For those that know me in the real world, vs cyber world, know that I am the worst picky eater ever. I have made it my weekly goal to try at least one new food. This week to start it off strong, and prove my dedication to this journey I am trying three new things! A tomato, grapefruit and a pepper. I know sounds lame right? But that is proof that I am a picky eater, that struggles in trying new things. So attached to this blog is the video proof of me trying the 3 things. I challenge anyone who is reading this to suggest normal things for me to try.
My goal for this journey is to loose 50lbs. My starting weight is 215. I want to make this clear. I am not ashamed of my body. I am not unhappy with my appearance. I am a confident woman, who is outgoing, smart, strong and independent. I am not losing weight to adhere to some imagine that magazines and america tells you that you need to be. I am losing weight to help counteract my hypothyroidism and pcos (poly cystic ovarian syndrome). My hope is that losing the weight and counteracting the two conditions I have will assist in my husband and my's ultimate dream, a family.
Our journey for a family started 2 1/2 years ago, with no success. Numerous Dr appointments, blood work, exams, medicines, and so much more, along with many a many tears. No one can truly understand the pain one goes through when they are told they will struggle, spend tons of money on something others can do with no ease, you know who I am talking about... the fertile mertiles, the ones that all they need is hubby to hang his pants on the end of the bed, etc. Its an exhausting journey, and all I want is some end. I want that baby in my arms, watch him/her grow up and hoping not have the struggles I have had.
Go Kristine! You will reach your goals!
ReplyDeleteKristine good for you on your change. I may suggest to you that eating these products just plain isn't necessarily the best way. For example when eating a red pepper try adding it to say grilled chicken fajitas with a whole grain tortilla. Tomatoes are really good in salads if they are baby tomatoes or sliced. The grapefruit try mixing with other fruits in a fruit salad mix. A great alternative but unfortunately is expensive Turkey meat. Not only is it a great lean meat it doesn't have that bad taste to it. I suggest mixing that in with either a lasagna (whole wheat noodles of course) or what i like to do in spaghetti. I wish you the best of luck and will be periodically checking in on you. I have goal of losing 25lbs this year with 9lbs being lost already. Good luck Kristine.....For the Horde!!!! lol
