"LSB" for "Life Stories & Blogs"—a weight loss thread for those of us who haunt the blog section. Let's post here the little things we do or aim to do each day to further our progress toward our goals.
I'll start.
I would like to lose about 15 pounds (most of which I've gained in the past four months, yikes!). To this end, I am trying to wake up early and run for at least 20 minutes every weekday, and I also started the 30-day plank challenge today to firm up core tone.
I am also trying to cut down on the amount that I drink, and eat better, but I am still working out what "eat better" looks like for me.
Today and yesterday I was good about the exercise part and eating during the work day (mostly fruit and peanut butter).
But yesterday evening, I was not so good about the food and drink. I had two cocktails and a beer after work, as well as eating some candy, olive bread, and brie right when I got gome because I was ravenous. And then Rider's tradition is eating wings and tater tots when he watches a wrestling pay-per-view, but he recently stopped eating meat, so I fried us up some fake chicken nuggets in homemade buffalo sauce and baked some tots. Whoops.
Today my small, manageable goal is to be better than I was yesterday when it comes to food and drink choices. I will have fewer drinks, and I will make a healthier dinner. If I am ravenous right when I get home, I will eat fruit instead of sweets and cheese.
And when I wake up tomorrow, I will run and do the plank challenge again.
