It’s a simple equation really, burn more calories than you consume and you will lose weight. Of course there is a balance of nutrients to think about. I personally consume too much sugar and not enough fiber. As a lifetime emotional eater though, eating has become a habit for me. Sitting down to watch TV? Grab a snack! Sitting down to work on the computer? Grab a snack! Sitting down to play a game? Grab a snack! Basically, if I am sitting down I have to consciously make a decision NOT to eat. Perhaps every time I go to sit I should go for a run :).
Luckily, my motivation is standing strong and most days as of late I have been able to say “are you hungry?” which makes a huge difference. There has been no movement on the scale but I continue to grow stronger and I am seeing a difference in the mirror. I really should take some measurements so I can track my progress. Just need to keep moving! I’ve got RAGNAR 2016 on the brain which is a big motivator. Run. Eat. Sleep. Repeat!
