Losing and Gaining

May 28th, 2007 at 02:36 am

I like to set goals for myself. It is amazing what you can accomplish when you set your mind to it. When I was ready to quit smoking, I finally set in my mind it was time and I did it. I set tons of goals for this year because I turned 40. Mostly this year I set health goals, gall bladder surgery, colonoscopy, etc, etc.
One of my most difficult goals (besides money!) is losing weight. (Like many of my buddies on this site!) So I finally started the change two weeks ago, but to set a trend I can stick with. I chose the low carb way, but I don't "deprive" myself either. It will be slow, but hopefully steady. We sure have been eating at home more! The weight loss has been slow, but the actual fat I'm losing is great! The pants are getting bigger! I don't have any weight goal in mind, just to lose until I feel comfortable and then maintain it.
As for gaining - that is my debt. We are still gaining debt. I guess that will have to be my next mind challenge. It is also the 40 year old gorilla on my back. It will definatley be my hardest!

    I found the South Beach diet really helpful when I lost my pregnancy weight. I've been able to maintain fairly successfully - I've gained back a few, but was able to lose it again by reverting to Phase 1 of South Beach for 1 or 2 weeks when needed. I didn't buy any of the books either - I just got them out of the library when needed.

    Good luck - I know you can do it Smile

    I do have a specific weight goal in mind. 20 lbs. I know from the past that I feel much better at this weight 140. I don't get tired as quickly and i can move better and faster and do more. I don't eat much to start with but I don't get alot of exercise other than the chores around the house. So I plan on upping the exercise and cutting a few more calories.

    I am on the low carb diet too. I don't get hungry as fast as on other diets.
