alli, flatbelly, wii fit ...hmmm

so it's day one, i know it seems odd to start on a wednesday but technically it's monday for me since it's my first day back to work.... so I started the flat belly anti bloat diet portion.. and i'm not sure what to think yet.. i'm kind of doing it weird since i work graveyards...so the way i'm having to do things is a bit off..

current weight: 247.6
bmi 41.12

so i did the meal scheduling a little bit different, so since i have to go to sleep soon but i still gotta work and eat later I decided to have the snack for my breakfast, it was blueberry smoothie and rather good and a tbsp of raw sunflower seeds. .. i figured if i was going to bed soon i really didn't want anything to terribly heavy....i'll update later

if at first we dont succeed try and try again..

so here I am, with renewed vigour to take uup the challenge of losing weight again. It seems I am always in a constant battle with my weightloss, sometimes I think it's possibly something medical, more often than not it's probably something psychological.... I used to spend so much time soothing my emotional wears and tears with food and instantly gratifying myself in the same manner. I know all of these patterns are extremely unhealthy and unfortunately food was one of the few coping mechanisms I relied heavily on. Smoking and Alcohol being the others. My time line for the weightloss has also changed due to my trip being delayed, for now,..so I have set up the goal of 10 lbs a month, over a 9 month period. As of this morning I weighed in at 250.8 I have been lucky enough to maintain with in the 250 range since I have been off my diet, but it has been hard, energy drinks helped back on the pounds rather fast since they are 250 calories for the big cans I was drinking. So I have sat down and tried to think of a plan one that I know I could actually put into practice and this is what I came up with.

Diet: I decided to switch to the flat belly diet that is being put out by the editors of prevention magazine. One of my coworkers is doing it and has lost weight. I will be throwing in a twist, as I will still be taking the 3 Alli pills a day with the 3 main meals of the flat belly diet

Excercise: as far as excercise goes I am going back on the wii fit I know I am not physically fit enough to do any real running or advanced aerobics, The simple we fit excercises aren't hard on my knees either which is another plus. If after 2 months I notice a sufficient weight loss and feel as if my body can handle it I will join 24 hr fitness and go from there doing the elliptical and the treadmill and some weight training.

Today (sunday) I am unable to start the diet because of work and the fact I haven't gone grocery shopping. I've started reading the Flat Belly Diet book while I am here at work and have photocopied the grocery list for the first 4 days, I will go grocery shopping tomorrow afternoon after I've slept and will pick up the things I need for the next 4 days then I will go through and pick out the grocery lists for each consecutive week. I feel a stronger sense of commitment this time around maybe its the medication perking me up and helping me find clarity and direction in my life. So I guess I'll do a quick rundown of the basics again and will update them with the wiifit information on another blog.
