I have been losing by...

Tuesday, October 09, 2012

mostly cutting my carbs! Simple as that.

I know that FOR ME, too many carbs = fatso jenny so what i am doing is cutting out most of my carbs. Most not completely all. I will have a 1/2 cup of rice or one slice of wheat bread but not much more than that. Also i know not all carbs are the same..some are more important to avoid like white bread, bagels, pastries.

I've also cut out sugar. Mostly in my coffee and I try not to have sweets or if i do just one piece. Desserts i'll have mainly on weekends and share with someone.

I am very happy that these changes are coming to me very naturally and not at all like i'm depriving myself. Of course my cravings are waaay less and fewer than they were at first.
I just know that for the rest of my life I can't keep eating carbs and sugar the way i used to and satisfy my sweet tooth whenever the craving hit. And you know what, IT AINT THAT HARD!

At first i was very strict and cut off all carbs and sugar. I had lots of success losing very fast but I know that carbs are important and you need some everyday so i decided to add some and i still have been doing very well. So i am encouraged to keep at it.

Now i eat more veggies, drink more water and am eating much healthier.

    emoticon emoticon so proud of you Jenny! See, it wasn't that HARD!! You said it yourself! I'm so happy for you and to see your transformation not only physically but mentally-which plays a big role bc if we are motivated to make changes we will see results!!!

Keep up the good work! emoticon emoticon

Today I saw the doctor since the surgery and I'm healing very well and after Monday I got clearance to resume my workouts so I'm mentally preparing myself to get back on track! My eating has been well, good in that department but resuming back to my workouts has been quite challenging! We shall see!

How are you doing w/ your workouts?

    Carbs and sugar are my problem too!!
It really is amazing how the cravings go away when you get rid of the "bad" stuff.
