Month 1 of My Diet

Ok, so I have been on my diet for exactly a month now. And I am very pleased to say that I have lost 10lbs. It might sound like much but I am using the Lose It app for my Iphone and according to it I will reach my goal by my birthday if I lose just 2lbs. a week. And I've lost more then was expected for the first month. 

Me and Aubree went to the grocery store today and everything I put into the cart was healthy. With the exception of teddy grahams and such for her. I have had temptations sitting around the house. Right now there are mini cupcakes sitting in the fridge that I bought for Aubree. I keep thinking ehhhh it won't hurt just to eat one. But I keep resisting the urge. 

I let myself have one bad day a week. And only for one meal. I normally go out to cookout or get chicken tenders from my work. So its really not that bad I still have all that protein in the chicken, its the sides I get with it that are bad like the macaroni and cheese and the fries lol. 

I'm really proud of myself for sticking on this diet so far. Normally I don't make it this far. But I am determined to keep this up because I don't want Aubree to have the fat mom that can't run around and play with her.

Diet Week Numero Uno

This is the end of the very first week of my new diet. It has been so incredibly easy for me to stay on target. And I'm not quite sure why. Maybe it has something to do with being a new year and all. Anyways, I've been eating super healthy and working out almost everyday of the week. I've lost 5lbs this week and even though it does not seem like alot, I am so stoked that I've lost it. I never plan on being this big ever again. I'm not sure how I really got this big without creating some concern in my head. If you have a hickory tavern near you, I suggest you go there and get the fiesta salad. It is sooo yummy. I went Friday and Saturday to eat it. lol. I work out at home for the most part playing zumba videos that I've found on Youtube.com. I have a treadmill at home but it doesnt work most of the time or it'll cut off 2 minutes in. I need to buy a gym membership to Planet Fitness so I can go while Aubree is taking a nap or after I put her to bed at night.

I really hope that soon I can begin to start posting pictures of me skinnier. That would make me the happiest person in the world :)
