For those non-China adopters, China had changed some of their requirements to adopt from China after May 1st (Doesn't apply to us this time around because our paperwork was in before May 1st, so we're good), one of which is the adoptive parents must have a BMI lower than 40. We were both over the 40, but as of today my BMI is officially under 40! That was my first weight loss goal, which amounts to 8.6lbs lost so far. The next weight loss goal is a bit more, 31 more lbs. Piece of cake! Well, ummm... maybe not cake.. LOL Piece of carrot just doesn't sound right though!
My system has been pretty simple really, and I always knew that this would work (so far so good anyway). Eat less (and better), work out more. Pretty easy right? LOL NOT! I'm at least trying to eat 3 meals a day even if one of them is a SlimFast shake. I'm used to not eating breakfast so now I am eating something for breakfast. Sometimes I have cereal for lunch. No, not Lucky Charms or Fruit Loops.. lol something a little less sugary. I already eat whole grain bread (most of the time). And I TRY to work out on the stationary bike and/or treadmill everyday for at least 30 minutes. Most of the time I drink water or seltzer. Hopefully I can keep up this momentum. 8.6 pounds in 7 weeks isn't bad at all. I'll take it!
