    Day 5

    Today was another busy day!  I did pretty well food wise, but I'll only have a chance to do PIlates again today.  Our satellite was messed up last night so I didn't get to see the show (but thank you Nicky for DVR'ing it for me!).  Tomorrow we start our Biggest Loser contest at my work--I'm so pumped!  I think that will give me even more motivation that this site has! 
     
    Breakfast--Whole wheat bagel, coffee
    Lunch--Weight Watchers lunch (chicken parmesan)
    Snack--Small order of popcorn chicken from Sonic (I ate half and saved the other half for later, that's better than all at once, right? Angel), and a     diet coke w/ cherry
    Dinner--Turkey breast on white-wheat bread and a 100 calorie pack of chocolate cupcakes
     
    Exercise--Pilates

    Day 4

    It was so rainy outside today. . Today was not the best day i have had. I had a big dr pepper which i know that i shouldn't have had but it is just so hard. . .Food wise i did ok. I wasn't able to get out and go walking but i did do my excerise machine. . Lets just say i have a lot to catch up on tomorrow. I just hope that when i start school i am able to resist getting my usual dr.pepper at break time. Gosh i wish that i liked diet things. I went to walmart last night to get some healthy things to eat. I got some slim fast, slim fast snack bars, some veggies, egg whites(Yes jill i decided to try them:) ) For some reason yesterday it was just a gloomy day. . Nothing seemed to happen right . . . But any  ways hopefully day 5 will be better.
     Happy Birthday Jeremiah:)

    Day 4

    Today was a very hectic day.  It was our second day back in school after the Christmas break, plus it's my son's birthday so I was busy buying cupcakes (didn't have any, thank you very much!) and getting ready for Saturday's party.  I didn't have a chance to do any major exercise but I will do some pilates exercises before bed.  Food-wise I did pretty good, and I didn't have any hard-to-handle food tempations.  Overall it was a good day!  ~*Happy Birthday Jeremiah*~
     
    Breakfast--Whole wheat bagel, coffee
    Lunch--Weight Watchers micro. dinner--Chicken alfredo
    Snacks--Banana, whole wheat bagel
    Dinner--Turkey Sandwich on white-wheat bread, banana, & fat-free Pringles
     
    Exercise--Pilates

    Day 3

    Day 3 was my easiest day so far.  I didn't have much temptation to deal with (except at snack-time in my preschool class), and I had some fun exercising.  Nicky and I went walking about  3 miles.  I pushed my 4-year-old and my 1-year-old in the double stroller which definitely added some burn!   I also feel motivated today because my school is getting ready to start a Biggest Loser contest and that's all anyone's talking about.  Had a great day, hope everyone else did too!
     
    Breakfast--Whole wheat bagel & coffee (no time for egg whites now that we're back in school!)
    Lunch--Weight Watchers microwave dinner--Saulsbury steak & mac n cheese, which was actually really good
    Dinner--Grilled chicken salad w/ fat free ranch
    Snack--apple slices (about equivalent to half a medium apple I think), banana

    Exercise--Walked with Nicky appx 3 miles

    Day 3

    Ok today i actually went to a fast food resturtant which was probaly not the best idea but it sure sounded good at the time. We went to mcdonalds and i had 6 chicken mcnuggets and a few friench fries. . boy it was sooooo good. . .but soooo bad lol. . Me and Jill went walking tonight we started out doing our now usual mile and jill decided to surprise me and see if i wanted to walk around the college. . So we did. . about 3 miles. . and it was actually not that bad. . .now that i am home my legs hurt a lil bit but not near as bad as i thought. This exercise thing is so much easier with a friend. . by this summer we might actually be in a two piece without shorts and t-shirts. lol. . .hey anything is possible. Well I guess that is about it for today. . .

    Day 2

    Today seemed to go on forever. I did pretty good with my eating. I had a lil late night snack but i have taught myself that when i eat I dont always have to fill up my plate just to have a little bit at a time. At first that was hard because when fixing my plate i was used to filling it up and then eating everything it. Since i have been eating smaller portions i have lost some weight. Tonight jill and I went walking. We walked for a mile and it felt so good. It was kind of a funny experience. We had 4 kids with us. . so it was quite interesting but it was refreashing. We did a lil sprint and it really showed me how out of shape i really am. Well that is about it. until next time. . .

    Day 2

    Today I did pretty well, except for lunch.  I had a good breakfast, good dinner.  But my family and I went out to eat after church and I couldn't resist the temptation to order my regular at our favorite Mexican restaurant--chicken fajita nachos (tortilla chips, grilled chicken, & queso). I felt guilty (especially when I told Nicky!), but like I said, I did good at breakfast and dinner.  Fortunately I go back to work tomorrow so that eating out temptation won't be there.  Hopefully I'll be able to make better food choices during the week and by next weekend I will have some momentum. Smile
     
    Breakfast--Whole wheat bagel, egg whites, coffee
    Lunch--Chicken fajita nachos
    Dinner--Salad (fat free dressing), banana
     
    Exercise--Walked a mile with Nicky (with a short burst of sprinting that left us both hysterically out of breath!)
     
    Good luck everybody!

    Day 1

    Ok so day 1 actually went ok. I mean it is never easy try and lose weight but it is getting a little bit easier than it used to be. I guess it is because i have figured out that i am fat and I don't like it . lol. At the end of the day I stayed under 1200 calories. I really wish that I could find some healthy recipies that I actually like.  It seems like everthing that is low fat or fat free I don't like. I am trying to quit drinking dr.pepper but it is so hard. I guess that is my BIGGEST weakness.  I went walking with the kids which was not as easy as I thought it would be. Trying to push a stroller and the other kid wanting to hold your hand while walking up a huge hill completely out of breath was very difficult. But I felt so much better after i was done. I also jumped on my mini trampoline, did some leg exercises and started working on my sit ups. so far i was only able to do 10 (sad i know) but I will get better. I was proud of myself i drank alot of water yesterday and i didn't eat anything after 6 which was so hard. oh wait yes i did i ate a grapefruit but i don't think that will hurt. Well i guess that is it until tomorrow.

    Day 1

    The first day was actually harder than I expected.  I did great until my family & I were coming home from a mini-trip.  My husband said that he was going to stop at a fast food place, and I was SO tempted to get something fattening even though I'd had a salad for dinner a few hours earlierDon't tell anyone .  I held strong though, and just had some of the pickles off his burger! Angel*lol*  Here's an overview of what I did and ate today:
     
    Breakfast--Whole Wheat Bagel, Egg Whites, & Coffee
    Lunch--Salad w/ imitation bacon bits, Kraft Free Italian Dressing, and fat free croutons, & a sugar free jello cup
    Dinner--McDonalds chicken-bacon-ranch salad
    Snack--Whole Wheat Bagel
     
    Exercise--Jumped on the trampoline in 3 minute intervals (which is harder than it sounds, especially for a chunky girl!)
     
    Even though the first day held more temptations than I expected, I think I've started out well, and I'm looking forward to continuing this challenge--I can't wait to start seeing some results!
