weightloss update

Its been awhile since I've blogged and even longer since I've blogged abt weightloss.

4 months into 2010--somehow I've managed to lose 10 lbs for someone who can't go walking, or work out or anything.
Just now starting to be able to do a few things I couldn't do before. Falling off the wagon into eating whatever is bound to happen. But I think water and being careful with what you eat DOES pay off even if you can't excersize.

I fell off and ate whatever, even resorted to drinking vanilla cream dr peppers. So imagine my awe when I got on the scale in March at the drs office.

Its been a hard couple of months physically. I'm ready to get back into the swing of things, but one step at a time--slowly.
Got a therapist that makes sure I don't rush into things I'm not ready for. At one point I thought I was ready to walk---I swear I saw him grimace--hiding that doubtful look. I got permission to do 5 mins---but within a day after asking, I realized I wasn't ready. So haven't attempted it.

Now, I'm ready. Gonna attempt the treadmill at the gym later today---Im excited over even just five mins. I know it doesnt sound like much but for me----I know five mins is gonna be alot.

I cant walk in walmart just yet. Tried to the other day, just to get the kiddo some socks---I didnt die when I got out but i was grimacing. Something to do with the floors. I can walk outside or on a treadmill, but not in walmart. So weird.

Will try to catch up bloggin' I know I got some readers that enjoy staying up to date. Lotsa love!

Losing Weight/Eating Healthy

My new years resolution has been the same as everyone elses---lose weight---eat healthy.

I've been doing pretty good. I dont know if i've lost any weight--cuz a car accident had made my discs really bad--and the phsyical therapist has said no workouts, no cardio and no exercizes whatsoever.

So all i can do at this point, is eat right. I thought I'd blog abt a few things I've done.

Ive dicovered that orange and lemon juice on lettuce with salt, garlic and pepper are amazing! It makes a fat free calorie free flavor that works great! tastes good with tomatoes---but not so much with cucumbers!

I grill everything, I use wholegrain breads, I have bought brown rice to start cooking with. I am on a limited budget as well--so if I can do it--so can you.

Potatoes may be starchy but it wont hurt to eat them a few times a week--just not daily. I microwave mine with rosemary, garlic and other flavors. :)

Even my kiddo seems to be enjoying all the foods. I no longer cook with veg oil--havent in ages. I use EVOO.

I have stopped drinking my pop and my coffee---But starbucks is a treat I will have once in a while! Gotta love those frapps!

So while I can't excersize or do cardio--i can practice eating right. We will all fall off--and to me, I think thats okay---and its okay to eat whatever u want one day out of the week.

I need to lose 40 lbs to meet my body mass-correctly. (however that goes)--but my goal is only 30 in 3 months. 10 lbs a month is worth a shot. Its going to be tough without cardio--but if u can get cardio in it--then you CAN do it!

Heres to a healthier us--in 2010! (more later!)
