Yesterday went well. I did the treadmill twice for 30 minutes both times. I also ate really good. I have noticed that I am eating out of habit or boredom.
There is a new guy at work and he talked about "eating clean" and how he has lost 60 lbs and his wife has been successful also. That has also helped give me new inspiration. I think my biggest inspiration is that my jeans are fitting tight and buying new jeans is not an option. Buying any larger clothes are not an option. I know how not be overweight, I just need to put it into practice. These pounds I have put back on show me how insane I can be. What is crazy is that it has not been meat and dairy. It has been oil and refined flours. Sure I have had some meat, but not nearly as much as I did a year ago. It has been the breads, chips and candy. Nuts also, way too many nuts. Nuts are off the list as is all processed flours.
I woke up early and did the treadmill for 30 minutes and did 15 push-ups and 15 sit-ups. I am off to a good start. I also had a bowl of oatmeal with banana. No honey. I am going to lay off the honey also. I am going to eat like I did a year ago, plus I am going to really evaluate why I am putting something in my mouth. Is it because I am hungry or bored. I am really going to focus on waiting until I am hungry to eat and to stop when full. I find myself eating lots, because I can if that makes any sense.
Pretty simple stuff, eat when hungry, stop when full.
So that is my plan. Not a new plan. I am updating my weight to 221.6 pounds. That is what the scale said this morning. I am also going to start getting on the scale again. I would rather be obsessed with the scale than trying to squeeze into my jeans. Heck, one of these days these jeans should be baggy. I can and will be fit and trim.
