As you could probably tell from the frequency of my posts and what I have had to say in my posts so far, I have not been doing so hot at this 50-in-50 plan. I FINALLY am done with my job. I feel like a new woman. I have more energy, more time to plan my life, and time to think. It's amazing.
It's led to all sorts of wonderful things, one of which is healthier eating and more time for exercising!! As I said a few weeks ago (or a month? I don't know...), I needed a re-boot. And I got it. :)
I feel like I'm my old self... I will be back with more regular posts and goals. Right now I am just detoxing and eating all my veggies and drinking all my water and MOVING. I am walking a 5K this weekend for the CROP Hunger Walk, and am going to work out a plan for my weights and sit-ups, etc. every evening. Anyone have recommendations on this? I used to just use my hand weights to do various arm exercises during commercials at night, and switch that up with crunches/sit-ups.
Thankfully, when I got on the scale the other day, I learned that I did not gain weight through all the craziness of the past month. So I don't have any ground to make up - just continuing on my journey. :)
The key for me is PLANNING. Here is this week's meal plan:
M-camp stew - with light/fat-free soups
T-a frozen fish/rice meal from Trader Joe's (Tuesdays are always a "free" night b/c hubby normally works late)
W-Greek style pork
Th-tortellini/ravioli (spinach filled) & mainly (for me) SALAD
Fri-taco salad
Sat-leftover buffet/mini appetizer-type things
Sun-I think I'll roast a chicken? or make chicken soup.
Look at that - NO TAKE OUT!! :) I'll work on coming up with healthier stuff for next week. Goal #1 was eating at home, rather than single-handedly supporting our local restaurants. :) Done.
I am a little discouraged that I'm 2 months in and have pretty much nothing to show for this whole thing, but I know that I can do anything I put my mind to, so I just have to PUT MY MIND TO THIS. :)
