Long time coming

I'm trying to get back on track. Don't know quite how yet....but I am working towards it.

After being shut in most of the summer and just getting off a delicious diet of cruise cuisine, I'm definitely feeling the aftermath. Suggestions?

welcome back.

my favorite:
put in the blender

about1/4 c. vanilla yogurt
handful frozen strawberries
a scoop of chocolate protein powder
a few ice cubes
milk (just to the consistency you want)

i feel like i'm having a milkshake for breakfast, and one of my snacks of the day. (it's from the abs diet book)

good luck!

welcome back my dear.

make weekly meal plans. plan every meal (even if its cereal). and plan what snacks you will have on hand. keep a food journal for yourself. be honest with yourself, its only you.

make a realistic goal for how many times per week you will work out. and then reward yourself for sticking to it! (non-food rewards, like being able to watch an hour of tv, put $1 in a jar for a new wardrobe item, etc.)

Jen,

Sign up for a 5 k, there is nothing more motivating than knowing you have a goal to reach especially when it is a run you have signed up for and paid for. I hate it when my money goes to waste so I will run a marathon even if it was a half so as long as I didn't waste my money. Ha ha ha. But seriously sign up for a 5k. Also use the dvd I gave your mom to send you, you will love it I promise!!!

I'm just glad you're feeling well enough to "get back on track" as you say. Start out easy and set attainable goals--that way you won't get discouraged. I love Jill's idea of rewarding yourself! I think I'll try that one!
