Its been a Month :)

Its been a month and I am still going strong! (for the most part :P) I had my weigh in today and i lost about 3 more pounds and over 7 inches this time! That is a grand total of over 9lbs and over 23 inches in one month! i'm on a roll!! At this rate i could lose my goal weight (100lbs) in 10 months :D I am trying to incorporate more exercising and such in my daily routine. Whenever i go to the park with the girls i try to run around or play with them, to get them active and myself. I've been doing pretty good with my eating habits besides missing a shake meal here and there and i will admit, i bought some dark chocolate the other day.. (its healthy right?!) Although i only ate a few pieces every day.. in fact i still have some of it left in the freezer. So snacking on dark chocolate like that isn't bad right. I mean, I've heard dark chocolate is actually good for you because of the antioxidants or whatever. And if that's not true, i don't wanna hear it!!

3 week weigh in!

I lost 4 lbs!!! WOO HOOO!!! im DEFINITELY going bike riding more often now! i just need to get a bike though, so Emma can go with me in the mornings.. i gained a half an inch in my waist area and lost an inch in another place that i cant think of... so my inches didnt go down that much but my weight did and im super excited about that!!!! its a fair trade i think!! WOO!!!

Getting a bit harder.

So it seemed to me that my first couple weeks went by fine, i didnt get cravings. I was perfectly fine with my shakes and my healthy food. This week has been tougher. I've started wanting to get ranch or some other sauce on my sandwich or some candy, or eat pizza for dinner that my family has suddenly been getting more recently. For the most part ive held my ground, with a few stumbles (i got mayo on my sandwich and had some fried chicken strips yesterday). I think i may be getting bored of the same food, so i want to relapse back into the food i know i loved and was delicious to me. Tonight was really dificult. The fam got pizza and ate it in front of me while i had a chicken salad from work. Dont get me wrong, the salad was delicious, but it wasnt pizza. Also the idea of not letting myself eat whatever i want, whenever i want is starting to be a challenge to. I think this would be much easier if i was living alone and only had good healthy food choices on hand unlike the cookies in the freezer or the popcorn in the cupboard...but i cant afford my own place right now sadly so i just have to deal. Who am i to say my family cant eat what they want..... although it would be nice if i could, hah! Jeanna is coming to weigh me in tomorrow so im anxious to see if these little cheats i did had an impact on my weightloss this past week. Im hoping i will have lost more in a week then last week because i have been exercising more. Im still kinda scared to see what that scale reads in at! Oh well, it is what it is amirite? Anyways, if you could leave me some words of encouragement or some new healthy food ideas in the comments to help me get over this little struggling period that would be awesome! ive been having alot of what i have posted in my few previous posts..with the peppers and the mushrooms and such. so if you have any other veggie ideas or anything like that pleeeaaseee leave me a comment! thank you :)
