Yes it is overwhelming.
April...So much good advice. Yes it is overwhelming.<br />April, just change one thing: eat a healthy good breakfast EVERY morning.<br />I agree with your blog. You are not eating enough. Not as in volumne but in order to awaken your metabolism<br />food is the trick. As in protein/whole grain.<br />Eggs, meat, fish,nuts. Plain no cheese etc. No fillers.<br />They say just keep it simple. First thing in the morning.<br /><br />You are doing a good job and we are proud of you.<br />You'll see. Believe.<br />Love MOM so glad to see you soonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5074004965034055867.post-84609444968814446142010-02-09T08:25:41.647-07:002010-02-09T08:25:41.647-07:00Hi April!

The thing that´s really working for me is the following:- lots of kiwis added to my usual eating habits, drinking a big glass of orange juice and a cup of green tea with my breakfast (I was told in the gym the combo kickstart one´s metabolism in the mornings and yes, it seems to be the case) and powerplate sessions at the gym twice a week combined with one session of aerobics and one of spinning.<br /><br />Whatever you do, think positive! you are going to achieve it :) keep up the good work gal!<br /><br />Greetings from Spain.´´Saray´´https://www.blogger.com/profile/10810749207923548142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5074004965034055867.post-57551369026505069512010-02-08T11:50:11.364-07:002010-02-08T11:50:11.364-07:00What all of the above said! You are doing awesome!...What all of the above said! You are doing awesome! Just awesome!!! <br /><br />Did you start tracking your food with that book yet? I am guilty of not following my own advice, because it is a royal pain in the ass... But, just do it for the next month...Write EVERYTHING down. Water. A packet of splenda. A piece of sugarless gum....Everything. If you are overeating, it will become very clear...where that is happening and when. <br /><br />You might also jot down your emotional being for the day. That is just based on my personal experience as an emotional eater, because a trip to the pantry for a handful of chips (when you are irritated or upset) is enough to derail your progress. <br /><br />Not to say this is what is going on, but you would be surprised at what you put into your mouth subconsciously. If you are not, then that will be the type of documentation needed for a doctor or dietician to look at, so it will save time and give you a head start, if you end up needing to seek advise from a professional.<br /><br />You will also be able to determine whether or not you are eating enough or not eating enough lean proteins and healthy veggies, etc. <br /><br />You probably know all this already, but sometimes it helps to have someone reinforce what you already know. <br /><br />Just remember, it is a LONG process. Try to keep in mind how much you HAVE lost in the last year, because that is pretty amazing...and you literally "shrink" everytime I see you. Hope this helps. See you soon!
