The Tortoise's Weigh: WID

Saturday, April 16, 2011

WID

Yep, it is Saturday again. Oh right, this was a short WID (Weigh In Day) week for me since I weighed in on Monday (due to the mini-vacation).
The results...down another 2 pounds. Yay! That brings me to 22 pounds in 12 weeks.

I find myself wanting the weight to go away faster. I find my mind thinking "just eat less and you will lose faster". I have to keep reminding myself that it took a long time to gain the weight. I also have to remind myself that eating less to lose faster is what has typically ended all previous attempts. I will keep doing what I am doing.

I am The Tortoise. Slow and steady will result in winning this battle. That is The Tortoise's Weigh.

See you on Menu Item Monday.

What you're doing is AWESOME!Congratulations on another great week behind you!

Even at 4 years of this transition (and 2 years at goal), I *still* have to remind myself not to panic and cut too drastically if the scale bounces up a couple of pounds. :)

My Food Plan - 5,4,3,2,1

My plan is simple and easy to follow, all you have to do is remember numbers (yes, and count calories).

You get:
500 calories for one meal (dinner, for me)
400 calories for one meal (lunch for me)
300 calories for one meal (breakfast for me)
200 calories for one snack (morning snack for me)
100 calories for one snack (afternoon snack for me)

Try to eat something every 2-3 hours throughout the day.
For me, breakfast is at 9, snack at 11, lunch at 1, snack at 3 and dinner around 5:30-6.
Mix it up any way that works for you.

I do incorporate fruit and vegetables into these somewhere, somehow (fruit cups in light syrup, vegies and dip, etc.)
Drink lots of water!
I gave up diet sodas which seems to have had the effect of reducing my hunger.
