Today is the day to prep for tomorrow. Tomorrow I am starting The Plan. I am kind of sick of dieting and gaining the weight right back when I fall off. Ever since the birth of my son in 2011, it has been a struggle to keep the weight off. I have thyroid issues that have been diagnosed by a doctor, but still struggle with eating healthy and sticking to any diet plan. Then when I do get on the right track, something happens that causes me to go back to my unhealthy ways. I do love food. I wouldn't say I am a horrible eater. I don't eat a lot, but do love sweets and carbs. I try to stay between 1400-1600 calories a day and was working out quite a bit until I had a foot injury. I still wasn't able to lose much weight in the last year. I do eat desserts more than I should. I admit to it. I grew up in a house where there were always sweets, so I always feel the need to have something sweet after a meal. But, lately the pounds have been adding up, no matter what. Since the summer I seem to be just gaining weight. I have to make a change. I know my body is inflamed due to my thyroid issues and my hashimotos. I have also known after much research that I need to do an elimination diet. That's when I heard about The Plan and decided to take the leap and figure it out. I have the week off starting tomorrow, so why not. It can't hurt for me to try something that will hopefully tell me what is triggering the inflammation, bloating, brain fog, and weight gain.
So today, I spent the past hour and half prepping for my first day. I made carrot ginger soup, spicy coco sauce and flax granola. On to tomorrow when The Plan begins. I am hoping for answers and weight loss. The first days will be hard, but I'm willing to try anything at this point.
