Weight Loss Diets (All Types) — 

This year I decided to "finally" write down some goals.  I wanted them to be positive AND attainable.  Unrealistically, I made numerous resolutions to lose weight and put a number on it, ie; 15, 20, or 30 lbs..  This year is the year to change it up!

Instead, my goal is to eat healthier and incorporate some exercise.  I decided not to deprive myself and just use portion control instead of cutting out the foods that I enjoy.  I have been substituting some of the foods with other "healthier" choices.  For example, I love tacos! Instead of making them with regular chop meat, I substituted with ground turkey.  Not much of a taste difference.  The turkey with the lettuce, tomatoe, reduced fat cheese and salsa, not a bad meal.  Also, portion control is main thing for me too.  Instead of loading up the plate to maximum portions, I have used the old addage of serving dinner on smaller plates.  This seriously does help!  I serve dinner on smaller plates, still filling up the plate, my husband thinks he is getting a larger portion that he really is!  This is just my own opinion, but in the past two weeks, I have lost 7.5 lbs., by still eating what I love,  and controlling portions. 

In addition to eating better, I have put together a program of walking 3 miles a day, 3 times a week and doing yoga 2 days a week.  Walking does not put a strain on my joints and the yoga works my core muscles and is extremely peaceful.  Why not give it a try!!
