So it's almost been a month since I started to do my whole weight loss thing. As I said though I'm not going to keep this updated everyday, because honestly I don't have the motivation nor the dedication to write on here everyday. I AM going to at least write every other week dependent on if I think I have a decent blog. Which I think today might be one of those "decent" blog days. Again I'm going to keep it short and try not to ramble on too much. Let's face it my random ramblings can get quite boring after a good 2 minutes.
So as stated in the title I am on day 28 of 180. To me this is a huge success because as stated above I'm not good with motivation and dedication type things. BUT, I feel I got something going on here. I've completed a month with exercising at least 6 times a week. I will admit though it's been difficult for me because there are so many things that you might think is healthy. Lets take to example your going to Applebee's for their 2 for 20 deal. On the menu you might see: Chicken Penne, Ribs, Chicken Tenders, Chicken Bruschetta, Fiesta Chicken, etc. You are now thinking that the Chicken Penne, Chicken Bruschetta, and Fiesta Chicken are probably going to be the most healthy. Though sorry to break it to you they are not... The Chicken Penne is full of carbs due to the noodles, not only that but Alfredo Sauce is made mostly of cheese and melted butter :) mmmmm That screams fat right there. Now you ask what about the Chicken? Well theres about 10 small pieces of chicken on the top that are grilled and good for you. Low in calories and what not, but are you really going to survive off of 10 small cuts of Chicken? No your not...
So trying to eat healthy for weight loss is extremely tricky. I've basically cut out eating out from my vocabulary, there is nothing healthy to eat out. Saddest thing is the most healthy thing I have found so far are the side salads on the McDonalds dollar menu... Everything else you might as well make at home.
Now there are a couple things you can do when you do want to eat something like Ice Cream. Which again is high in Calories and sugar and all sorts of fattening shit like Cream. I would suggest buying yourself some real fruit or frozen, some Yogurt, and a freezer. I like to blend that shit up and put in the freezer for frozen yogurt. Or if your absolutely lazy there is always SubZero Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt places where you can get decent frozen yogurt for outrageous prices.
So the past 28 days I lost about 9 pounds, until I bought a electric scale then I only lost 5, but my analog scale reads different so I'm going to go with the 9 pounds. I did this mostly by working on the Elliptical for 20-30 minutes a day. Trying to workout first thing in the morning. Watching my calorie intake, and drinking again lots and lots of tea, which kinda started this whole thing.
Anyway that's really all I have for today. Maybe eventually when I start to look thinner I will put up some before and after shots :D
