Well thank goodness I was hoping so, so what is your plan for the rest of the time lunch and dinner? Just cutting down your portions and fruit for healthy snacks, meat and some vegetables, little bread but not much, more water-little juice but not lot of juice or what? I know how much you love your orange juice and fruit punch, not totally cutting that are ya? Cutting down on fried food, eating more baked/grilled or what? I am just curious.
What I have done and I have found that helps is that I eat three meals breakfast, lunch, and supper. If I happen to miss breakfast which I do-which not recommend not a good thing to do, I know bad me lol. I have a little snack-sometimes fruit for a late brunch-many times some crackers and cold lunch meat, for lunch lots of times a sandwich/or if not a sandwich-one or two chicken patties or a microwave dinner-banquet got good ones-especially salisbary steak and fried chicken w corn and mashed potato ones-very good, sometimes an apple, depends, then I have supper. What I do is I portion my food, sometimes I take small second helping but most times I stick with one serving-I portion my food, space when I eat, yeah sometimes I have indulged but within balance-usually lots of times little bit during the weekend reward myself, do it a little bit, don't go crazy.
Usually what I do is I work on straightening up the room, do stuff around the house, get moving and walking around doing that, the paper route helps when there are times I have to get out and walk papers up to mail boxs, and porches-helps give me exercise. I have cut down a considerable amount on how much fried food I used to eat, tend to eat bit more vegetables now-don't eat as much sweets, eat bit more fruit now, toning down on my caffeine, for me I can't really give it up-if I do get pretty bad headaches. That is what I have done that helps-course when I worked at Mid-American lost lot of weight-moving around and cleaning so much. I still have a lot of weight-but I have gained a little back-but some I think got to be also muscle gained-arms and legs. Hope this helps.
