Healthy Weight Loss

Gemme · 12-18-2012, 01:45 PM

Coffee's also a diuretic, so your body will appreciate not having that zap of fluid, especially with dry winter air.

I've gained 2 lbs over what my 'norm' has become. Damn Christmas candy and home cooking. I wish comfort food wasn't so calorie laden. Or that I didn't crave it so badly.

We've planned our Christmas dinner and Luvs is not. helping. at. all.

So, I'm going to have to work to make sure we have salad with good fibrous greens and lots of nice steamed veggies to counterbalance all those carbs....potatoes, stuffing, rolls...!

I just can't do salads so much in winter. I love them and eat them all the time when its warmer. I grew a bunch of sweet potatoes over the summer and I've been eating these. I'm pretty much sticking to protein and veggies but love sauces and such. I love roasting veggies too.

I'm not really loseing much at the moment,I had gotten back down to 255 when I got the last back injection in november so I picked up a a couple of pounds.What i've noticed is my body is compacting in lots of places back,legs,butt and chest plus lots of arm muscels and upper back from diffrent exersises with weights.AS many crunchies,sit ups,power leg lifts i'm not loseing as much as I would like in the old gut...bugs the crap out of me for shure..I am doing cardio nearly every day of some kind.My pcp wanted mt to go on this diet of 750 calories or less wich I told her I would have more problems if I did that is why I dont cut my intake down so low.I tryed it once and had lots of blood sugar problems along with near total wipe outs that left me sicker than a dog.I'm on high protine,veggies as much as I want of the right kind,some fruit spareingly,water till i'm sick of water so I put some lemon juice in it to give it some taste or use cristal light.I do have a couple of diet sodas a day and often dont drink all of them.What I do have is way mopre energy and stamana to do what I need to do so I know something is working.

I've decided to be realistic, and make my goal to stay under that 200 lb. threshhold over the holidays.

Also, to make sure that I eat healthy, and limit sweets. I am not completely restricting myself though....because I need to live like this for the rest of my life, and don't care to make my holidays miserable.

So far, so good.....196 and holding.
