A New Fat Plan
6:59 PM Edit This 1 Comment »
Because the one I've been on ain't workin'! Before the miscarriage I was pretty good at getting my behind to the Y. I had stopped tracking points and "watching" what I was eating. After the miscarriage all hell broke loose. I stopped going to the Y and I ate everything that would fit into my mouth. Needless to say I've gained a couple pounds. Oh all right, I've gained several pounds. I'm to the point where I look in my closet and think I have nothing to wear. This is of course not true. I've got plenty of clothes to wear, it's just that I'm not comfortable in them any more. So after my weigh-in last week (I have been consistently weighing my self. Just didn't post it the past two weeks because I'm embarrassed.), I decided I needed a new fat plan. My friend LH and I are trying to come up with a fat plan together. We both know what we need to do it's just motivating ourselves to do it.
In the past I've always started with "watching" what I eat, be it counting calories, points, protein, etc..... Working out never seemed to really make it's way into the picture. This past summer was really the most I've probably exercised since high school (I used to be an athlete believe it or not). This time my plan is to focus on exercise. I of course will be watching what I eat, but to start no counting nothing! My goal for this week is to go to the Y at least three times and walk on the treadmill for at least 30 minutes. As time goes I will build on my amount of times and minutes.
To be honest with you I'm not real excited about this, but I know it needs to be done. Here in Indiana there is a commercial that shows the artery of a 32 year old person who smokes. They squeeze the fatty deposit out of it. Supposedly cigarettes cause the fatty deposit. I give the hubby a hard time about him smoking and how that artery could be his. I've now realized that I have absolutely no room to talk because my arteries probably look the same, but not from smoking. So, here's to a new fat plan!
OH OH OH!!! I found the commercial on YouTube. You can watch it here, but I'm warning you it's gross.

Okay...YOU GO GIRL!
The new "fat" plan sounds like a good one.
Since coming back from Vacation I have really let myself go and I am starting to feel it. Just like you I am no longer comfy in my clothes and really want to start wearing sweat pants.
I also have to say EWWWWW to the commercial. Honestly, I don't know what compelled me to watch it, but ewwww.
Good luck again and don't forget....Starting in January the Discovery Channel's National Health Body Challenge starts again. I love some of the features they use and they also give a free 8 week membership to a Bally's Gym.
Check it out.
