Grab for the carrots, not the chips.

I'm still here I promise, I guess I'm just not sure what to post for the most part. I've never blogged and I don't feel like I have so much to say... I don't want to bore you. I'll have to research other weightloss blogs and get ideas, see what others talk about.

A friend on facebook asked what I did to jump start my weightloss.. And to be honest, I don't feel that I pushed to lose this 6 pounds. I mean yea I tried.. Expecting to lose 2 or 3 pounds at most. I think with my height I just have a lot of fat to get rid of so the change in my diet really just did it for me. Like I've mentioned I have not been working out, which I intend to do (I can blog about that!) I have a Polar FT4 which monitors your heart rate and how many calories you burn, which I love!! 

When it comes to eating, I stay within my 1,200-1,300 calorie limit. I stop at the 1,200 but every few days I allow a little more. In the past when I deprive myself of all sweets and junk, when I finally ate something of that sort.. I basically had junk food overload. I don't want that to happen again, so once in a while I allow myself to have something bad or sweet.. Remember portion, portion, portion!! I feel that it's okay to eat something bad from time to time. But only give yourself a small serving. First I try to eat as many empty calories a day, empty calories meaning mostly veggies. I am not a veggies-kind-of-girl so incorporating it in to my diet is different for me but a positive change for my body.. I've been missing that in my diet for most of my life because I've chosen to grab for the chips and not the carrots.
