Day One!!!

okay so the goal is to eat 6 meals a day. with breakfast lunch and dinner being only slightly bigger then the snacks. and usually only bigger b/c they has some sort of protien. and you should eat your last meal no less then two hrs, before you go to sleep. so here i go. and normally i would be going to the gym in the morning, but b/c of kids club stuff, i will have to go when my husband gets home from work for the time being. things i will completely cut out of my diet for the next 21 days: eating out (unless someone is taking us out to eat..which isn't likely) juices from concentrate, anything that has the word "cream" in it. and the things that i plan to cut back on are: juice of any kind (it's hard b/c that what we get for wic.) also keep in mind my portions have to be bigger then most b/c of my job, and i'm still breastfeeding. foods soul purpose is to give you nutrition, while it's delicious, it has no other purpose then to give your body the things it needs to survive. so for 21 days that's what you ahve to think of, the bare minimal. you have to think what you do in your day. if you're trying to lose wieght, you need to be consuming less calories then you're burning. and once you're at your goal wieght, then those numbers need to be exact. ex: with my job (massage therapist) i burn an extra 300 cal per massage. and with breast feeding (my son is 6 months old) i need to consume an extra 4-500 cal. also i have a 2 year old that i chase around all day. so you have to do what fits in your life. if you're burning 2000 cal a day, you can't only be consuming 1100 cal. that's not healthy.
