NO, I don't drink so it is not that wagon! The wagon I am referring to is the diet and fitness wagon! Yup, it has been 48 hours since this venture started and I have already lost 1.5 lbs. on my way to a goal of 40-45 lbs. by August!
No I am not crash dieting!! I am walking and eating healthy and watching my portions and drinking tons of water! No really, I mean tons, I am not joking here! OK so the proper translation is gallons but I like tons better!
I am not taking any pills except a daily vitamin and fish oil capsules and I like how I feel so far! Now, I am not saying this is all a breeze because my hubby is NOT on a diet so I have to cook him the same old foods he always ate: steak, pizza, burgers, fries, spaghetti, you know, the good stuff! I am also making myself chicken, broccoli, salads, other various veggies and fruits. The good news is I can have 2 pieces of mushroom pizza a week so that will help with that craving plus I get 1 protein bar a day which helps with the chocolate cravings and I can eat out once in a while I just need to make sure it is in line with the rest of the day!
As far as will power, I have 0 but my motivation is shopping for a dress for the Colorado wedding in August! My nephew is getting married and I am doing the photography! Besides, I just want to look decent and feel GREAT! That is motivation enough for me!
I have done this before but usually when my hubby has been in Iraq! It was easy to cook like I need to and to hit the gym every day after Zach went to school! Now hubby is home and likes to eat and Sadie is with me all the time so the gym is not an option which is why I chose walking! I am working up to 3 miles a day! Right now I am at about 1.25 miles per day! Not bad for just getting started! I have also started doing squats and lunges and tricep dips. I have dug some hand weights out of the basement and I am ready to go!
I am going to post my journey once a week and you all are my new accountability partners!! Anyone want to join me? We can encourage each other!! Leave a comment if you would like to join me and let me know what you are doing so I can try it to!!! Good luck!
Today's photo is not the greatest self-portrait but I was playing! I will be posting a better one soon I promise!
