When I lost my job in January, I was energized with the thought that NOW I would be able to exercise and focus on my body. I was certain the pounds would just fall off of me. Of course, that didn't happen, in fact I now weigh MORE than I did when I left work. I am back to working and frustrated by the fact that most of my clothes don't really fit anymore (and NOT because they are too big). I am sure that is common for many of us... we REALLY think THIS time we are going to lose the weight. I just can't believe it when I think back at how many times I was certain I was going to lose it - but never did.
I really hope now is my time. I have learned a few things. It is not just about how much I eat - it is more about what I eat. I need to really reduce and work towards eliminating sugar. I love it... candy, desserts... I love it. I need to reduce my carb intake and increase my vegetables and protein. I need a food diary to keep myself honest.
I just bought The Firm Express. I did the firm workouts years ago - and they were great. This is much shorter and hopefully still as effective. I heard about them at 3am a couple days ago when I couldn't sleep.
Speaking of sleep... that is the other huge one on my list. I think it is a huge factor in weight loss... So, 10:30pm is my goal to be in bed every night.
It's time... really it is.
