update for week 1...

This has been a great week so far! I love when I feel so motivated...

I have to say thanks to the comments from my first post. I was kind of scared of doing this blog because everyone would know that I was trying to lose weight and if it didn't happen, everyone would know that I had failed. I guess that is what I liked about doing this blog too... I don't want to fail especially because everyone knows about it!

These past few days have been great! I have stayed strict to my "no carbs for 2 weeks policy" and sure enough, I am feeling good! I am just going to ramble on and on on this blog so here is your disclaimer.

Things that I have LOVED the past few days:
Tillapia and Salmon... Mmmm! It is a little more expensive, but I have found that it is worth it!
Homemade Lettuce Wraps (without my sugary sauce though! soy sauce and a little yoshidas)
Low Fat Plain yogurt...who knew?
String Cheese
Omelet for Breakfast
Cucumbers...Pickles...cabbage...brocolli...etc.

Working on my T Shirt Quilt (finally) has kept me busy!

Looking at old pictures of myself (and taking new for progress) has kept me motivated!

Going past the bakery at Costco was not easy... But I survived!

Cleaning out our nasty fridge made me never want to eat again!
"How long has that been back there? I can't even tell you what it is..."
Yes... Gross!

Being pleasantly surprised by dropping numbers on the scale... yet I won't record it until my week mark because it fluctuates so much in a day. "Oh hey! I just went to the bathroom and lost a pound!!" Umm... no.

Other times I have done diets and never really stuck with them... I cheated. A small bite here... a little chocolate there... But, I haven't cheated yet. I know it is only day 4... but I am still ready to be no cheater!

Um... yay! I am rambling. It is helping me! You probably shouldn't read this blog for any major insights on life or anything. I don't have great things to say... But I am working through this, and so far...it's working!

  4. I like the ramblings of your brain! It is so funny! I totally always weigh myself after I use the bathroom. I laughed out loud when you said that! And you t-shirt quilt?! Call me and we can do it together. I just finished mine. Love you!
