I was 150 (5’8”) and today scaled in at 139.5.
I feel like I figured something out and I want to share it with anybody who might be in the same boat - eating healthy takes some time to get used to. I always enjoyed healthy meals when they were put in front of me but I never made them at home because I didn’t want my husband to starve* and generally opted for the ‘sort of’ healthy options when out to eat.
What I learned recently is that I love salads more than any other food option lately. I started with (any kind of) salad plus a protein at dinner every night and after a week it made me feel so much better in the morning to make quality breakfast. Plus I feel better at night because I’m not so darn full. Anyway, the salads have been huge and I generally do grilled chicken, steak, or shrimp but I load the greens up with fun stuff like typical veggies, avocado, beans, feta, and corn. I only use balsamic as dressing though and you’d be surprised how different balsamic vinegar can be.
I didn’t change a thing about my breakfast or lunch before starting dinner salad and I started losing a few ounces a day. When my husband* recognized he was feeling better after a salad dinner, he started requesting healthier lunches and we have been non stop!
- He is the typical steak and pasta man - I also come from a family where feeding the kids and husband traditionally overrules mom (meals should be tasty and caloric). It was a tough walk at first.
