Weight Loss Week 1

Hey everyone!!!
Well I did it. I lost 4 pounds last week!! That was with no exercise, so can you imagine the amount of weight I'll lose when I incorporate exercise. OUTSTANDING!!!
One thing I realized is that on the weekends...I CANNOT wing it. I have to also plan my meals for that.
Also, my water intake was horrible, so I need to think of something to do so that I can get my water in.

Other than that, I am very pleased with my eating thus far.

Have a great day!!!!!

Update

Hi everyone
Well I've been neglecting this blog, but I came in to say that I have had a FABULOUS week. I have stayed on my plan even though there were temptations to cheat (ie, cake, ice cream, etc) but I stayed strong because I had my eyes on the prize. I didn't get to work out this week, but I'll definitely be incorporating that into my life change plan next week.

I need to up the anty on my water intake. It's so easy for the day to go by without me drinking my water, so I'm developing a plan for that too.

The kids get out of school next week so I'll be able to go to work earlier and catch ZUMBA at the YMCA...whooo hooo!! I've done it once and it's SOO much fun. If there are any Zumba classes in your area, I encourage you to sign up for it. It doesn't feel like a workout at the moment but shoo...the next morning..yeah, you feel it...LOL.

Well that's all for now. Weigh in is on Sunday and I'm feeling lighter, so if I've even lost 1 pound, I'll be happy because I'm on my way!!!

Peace and Blessings.

Day 1

Today is day 1 of my 90 day challenge.

I did extremely well with following my meal plan. I got down my 8 glasses of water and stayed away from the skittles in the snack vending machine that was calling my name..lol.

I did not go to the gym as I wanted to today because my children both have project coming up.. Can someone please explain to me how 2 weeks before school is over why my kids still have projects?!?!?! Oh well, the price we pay for good education!!!

I'm sure I will get to the gym this week to get my 3 days in, so stay tuned!!
