Slim Down

Are you tired of dieting? Well I am but I never really had a serious diet not at all. I had tried Slim Fast before because the advertisement was so enticing but unfortunately it didn't work out because it makes me starve more. It can't sustain for a thorough physical activities it makes me weak and my energy level went down and the result I replenished those energy with foods especially sweet treats. I personally is an avid fan of sweets and carbs. I can gobble a king size of candy in an instant on the way back home from work. The only thing I admire to myself is I don't like soda but I love water, water and water. So I decided to stop from drinking Slim Fast.So I switched by just eating salad twice a day with a spoonful of salad dressing or sometimes none because I don't like dressing at all. But guess what? It's becoming so plain and boring. So I went back to my normal routine which is eating regular meals. But biggest problem is I will have a bad addiction of sweets especially when I'm at work. I can consumed a bag of Hershey Kisses alone in a short period of time but when I am at home I am fine. Glenn my husband always wondering why I complain too much about myself? Because according to him I am just RIGHT! I told him that he is such I liar but SUPER nice husband. Anyway it's just a girl thing to be a diet freak.All of the above approach didn't work on me right so I decided to better stick in monitoring portion size and I jot down all the food that I ate including the calories in order for me to track down the my daily targeted calories and so far it works in one week but later on I quit writing -my laziness just click oh well, why is that, that sustainability only lasted a week? I think it's only self-determination and I don't have it but despite of it I manage to exercise and watch I ate. If I have sweet clash I make sure I burn calories through exercising. It's a tiring routine but it makes me feel better if I do exercise and knowing I burn some calories. I added fruits and leafy vegetables on my meals to give me some fiber and above all I watch my portion size.It feels good not to over eat and you do exercise it relaxes you. What about you have you taking steps to slim down? If so please share it too. That's about it!

  3. Hmmm,dieting.rihas ra ta jon since I had PJ my weight went up like a balloon.And now looking myself I felt awful and I want to shed those extra pounds.Yes,exercising did help a lot to get rid a little of those excess fat.I dont do excessive work out,I just do walking after I sent PJ to playgroup.Atleast,one to one n' half hour of walking,threee times a week.And its working plus I watched what I ate too.Lucky me I dont like sweets but I love my rice too much that every dinner rice is always there,like sa pinas.Pag walang kanin,lang silbi si ulam,lol.
    I think we just need to move our ass more prequently in order those carbs wont sits in as stored fat......

    Good luck to your schooling and best regards..
