I have now learned the art of portion control. I had NO IDEA how much I was eating before. 300 cal of healthy food is still 300 cal. I took about 3 weeks to measure things out and now can pretty much eye-ball it. I can tell you what 2 c of spinach, 1/4 c nuts, 1 serving of pretzels, 1 inch cube of cheese all look like. I've also been getting my 150+ minutes of exercise a week. That represents 30 mins/day for 5 days. Last week I got in 180 minutes and my goal for this week is 200 minutes.
Overall, I've lost over 12% of my weight-loss goal (okay, I'm just gonna say it and get it out of the way, I'm trying to lose 100 lbs to reach a healthy, "normal" BMI.) I've given myself 18 months to lose the weight...slow and steady wins the race and insures the weight will STAY OFF this time around.
Stats: down 12.5 lbs in 7 weeks and almost ready to go down a dress size from where I started.
How are you doing on your "get healthy" goals?
