I am currently on a quest to lose weight. It started at the beginning of the month. I did a CrossFit competition and noticed that I was a good bit heavier than my competitors. I don't have a problem with my fluffy 41 year old body. It made two awesome babies. It's freaking strong. And, my tush is awesome. But, I want to get stronger and be faster. So, I cut out wine, corn tortillas and cut back on chocolate. Then, Christmas arrived. Yeah, I have went into indulge mode. But, two days after Christmas, I am starting to get the goodies out of my house. I won't open another bottle of wine until my mother in law arrives.
I am not waiting for January 1st to make miraculous changes in my life. I am starting now.
Part of the altering of the food on my plate is to go a step further and follow the 21 Day Sugar Detox by Diana Sanfilippo. This used to be available via ebook. Now, it's a real book and she also has a cook book (I have some amazon.com affiliate links below). Why follow a meal plan? For me, it is the structure at the beginning. Also the ease of finding recipes in the new cookbook.
I don't think of this as a diet. If i eat something I am not supposed to, I don't stress about it. The world will not end because I have rice one night. Still, I do need to get out of this indulgent stage. Knowing I shouldn't have that glass of wine will keep me on track.
Don't stress but, figure out one thing that will get your health on track. 2014 will be a great year, Mom
