Losing 100+ pounds – Weekly Update – Week 15

Another week has passed, and again I’m on this lovely yo-yo with the scale. Gained one pound over last week.  But I still have 45 weeks to go to meet my goal, and I can still lose 100 pounds this year, as long as I keep my focus and make the smart choices.

While I’ve been quiet here on the blog, I have been working diligently here, mostly on nutrition and food patterns.  Craig Ballentyne (of Turbulance Training) has this saying, “You can’t out exercise a bad diet”. And I’ve been really working through any issues I have in my diet and my family’s diet here.

When I plan and have good choices on hand, I eat very very healthy. Have since I was a teenager. But, when things aren’t planned, prepared, and on hand, then it’s whatever junk is around…

So, I’ve really been working on formulating a new meal plan (that we can afford), with scheduled times for eating based on what we’ve learned so far.

For the last four weeks we’ve been following a carb-rotation (or carb-cycling) meal plan developed by Jayson Hunter, which came as a bonus with the Fat Loss Quickie program. And we’ve learned a lot about how eating times and food blends make us feel.

So based on that and a bunch of research I’ve been doing we’ve made more changes – to when we eat, how frequently, and what combinations of foods we are eating when.

Also, now that I’m done with the 30 day Fat Loss Quickie program, I’ve also been researching a bit of what I’m going to try next. In the mean time, we’ve just been having fun together. I’m walking more again, and the kids and I are just doing more fun, physical things together.

So, still chugging along. Analyzing what’s working, what’s not, and keeping choices healthy and active, as much as possible.

How’s your week going?
