I weighed myself this morning and I lost another 6.2 pounds for a total of 21.4 pounds. I must confess that two days out of the week I made a few not so healthy choices. I had long errands to run and didn't prepare my food for on the go. On Tuesday I ate some chicken nuggets and a few fries from McDonald's. On Thursday I had a traditional Puerto Rican dinner of rice, beans and pork.
Why am I not upset with myself? On both days I followed the plan to a T except for the one meal that I messed up on. On Thursday instead of eating a complete meal I shared half of it with my sister. The old me would have said "Oh well I cheated, I'll just start again tomorrow or next week". The new me allowed myself to deter for my plan but jump right back on and stay active.
I have to say that this week the Dr. Oz Rapid Weight Loss Plan was easier. I found more things to eat and even enjoyed my salad more with a creamy and rich avocado-yogurt dressing I made. I also added hummus and soups which made it feel like I wasn't on a diet. I can definitely see myself doing the plan for one week at a time every month.
This week I go back to my calorie counting and exercising. The weather is getting warmer and the snow is thawing. I can't wait to go on my walks this week!
It's great that even though you deviated, that you didn't beat yourself up. But moved on and kept going. Keep up the good work!!
ReplyDeleteWow that is amazing! Congratulations! I may have to look into this weight loss plan!
ReplyDeleteI Don't Know How You Do It But Great Job Kudos To You For All Your Hard Work & Sticking To Your Diet!!! XO :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for such amazing progress! I quit weighing myself a long time ago but do extra effort to run and walk for 30 minutes 5x a week. i hope to surprise myself by the end of the year haha
ReplyDeleteProgress is progress! I personally SUCK at diets!! Even simple ones of eating a bit healthier or incorporating more healthy foods into my meals, so I definitely give you props!

Congratulations, you're doing great! In order to be successful with healthy eating, you have to allow for times that you do not adhere perfectly to your regime. I lost 70 lbs in 1 year by eating sensibly and getting active daily, and the key is consistency and staying with the plan.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great job your doing. Losing weight is so hard. I haven't tried the Dr. Oz plan however from watching his tv shows I think it would be a great place to start.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I'm glad that you are seeing a new you out of yourself and that you aren't addressing issues the way you were before. I think your approach now helps you to be more forgiving of little mishaps, and jump right in again instead of giving up. Way to go!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the warmer weather too so we can get outside! Congrats on your weight loss!
ReplyDeleteYou shouldn't beat yourself up about cheating. Everyone is entitled to a cheat day [or two] The Dr oz diet looks amazing. I think I might try it as well. Thank you for sharing./
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great plan. I will have to look more into it.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! I've heard so much about Dr.Ozs' weight loss plan.
ReplyDeleteNice job! I cut out wheat and sugar from my diet for about two months, and have since lost about 20 pounds. I've followed some of Dr. Oz's recipe suggestions that I saw in a Women's First magazine. I will have to learn more about this diet.
ReplyDeleteThis is great even with a few less than healthy choices! I must say that slipping up a bit is to be expected and I think even necessary to remind yourself what your goal is (and to reward yourself for being good the majority of the time!) I need to learn about and try this plan I think because it seems to work fabulously.
ReplyDeleteOH, that is really good that you continue even though there are minor obstacles. That is determination, love it!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I'm glad the program is working for you. I hope it continues to do so and that you're able to maintain the pounds you drop! ^_^
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you've found a workable plan. I would like to lose a few pounds, but so far, I lack willpower. I need to dedicate myself to a plan. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWay to go keep up the good work. I need to lose 5 pounds so I might try some of these ideas
ReplyDeleteI have been following you and your journey! way to go
ReplyDeleteYour food looks so healthy!
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing! You are such an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteMan that is crazy that you have lost that much already! I wish I could stick to a diet better, but I always end up falling off after a few days :P
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your weightloss! Consistency is the key!
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome that you lost so much and so quickly. I'm inspired. I've lost 2 pounds and have a ways to go, but I'm willing to try new things and give this a try since it is working so well!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're liking the Dr. Oz plan. And good for you for keeping on!! Congrats on the weight loss so far. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is great! After so much time your brain starts to remember your new lifestyle and accomodate itself to it and it will be easier and easier for you. Also your body starts to accomodate it, and the metabolism. Congratulations!
ReplyDelete21 lbs!!! Awesome! You should be super proud also keep up the good work. You are such an inspiration!

ReplyDeleteMore than anything, I'm jealous of the melting snow! My dog and I both need the snow to clear so we can get back into the woods for our own weight loss plan. :-)
