Here are some of the things I have changed which have helped me to lose some weight.
B/c I can't bring my own lunch (I'm a lawyer and I spend all morning in court and my food would go bad if I brought it with me) I have to rely on outside food. Not the healthiest choice but I have no other. So I usually eat salad from the Pizzeria. Well they put a balsalmic vinagrette dressing on their salads. I used to order it on the side b/c they literally drench the salad in the dressing.
Well one day I decided to ask how many calories were in their dressing. It turns out there is 120 calories per 2 tablespoons! OMG I almost passed out! No wonder I wasn't really losing much. So I went to the supermarket and bought my own fat free dressing that is 15 calories per 2 tablespoons and now I order the salad plain and put my own dressing. It helped me lose a lot of weight this week.
Also instead of regular sushi rolls I eat brown rice ones now. I don't eat any white rice or white bread. Only brown rice and whole wheat bread. And I learned to portion my meals better. Protein the size of the palm of your hand and 1/2 a cup of cooked rice per meal. I try to eat starches only once a day.
I exercise 5 times a week. 1 hour of cardio, no weights. OMG I am so so proud of you.... You have done unbelieveable from day one and nothing has stopped you. Your a great inspirations for me, I couldnt imagaine losing that much weight in one week "the healthy way"..... Thanks for all the tips Im sure many of us will definetly put them to use....
Keep up all the hard work, I get soooo excited to hear all these awesome Lbs that everyone is losing... and to hear you have never been happier!!! How exciting keep it up Glenda!!!!
