Week 2, Journey to the Centre of My Girth....

Just an update---- so far in 2 weeks of following the ratios, I have lost 7.5 lbs. So far my most challenging times are when I work a long shift and do not prepare food ahead of time or eating at our trailer. Some days with my busy lifestyle, fitting in an hour of exercise can be tough. I have managed to get at least 1/2 an hour a day, most days are an hour. If I am booked up all day, I will take walks in increments of 15 minutes, three times a day. This works for me and I have read studies that it is equally as effective as walking the full length.
Eating out can be tough, but you can more easily fit into the ratios if you eat the lower glycemic and fat foods as related to the glycemic index sheet available in the August newsletter. I found after week 2, I am not as tempted to eat fattening foods such as chips, breads, pasta and baked goods. Getting the proper ratios of carbs to fats and proteins helps me to feel satisfied.
