So here's my dilemma ... I really want to lose just a little bit more weight. Not a lot. I'm talking like less than 10 pounds. But I am having a terrible time doing it.
I know the best answer is diet and exercise. Definitely 100% agree!!!
My problem is that when it comes to dieting I have plateaued. :( I lost a bunch of weight when I first changed my diet. I am now so much more knowledgeable about calories and fats and sweets. I have been really good at controlling what I put in my body. So now eating healthy is my new "norm"- yay! unfortunately that's not dropping the pounds any more. So what do I do? I already am only eating 1200 calories a day so I obviously don't want to go below that.
Exercise is great. It really is. I love it! I just don't have time for it. I have tons of work-out plans, seriously I have a binder full of exercises BUT I DON'T HAVE TIME. I have 3 kids to take care of every evening. By the time I get home its dinner and cleaning and laundry. Then bath time and bed time. At that point I'm exhausted. I really want to go to bed by 9:30 pm. But I find myself still up working on projects, Studying up on my Italian, or doing homework!! Then bed time. I'm already not a morning person so waking up early to run is not an option. Plus I do my devotionals in the mornings. Then my day starts all over.
I get some exercise in on the weekends, but it's not enough to make a difference.
So what am I to do??
As always I'll keep you posted on what I decide to go with and then my progress...
But in the meantime if you would like to share your experiences or suggestions feel free.
I want an appetite suppressant and energy booster. I'm thinking of trying a green tea extract.
Thanks!!!
