I am going for another walk around the lake with my son. I have a heart rate monitor that I use to track my proress and am burning 500 calories with each walk! makes me feel less guilty for eating foods I like. i find it harder to eat right on my day off, but I am making it work. |

I am with you. I have gained 30+ pounds since December of 2007. Back then I was riding my bicycle to work, jogging every night, and doing an ab routine and some push-ups and pull-ups. I got stuck in a rut and started to turn to food to feel better. I would eat whole packages of raw chocolate cookie dough (boy were they delicious), sometimes several a week. I finally decided that I was tired of my gut and that I was going to do something about it. I am like you and am taking baby steps to start back out. Now I take my 4mo old sons for walks around a lake, but I put him in a carrier that is attached to my chest for added weight. We go out for about 45mins 2 or 3 times a week and on the other days I am using Wii Fit to get my excercise. My biggest change though would have to be my diet. I have made a concious effort to eat healthier, but I have not cut out all of the stuff I love. I am also viewing this as a lifestyle change and less of a diet. I have reduced the amount of food I bring to work for lunch to reduce temptation to finish it all, I have started eating more meals per day, but less food each time and most importantly I haven't eliminated all of my favorites. Just the other night my wife and I ordered a large pizza and I ate over half of it, but I could do this because I had been watching my calories on CC and knew that I wasn't going to be too much over my daily goal and that my calorie expenditure for the day was already much higher than my intake. I woke up the next morning and had still lost 0.4lb from my previous weight! I considered myself lucky on that one, but really it had to do with me watching myself on all the other days and only 'cheating' once in awhile. I am slowly working to to reach my short term goals in hopes of reaching my long term goal of losing 50lbs. So far I have lost 5.4lbs and am keeping it off. |
