Over the last few years I have tried to change all our eating habits and the types of food we keep in the house, not just for me, but my kids and my husband too. The couple of months, I feel so discouraged, I have been baking more "crap" which is really the good stuff for you since its far better than store bought stuff. But I have been baking more, and I have been eating anything I want to...which is ridiculous.
Two months ago I started on a weight loss program through Herbalife, I bought everything I could to help me two shakes a day, vitamins, appetite suppressants. I bought it all. I felt full for about an hour but then I'd still be hungry.
My son is a personal trainer and his wife is a nutritionist, so I have been working with them and trying to get my life back on track. His gym started selling Visalus so the other day I bought a 30 day supply and I'm going to start the 90 challenge with Visalus and my son Jon. I'm not sold on anything yet, but I have tried everything. I'm sick and tired of paying money for things that are not working for me. Personally, if I have to work that hard..its not a good fit, I need something that I can maintain and something that feels natural. Visalus is also shakes, its called the cake mix of shakes. I'll give it a try and see...if it works, I'll post about that. If not, I am going back to weight watchers, I am sick of weight watchers, but I know it works. I just need to lose some of the stress in my life so that I can focus on me again. The last few weeks have been incredibly hard for me between my husband stuff and my stuff going on.
Food to me is what alcohol is to an alcoholic, therefore, its not ok that I have to eat because that is where I find the difficulty. If I take away one thing out of my diet, I need to figure out what I am going to replace that with...I have to have a plan, which is why Herbalife did not work. I did not felt the support, and or have people that when I asked questions gave me real life answers. Don't tell me you know what my issues are when you've not walked in my shoes. It is more than just taking out all the junk out of my house, its more than just drinking two shakes. I have to know what to eat when I'm hungry.
Last night my daughter-in-law worked me up a meal plan and a workout plan...so I'm going to give this a try. I am supposed to receive everything on Tuesday sometime...so; I can't wait to get started!
Don't worry, I'll be blogging! Now that I do not have all my classes to keep up with, I'll be doing more blogging!
