So I figure you guys thought I had forgotten all about this blog and exercising and dieting, but no, I haven't, even if obviously I haven't kept up any of it. Though I will say I haven't really been eating crazy or anything, and somehow I have managed to lose 6 lbs. Go figure. At any rate, that is encouraging and enough to get me to keep trying.
What is weird is that the worst part is for me being here at work.....that's when I feel the most hungry. I can be home all day and eat absolutely nothing until dinner because I haven't felt hungry, but put me at work and I feel hungry. I don't know if it's because I'm so bored or what, which probably is the case. And there isn't anything I can do to change that because there is nothing much for me to do here. (I wonder why this "job" even exists.) I swear if I could put my treadmill in here I would, at least I have the time to exercise and it would give me something to do instead of think about food. Unfortunately I do not like the snack foods you are supposed to eat, like carrots and celery. Yuck. I could eat celery if I put lots of peanut butter in the groove, but I think that might just defeat the purpose of the whole celery thing.
I also wish I was a breakfast eater, but I really never have been pretty much my whole life (unless it's around 10 or 11am). I keep reading you should have protein in the morning, like eggs, and while I like eggs, I don't like them at 6:00am. And again I have to take my meds on an empty stomach first thing in the morning anyway, so I really can't eat till around 7. I've played with the thought of making an egg sandwich using that thin 100 calorie bread, and bringing it with me to work, but I'm not sure how that would be after an hour. I don't know.....I need to figure out something because everything I read says people do tend to lose weight faster and healthier if they eat breakfast. Then again, I know when I have eaten breakfast first thing in the morning, I find myself STARVING the rest of the day for some strange reason. Weird I know.
At any rate, if anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them.
And today I am going home and getting on threadmill right away (stop shaking your heads...I can see you!) and then I think something light for dinner. I bought stuff for salads and maybe a little chicken on top.
I'm not giving up.
You're right, you can't give up!! There are some things that I think you could take and prepare if you have a microwave at work. You like yogurt so you could wait until you are ready and have yogurt and a piece of fruit. Remember, you need to eat to lose weight. My problem is that I eat and I GAIN weight. Hang in there, it will happen.
