Day 1

I went to bed earlier than usually yesterday, in order to start strong today! And it seems to have worked: I lost 1.5 pounds, in 24 hours. It helps to think positively (otherwise, I could simply say that this lost is due tohe normal fluctuation of weight over time!). Anyway; I am now at 8,6 pounds of my final objective. And here is one of my cute little trick:

• I write, on a post it, in big characters, the number of pounds I still have to loose to reach my goal, and I place it on the fridge. Constant reminder. good idea.

Another good and pretty easy trick: drink water, as much as you can. Today, I drank 2 litres! I like to add some fresh fruits in my water to give it taste (citrus, raspberry, strawberry...). And I leave a pitcher full on the  counter; always ready to use! ps: I do not personally appreciate cold water...

Ok, so here is what I ate today:

1. breakfast: 1 slice wheat bread with peanut butter, a banana and a big strawberry
2. Lunch: lentils (a big bowl), a cup of vegetable soup, cucumber and carrots. 
3. Dinner: chicken with potato, tomato and pepper. And a yogourt. 
4. Snack: another banana. and 2 latte, one with 2% milk and the other with soy milk.

I also moved today! I went skating with the kids, but it was too cold to say that I really exercise... So I ran 5km at my parent's treadmill. And that was a good workout. I felt so good after (even more after the shower!). 

Oh: and another trick: DO NOT finish the plate of your kids... Carbage will eat it, not you. This is so difficult for me since I hate to waste food. But, I will work hard on giving the right portion's size to my kids...  

Finally, to please me: I asked my boyfriend to take care of the kids alone; and that is how I was able to run... And I also organize my birthday... more to come about it.

I am going to bed early again tonight! See you tomorrow!

Starting tomorrow

How often I said: I'll start tomorrow...? I do not know, probably a million times. But I think this one could be the right one. Why? Because I am doing it for me, myself and I only. However, you will be with me, because I will tell you, every single day, how I am doing it.

No pictures, no fancy post, just talking. Sometimes in English, sometimes in French.

I am surrounded by extraordinary people. I am a very healthy eater, and I do a lot of sports...

Hence, I do not know why, actually, I gained 10 extra pounds... I have 3 kids; could this be the reason? No... I am the only responsible, and I, alone, will loose these 10 pounds of fat. Here is how I think I'll do it:

1. I am going to eat mieux et moins (I will tell you everything I eat)
2. be even more active (I will tell you every thing I do)
3. and I will take care of me (I will think about me and threat myself, and I will tell you about it too!).

How long will it take? I do not know, but I am starting tomorrow.
