For starters, I am challenging myself to blog on my progress, frustrations, and accomplishments every day. Even if it's a paragraph. I like feeling accountable to something, and blogging seems to be more enticing than journaling.
Secondly, I am adapting a "clean foods" diet for at least two weeks. This isn't a gimmicky cleanse, but my approach to cutting out processed and unhealthy foods. Dairy is a must to cut out because I'm lactose intolerant, but I don't always avoid dairy like I should. I'm going to try gluten because it's another common allergen.
Have you tried any "cleanses" or "detox" diets before? How did they go?
I haven't gotten to the point of eliminating dairy and gluten and sugar yet but I'm trying to cut down a lot and work out a lot more to lose this stress weight I've gained since having Jonas and trying to finish school and then working at a ridiculous job. So far my biggest motivation has been the My Fitness Pal app. It's been so helpful to me having a solid idea of how much I'm eating and how much I need to eat/not eat to lose the weight. It's fun, too, to enter my workouts and then see my calorie allotment go up! Keep blogging! I've missed it. :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the stress weight. That's exactly what this extra weight on me is! I've tried apps to track myself, but I have a hard time remembering to enter everything for some reason. I'll look into that one though, thanks :)
