles. I'm so hooked on chips with lunch sandwich that I need something. this will be a great alternative. thanks!
I just adore you!! And NO you are not the only one who thinks the chocolate cake is better than the veggies! Why is life so cruel like that?! I'm super proud of you for how committed you are...you are an inspiration to us all my love!!

I love this. I am finding sleep to be lovely these days. Forget the chocolate cake, I am now a chocolate isagenix protein shake girl! But a ganache can be delicious after you have shed some pounds. Really delicious!
