Mid-Valleyhttp://www.mommag.comumbracoMOM Magazine Blog - Mid-ValleyenPortion Control – Are you getting enough?http://www.mommag.com/local/mid-valley/2013/5/8/portion-control-–-are-you-getting-enoughWed, 08 May 2013 14:09:00 GMThttp://www.mommag.com/local/mid-valley/2013/5/8/portion-control-–-are-you-getting-enoughThis week I am working on my portion control.  Portion control goes both ways - for me it is so important because I usually don't get enough.  This makes my body go into survival mode and store fats.  It also doesn't help my metabolism - which we are trying to get working again.  So when I skip meals or don't eat what is recommended by my program - I am sabotaging my weight loss.

My program has certain amounts of a wide variety of selected food groups for each meal breakfast, Lunch, dinner, and snacks.  My consultant Hannah provides me with a list of portion recommendations for me to choose from (Protein, Fruit/Starch, and Vegetables) - so for example a lunch would be; 4 ounces Protein, 8 ounces of uncooked vegetables (which is a lot salad) and something from the fruit/starch, and a protein supplement.

When I don't follow these recommendations I don't get the results - simple as that.  And last week I didn't do my measuring and I didn't get the results.  So this week I am getting back to measuring and putting me first when my life gets crazy taking time to plan meals ahead of time.

Comfy clothes are great, but for me, if I want to take off the weight I need to pull on those tight jeans on and wear them around.  It is a reminder for me of how great it is going to feel when they losen up.  Now is the perfect time to put on those jeans, because I want to be comfortable in my shorts.  Ahhh Summer is just around the corner.

]]>Are you a Meal Skipper? http://www.mommag.com/local/mid-valley/2013/4/10/are-you-a-meal-skipper--Wed, 10 Apr 2013 14:41:00 GMThttp://www.mommag.com/local/mid-valley/2013/4/10/are-you-a-meal-skipper--Yes, I am a Meal Skipper

Yes - I am a meal skipper.  I skip breakfast and sometimes it will be 2 or 3 p.m. and I realize I haven't eaten.  Sometimes I will bring my lunch to Ava's swim lesson at 3:00 to finish during the 30 minute session.  My friends Allison and Sarah both are just saying - you need to eat.  My life is so busy and I really don't get hungry.  So one of the things I am working on from last week is eating within an hour of waking up.  My body has gone into survival mode and is storing all those calories and my metabolism is functioning at low rate.

I lost two pounds last week and I ate something for breakfast each day.  It's a start.

Sometimes getting started is the hardest part - I procrastinated for a really long time.  What is important is starting.  During the consultation you will provide complete medical history and every appointment you will have your blood pressure taken.  I can't tell you how understanding, helpful and nice the staff has been to me.  There is not a better time than now to start a healthy lifestyle change.
