I was so excited to be able enjoy a great lunch with a couple friends today. We were accompanied by Jared. SUBWAY Jared!! YUMMO!! How can one not enjoy a the $5 FOOTLONGS!! Roasted Chicken Breast with a little BBQ sauce. Now, I have to tell you...one of the things I am probably picked on the most about is my lack of adventure when it comes to food. Funny coming from a fat girl!! You would think I would eat everything that came in my path including my own fingers. NOPE!! Not this girl!! When I find something I like...I stick to it!!! That is probably my biggest struggle with dieting. I know what I like. I know how to make. My family is use to it. It is making us FAT!! So, with trying to make changes in my life as far as my exercise schedule, I now have to learn to cook healthy!! NOT SO EASY!! Yea, we all know...EAT MORE CHICKEN, EAT MORE FISH, EXTRA LEAN BEEF, low sodium, low sugar, low fat...bottom line, no pizza. Actually, I think we should sell out lawn mower and just eat the dang grass. So, learning what to make, how to cook it, has been an adventure. I have actually been trying some foods that I have never had before. Blueberries, Rasberries, Edamoma (sp?), black beans...I know there has been more. But I have tried them!! I appreciate any feedback on this subject. What do you make your family that is healthy? Now keep in mind..I work full time, two kids, a hubby that works full time and goes to school time. I dont have time for any recipes that require 25 different ingredients that I probably can't even pronounce. Simple, Quick, Easy!!
Now, your probably wondering about the MeatHeads. Well, after I got home and got the kids gathered up, we ran to the grocery store to pick up a couple things and then...off to the gym!!! (side note: the gym has a really cute area that babysitting is offered) There were a BUNCH of those bulky gorilla, meathead guys there tonight. Make me feel a little..out of place... I felt like they all looked at me at the same and in their minds they were screaming GRENADE!!!!!! Hey, trust me meathead, I am no more happy about being here than you are about seeing me here. But, guess what??? I'm here!! I am trying to do something about my weight. So, say what you want MeatHead....When my butt is smaller, my boobs are still big and your watching every squat I make....remember....I'M MARRIED!! hahaha :)
On a serious note...I am really nervous about working out in front of people. I am afraid to go by myself. I HATE the idea of doing this without a partner. But, each day I have to remember my moto: My weight will no longer be my struggle, it will be my accomplishment. In order to accomplishment my goal, I have to overcome my fears. What I will do is start my working out in the women's area and each time I will make it my goal to workout on one machine in front of other people. I hope it works!!
I also want to take a minute and thank you guys for reading my blog and for being a "Follower" . It means so much to me. You don't realize how much it means that you are wanting to take an active roll in my weighloss. Please, hold me accountable. THANK YOU :)
