I am at an age where it is hard to lose weight. The last time I tried to lose weight I lost 45 lbs in about 3 months. It was great. I felt great and it took about 12 years to gain it all back. Do I want to lose 45 lbs again? No. I would like to lose 20 - 30 lbs. I would like to take about 2 months to lose 30 lbs but am fine if I simply lose 20.
After looking at the calorie intake and exercise that I currently do, I really need to change my mindset. I know that it is hard because I had some life changes and my boys and I live with my parents. Either my mother cooks or I do and while we talk about eating healthier, we really don't. I need to make a conscious effort to eat smaller portions and cut out excess sugars. I have already cut out sodas but have substituted the sparkling waters. They are zero calorie but they are sweet. I may have to cut some of those out.
I do not do a lot of exercising because I have a tendency to twist my ankles or my arthritic hip really hurts. So, the goal is to lose the weight so that I am not in pain and my clothes fit better. So here goes.
My Calorie plan will be as follows. Every week, I will reduce my calorie intake and try to increase my exercise.
