I LOVE FOOD!!!
One look at me, and you'd know. I like to consider myself a foodie, but I regret to inform you I have limited knowledge on just about everything. I grew up in a house full of picky eaters, but I am now ready to expand my food repertoire. This is no Julie & Julia spoof, just my honest-to-goodness food adventures with a hidden agenda.
In each post, you'll see tips and tricks I have learned in green. At the end of each post, you'll see my commitment to my personal goal, Operation 20 (described below).
My mission: I have attempted many times to lose some weight. This will be my new attempt to finally kick those few extra pounds and not just for the cute clothes this time. You down? I want to do this for me; I want to feel more confident, energetic and overall healthier. Join me in this Battle of the Bulge!
I have had many failed attempts at weight loss from new years resolutions to hit the gym to a week on SlimFast to a 17 week program on Weight Watchers. I admit that the accountability of someone actually seeing my weight kind of made me more likely to work out and watch what I was eating. But by the end of it all, I got sick of counting stupid points. It was just too hard and there were too many temptations (mind you this was in high school). However, this time I want it to be different. I want to be able to eat what I want!!
So here is my SCHOOL year resolution-- (I know, there's many parts, but really it's all one in the same). This is a promise to myself.
1. Lose at least 20lb by Christmas
For myself, I can make this happen by
- Eating healthy, home-cooked meals
- Going grocery shopping weekly to prep for these meals
- Weighing in every Wednesday
- Working out MINIMUM 3 times per week for 30minutes each
2. Save money and calories by not giving in to eating out/ delivery
For you, reader, this is what I attempt to offer:
1. Delicious recipes of homemade, (usually) healthy meals
2. Tips, tricks, and fun facts on my weight loss adventure
3. Workout ideas and my daily menus
3. My unedited, uncut, crazy LIFE.
