Why 400 Calories

I have had several questions on what is my diet or as I like to try to tell myself.....LIFE STYLE CHANGE. Well I heard on TV one day The lady who is the editor for Prevention magazine say about eating 4 ... 400 calorie meals a day.

It just so happened that morning I got on the scale for the first time in months & was very upset by the number I saw... so I figured why not try it. So that night my husband came home to me packing all the junk food & I explained that I was done living & eating the way we had been. That things were going to change. Meals were going to be healthier & exercise was a priority. So I woke up the next day & started my diet. For the first 3-4 days I was like I had a severe case of PMS... ( no Joke) but I realized it was just my body response to being De sugared & the decrease in food intake.

On the 8th day first thing the morning we both weighed in. I lost 11 lbs....... I was happy & shocked. I thought did I really eat that badly that it was enough for me to lose 11lbs. The answer to that is Yes & No. I love healthy stuff but some times it was the portion or the hidden calories. Like adding that extra piece of cheese or not knowing really how many calories in salad dressing I was placing on that salad. Now I learned how to read the labels & still need to work on understanding everything about what we should be eating & consuming in a day. Such as the sodium, sugar, carbs etc... But one thing at a time~

Now I have tried other diets in the past.... Weight watchers was great I just got tired of converting everything to points. Also I found it strange that veggies did not count as points (or something like that) which I did not understand. Cause some are high in calories.Also I did the Doctor Phil book & it worked but then my emotions got the best of me.

So here I am trying something else & hopefully it will work. I have a great support group. My dad & husband are on it also. My dad who I love dearly & want to be here forever & ever has lost 61lbs. I am beyond proud of him. He has a very long road but He will get there... And I will help him.

All in all I just got to keep my eye of the prize...... being Skinny!!!

Ha ha just joking.... I would settle for being healthy & living a long life filled with awesome memories. And seeing my son grow & hopefully in the future grand kids....

Oats with Yogurt & Berries

I love this breakfast!!! But I have to admit one thing..... I HATE OATS!

Or so I thought. I refused to eat them for years. Then I heard on TV about some guy that made his oats in Micro wave & added Yogurt. So I tried it..... & LOVED IT.

So here is my recipe I make

3/4cups Oats

cook in Microwave in water that is enough to coat oats but not cover them in water. Cook for 2-2:30 mins

after cooking add 1 yogurt ( I love Yoplait Thick N Creamy Light strawberry)

Mix 1 cup of Berries ( my favorite Blueberries & strawberries)

add some sugar... reg sugar 1tsp = 15 calories or use your favorite sweetner

So calories

Oats 225 cal

ygrt 100 cal

Berries 50-75cal

------------------

total 375- 400 calories

So So Yummy in my Tummy

Had this for dinner tonight~

Hello My name is Ann. I am a mother & wife who is on the move towards a healthier life style. I have slowly figured out what works for me. KEEP in MIND what may work for me may not work for you.
Since I have started this journey I have lost 40 lbs in 103days. I refuse to give up eveything I enjoy. But have been more in tune with what is an actual portion. I am asked by alot of friends & family on how am I losing it, what do I eat, etc...
So this is my blog to try to help others..... again KEEP IN MIND what may work for me may not work for you. I am not a doctor so I can not advise you to do or try anything. It is simply what works for ME~

Enjoy~
