Fat, Old and Ugly

Here I am 90 days later still fat, now old and ugly!  The skip carbs in dinner never worked because I got sick way too many times (part of recently moving here, Doc says it actually lowers your immune system). I feel tired everyday and feel so unhappy with my stomach, especially that I always slouch.

I found myself browsing the internet for portions or trying to figuring out what size of food I should be eating and to find answers on how to keep a healthy lifestyle. I am not really a fan of drastic diets. I believe in having a good lifestyle. I just couldn't find my way to it yet. Lack of discipline!

Thankfully, I am off for the whole week. So I am trying to rest as much as I can to get my energy back. I just recovered from a cold too.  Tomorrow, I plan to go to swimming early in the morning after I take my daughter to school.  I have been waiting for the sun to warmer so the family can spend more time at the beach and then I can run.

I also know that I tend to take too many things (projects) on my plate that I forget about my health so I need to remind myself to put my body first! 

I will probably subscribe to one of those health magazines to just keep me motivated. 

Okay off to bed I go and wish me luck tomorrow!  I am still in search for the right balance of food and exercise but I promise to keep you posted!

Nightmare

I had a terrible dream!

I dream that I turned bald and that right half of my hair was peeling as if it was a wig and that there were stuff in my scalp like some disease. How horrible!!!

Hair loss is one of my biggest fears.

I googled possible meanings of it and it said something like losing love or losing power over something or losing verility. I have been very disappointed lately of my  looks because I gained 5 pounds since I moved here in San Diego. I wanted to run or do my yoga but I have been so busy lately and come home from work really tired...

My mother in-law is here visiting for a month, hopefully I can do some exercise as soon as I get enough rest.  I want to start drinking multivitamins too maybe that will help.

Have a nice day everyone!

90 Days Flat Belly Plan

I currently weigh 119 lbs and for a 5ft, late 30s (little) woman like me the weight goes around my waist.  My little one is now 4 yrs old so I finally got time, well some time for myself.  
Hubby has lost around 40-60 lbs buy not eating carbs at lunch and dinner, exercising and all... I know I lost around 10 lbs by following the book, French Women Don't Get Fat.  I mean I didn't follow it seriously but I took some ideas from it like eating it portions, eating organic and taking your time to enjoy your food.  But eversince I moved here in San Diego slowly gained 5 lbs all over again!  But most disappointingly, I see a gut or a flab in my stomach! Ugh!  

I look forward to running in the beach very soon but I can't wait so I am trying to see if I can lose some of my belly by cutting of carbs totally in my dinners and not drinking anything with sugar.

I started yesterday and it was so funny because when hubby called to ask what we should be eating for dinner I said "I think I will have those potato fries with chili from weinersnetzel" and he goes "ummm I thought you are not eating carbs for dinner anymore..." 

Ha! I already forgot!  So I said "of course..." and got a greek chicken stick instead.

So the count down becan yesterday and wish me luck!

Xoxo,
