Gained a Pound

Yeah. My first week did not go very well. I am just dreading doing it. Eating healthy does get easier the longer you do it. It is just the transition, that first week where you feel like crap because you are hungry, and craving and feel weak and tired because you are eating a lot less than you used to. The good thing is that I haven't been overeating. I have been low on energy lately. I want to get my thyroid checked by my doctor but I haven't got around to it. Blah. I am just full of excuses. But I did want to be honest and check in.

I looked back on my pregancy journal from my second child. My current weight is only 5 pounds less that when I was full term pregnant. Ack! That's bad. So I really need to do something.

My workouts have been good and I am enjoying them.

Start Day!

Actually yesterday was Start Day, but I didn't get to post until today! Yes I am starting again eating right and exercising. Yesterday was a Great day. I got a good workout in and ate terrific. Today I got a good workout in and ate good until this evening. I did not eat enough during the day and I was STARVING and cooking dinner at the same time. Well I picked on things I shouldn't have picked on just because I couldn't wait until my food was cooked. It will take me a day or two to get it all worked out again.

I went to Florida for the holidays. My parents live in West Palm Beach. My whole family was there except for my one brother. It was great but I did a lot of damage food wise. At one point my mom gave me the job of unwrapping the hershey kisses for the peanut butter blossom cookies that she was making. Ack!! I ate my mom's cookies every day! That is why I didn't even want to bother starting until after the holiday. I knew a week in my Mom's house with a load of home baked goodies would be too hard.

I made a nice goal poster with all my workouts posted on it. My husband said that if I work half as hard on my diet and exercise as I did on the poster, I will be doing great! He was making fun of my goal poster:) My husband asked me if I was going to get my bikini body back by spring. I said yes! He is really giving me a hard time about my weight. He still loves me of course but he is not used to seeing me this way.

Onward and upward.
Scale weight today: 121 lb (I was 112 this past summer)
