AFTER VIEWING THE PICTURES OF ME, I snagged a few and will use them in my FAT ALBUM hopefully to encourage me to eat clean and stay focused. I already know full well that I am OBESE and have been for some time now... sigh. Though I have maintained a 30 pound loss since 2021, I am way too heavy. Way too heavy and I hate this.
My outer shell does define me. It does, because the health issues that come with it don't lie and they affect me in the most serious way. I can talk up a storm about it shouldn't matter how large I am, yada, yada, yada, but at the end of the day, the way I feel doesn't lie to me. I have to accept that I DO NOT FEEL WELL. I know I am obese.
My weight loss journey has been a long one. At times I know I am stuck for the present. I continue on. Keeping sugar out of my diet is a must. I fail at times, but pick up where I left off. I have to eat clean and embrace that there is no substitute that's better for me.
Mounjaro gave me extreme cramps and caused serious constipation. I decided it wasn't for me and I'd need to return to eating nutritionally dense foods and drink good old water period. 🏋 Exercise more, 🛌 sleep well, 🚭 no smoking, 🍺 no alcohol, 💉no recreational drugs, 🥗 portion control, 🙏 pray. God, help me to not be lazy.
I'm to weigh myself on Mondays. I did. My scales are not the same as what is used at the doc's office. I will go by what my scale says. 4 pounds lighter after eating more veggies and protein. I need some carbs and will try really hard to eat these in the morning.
Here we go.
Breakfast will be oatmeal with blueberries and slivered almonds. A little bit of milk and cinnamon. Water to drink plus tea afterwards. OR scrambled eggs with veggies and toast. Squeeze some fruit in here.
Lunch will be the big meal of the day with protein and veggies.
Supper should be the same.
Snacks should be a serving of fruit.
Water and tea for beverages.
GOAL: POUNDS TO LOSE THIS YEAR...58 of 'em.
WALKING was my exercise of choice until February when my hip rebelled. Tis still my exercise of choice, but the body is screaming with pain. I am waiting for the hip to be better, if ever. Chiropractic treatment number 3 is coming. Icing the hip, Ibuprofen, heat, rest throughout the day. I am not good at this waiting until better. I am better in the sense that I can stand to walk and the pain isn't as intense. This is a plus.
I WILL USE HAND WEIGHTS STARTING NOW. Keeping it simple and that's that. Food alone isn't going to do it all for me. Know what I mean, Vern?
