Sorry I haven't posted anything for a while y'all. I am really a boring person and I I haven't had much to write about lately.
I have not been able to do the C25K due to my back hurting so badly. This is my never ending cycle. I need to lose weight and I know I need to work out but my back is ALWAYS the issue for me!
So new plan y'all! I have started really watching what I eat and counting calories among other things. I write everything down that I eat (which is a HUGE pain in the ass but really helpful too!) I am SHOCKED at how many calories some things have in them!!
On the other hand I am shocked at how expensive things are just because they are good for you! Fresh fruit and veggies are OUTRAGEOUS compared to what I can spend at a fast food restaurant but not as good for your!
I have found though that I do love eating fresh fruit alot!! Grapes, apples and strawberries make a wonderful snack! Don't get me wrong y'all................I AM DYING for a HUGE piece of chocolate but I am really trying here!!
I am eating a lot of protein and then the veggies and fruit. But I have to tell ya. I can only eat so much chicken..................then I am DONE!! I do love steak though so I am trying to mix it up a little. I cooked up some shrimp in some garlic today to take to work tomorrow in my salad just for something different.
I am a HUGE Meat and potatoes girl as y'all know so this is all new for me. I have never in my life cooked shrimp. I just sprayed a little cooking spray in the pan and put some garlic in there and in went the frozen shrimp. I don't mean to brag y'all but DAMN they smelled good!!!
Yesterday I tried to roasting some brussel sprouts and egg plant. I cubed up the eggplant and halved the brussel sprouts. Then I put then in the oven with some cooking spray on them and some Ms. Dash seasoning on them. I was pleasantly surprised!! The Hubs even ate it all y'all!
I just have to say, that I am a huge believer that I still should be able to eat things I enjoy! I LOVE food y'all and I should be able to live my life eating things I enjoy eating. If the only way I can be skinny is if I eat things that I don't really like......................Well I am not sure I want to be skinny!! I know what I should and shouldn't eat. And I know how much I should and shouldn't eat. But sometimes it is nice to just eat what tastes good!!
There aren't any magic pills out there that are going to make you skinny and if you think there are, you aren't being healthy! I have always said it takes hard work to be skinny. I have never been skinny so I don't know but I know when I was younger I was a lot more active so it was easier to eat whatever I wanted.
All I know now y'all is I have an ADORABLE 2 year old that needs his mommy around for a VERY long time so I am trying to do what I can to make that happen. So, if that means I eat as healthy as I can MOST of the time and slip up now and then...........so be it!
I am who I am.............take it or leave it!! I just hope you take it!! :)
Thanks for reading y'all and I promise I will try harder on posting more often! :)
