Day 4

So what did I do today? Nothing. No workout. I am SO sore! I'm going to have to pick it up tomorrow. I thought I could work out in the morning, but I am so not a morning person. I'll have to go back to working out as soon as I get home. That's the only way I'll do it.

I did ok with food today. No journal, but stayed on track and didn't eat terribly.

Tomorrow's another day. :)

Hey world! Did ok today. Did my workouts this morning, but kinda slacked on the running. Just couldn't do it. Jillian killed me today. It will get easier.

Day 2

Good morning!  What a beautiful day here in NJ.  We're off to a party today, so I have to really watch what I eat.  I'm going to have to work out tonight when we get back.  No time to do it this morning.  I really should have gotten up an hour early to work out.  I'm going to try and do that tomorrow...before the kids wake up. 

Today's Meals
7:30 AM - 3 egg whites, 1 egg, 1 slice Ezekiel bread, 8oz. coffee w/ half & half
10:30 AM - 8oz. Muscle Milk Light Chocolate

Day 1

Ok, here we go.  I've never blogged about weight loss before so we'll see how this goes.  I've been struggling with my weight since having my son 3 years ago and my daughter almost 9 months ago.  Since having my daughter I've lost all her baby weight, but I'm still hanging on to the 10 lbs I never got off when I had my son.  I'll have to measure myself tonight and edit this post with my measurements, but I weighed myself this morning, so here we go:

Stats

Weight: 134.4
Waist: 31
Arm: 11
Hips: 41
Thigh: 25
Calf: 13.5

In the next 30 days I'll be training for my first 5K and I'll be working out with Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred.  There are 3 levels.  I have to do each level for 10 days.  By the end of 30 days, I hope to see a big change in my body.  With running, toning and eating right, I HAVE to see a change.

Weight loss is comprised of about 80% diet and 20% exercise.  This is so true...you are what you eat.  I'm hoping that blogging about my journey will help me and others achieve at least a 10 lbs weight loss goal.

I will be eating every three hours and will drink at least a gallon of water a day.

I've marked up my water bottle to help me drink during the day.  Saw this on Pinterest.  LOVE that site :)

Today's Meals

7:00 AM - 2 egg whites, 1 egg, 1 slice Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Grain Bread, 4 oz. Motts for Tots Apple Juice

10:00 AM - 8oz. Muscle Milk Light Chocolate
11:00 AM - Snack size kit kat (slowly steering away from these. It's hard!)
12:30 AM - Starbucks chicken & hummus bistro pack

I've been doing a lot of research and carbs really kill your weight loss, but not all carbs.  You have to eat the right carbs and the right fats.

Carbs you should eat:
- Sprouted bread
- Quinoa
- Sweet potatoes
- Fruits and vegetables

Fats you should eat:
- Real butter
- Eggs
- Coconut oil
- Olive oil
- Avocado
- Raw nuts

Sugar and processed foods are your enemy!  Try and stick to eating foods that have one ingredient.
