OK, here goes my new journal! A quick introduction for any newbies that might be stopping by. I am a 34 year old married mom of 2 (DS10 and DD7). We have a beagle puppy. He is a total pain, but cute as can be! I have been journaling on WISH for a year now. Unfortunately I have gone the WRONG way with the scale, but that is about to change! I travel a lot and I tend to overindulge while traveling
My new journal starting weight is an appalling 146 lbs. YIKES! On my 54 (barely) frame, that is not a good thing. My goal is to get back down to 125, but I am not as concerned about the number on the scale as I am about looking good in my bikini. Believe me, I am NOT looking good in it right now! I expect those 6 lbs I gained on my vacation to go away relatively quickly, but after those are gone, Im really going to have to work! I am following the Body for Life for Women eating plan, which emphasizes eating small meals 3-4 hours apart. I need to behave for 12 short weeks. Each meal contains a protein, veggie and a healthy carb. I also get 1 small treat per day (if I feel I need it, which I always do!). I will keep my scale in the closet and only weigh myself on Friday mornings (Im a recovering scale addict!). Yesterday was awesome, I did great! I drank 100oz of water, 2 cups green tea and a Diet Coke:
6:15am: ½c Egg Beater w/Red Pepper & Spinach; ½ Bran Muffin
9:00am: FF Cottage Cheese (½c); Strawberries (1c)
11:00am: Chicken Salad (3oz Chicken, 2c Romaine, 2tbsp LF Dressing, 2tbsp Red Pepper, 1tbsp Crumbled Bacon, 2tbsp FF Feta)
2:30pm: 3 Egg Whites; Blueberries (½ pint); 10 Baby Carrots
6:00pm: Turkey Burritos (2 Low Carb Wheat Tortillas (50cal ea), ½c Ground Turkey, 4tbsp Shredded Cheddar, 2tbsp FF Sour Cream); 1 Crème Saver
WORKOUT: Weights (30min); Elliptical (35min)
RESISTED: I didnt have the urge to eat anything unhealthy today!!!!!
