it has so much of everything. tips from previous contestants, dining out menu nutritional information to some popular restaurants (yeah i learned a footlong tuna at subway is the highest calorie and highest fat on the menu: 1060 calories and 61 grams of fat...NEVER doing that again).
yoga ball.
dude, i got one of the big ones, and i sit with the nanny and we balance and exercise and stretch while we watch our favorite shows. nanny is also a favorite tool to use. i need accountability.
gym:
we have a workout room at work, but its only available to employees. im going to 24 hour fitness to get a membership soon. that way if i need a partner in accountability i can call up A. or Brudder. and i can have someone push me. dont get me wrong, having the Biggest Loser trainers in my head when i need motivation works wonders so far...unfortunately, its easy to call them bad names and quit when they arent actually here.
fluffy friends:
gotta have accountability. having fat friends who are making good choices and losing weight is a great tool.
former fluffy friends;
those who have lost the weight and keep it off are my heroes.
my friends Megan and Stephanie have each lost 60 lbs or more and have kept it off.
i love seeing their old pictures.
food journal:
truth be told. sometimes it ends up getting written on 3x5 cards at work...but making sure im keeping a log of my food and calories is essential. you are MUCH more likely to succeed and also to hold yourself accountable for the foods you eat when you write them down.
i never eat fast food when i record my foods. i love that im back into it.
SPARKPEOPLE.com
this website is essential to me. when i lost 70 lbs...it was with this website.
its a FREE website.
register...try it DAILY for a MONTH. you WILL be impressed and feel so connected.
there are blogs and there are exercises and free food logs and calorie counters.
its fabulous.
Family;
you have to tell them.
i ask Js daddy to make healthy food. and make it not taste healthy. he does a wonderful job. he loves to cook and it really helps to try and and challenge him to make good things. recently i challenged him to make low fat low cal sweet onion chicken teriyaki like at subway...but just as chicken breasts so i could avoid the bread and calories. he made triple servings so i had lunch for 2 days after : ].
good running shoes.
i dont run.
i hate to run.
but having the nikes that i have (got them for 50 bucks on clearance) are essential to a good workout.
thats all for now. :]
