President's Day, Monday, February 15, 2016

Well, today I didn't get all my steps in or my water in, however I did eat well.

For lunch I had a cup of tomato soup with a salad.

For dinner I had the Schwan's LiveSmart mini pot roast

Schwan's Mini Pot Roast along with a small baked potato with I can't believe it's not butter spray and low fat shredded cheese.  I also had a small side salad.

Now, I did take a dip into the valentine candy, but it was brief and didn't do anything for me.  :)

One pound, one day at a time.

Ok, Here we go again

So, I haven't posted in a while, ok, not a while, like years!!  What has happened to the time??  I'm not sure, but one thing I do know is that I had lost a lot of weight, and now it is creeping back up, and by creeping, I mean I am almost back to my starting weight.  So, here's to new beginnings and a renewed sense of energy and desire to lose weight.  Just to clarify, I am starting out here at 231 lbs.  I still have a goal of losing 50lbs and I have a plan this time.

My plan starts with my diet.  I have adopted the clean eating mentality and have been researching and trying new clean meals, many of which are very good.  I have also gotten back to my Advocare products and will be using them in this journey.  I have also increased my water intake and plan on doing better at meal planning and weekly grocery shopping.

The second part of my plan includes regular exercise.  Since Christmas when I received my Fitbit, I have been trying to increase my steps DAILY!!  I can tell a difference in how I feel and what the scale says when I hit those 10K steps a day.  Also, I have recently purchased a membership to the local community gym.  I have gone about 3 times just to get used to the set up, the equipment, times of days, etc.  I am committing to going 3x a week.

Last, I have my very supportive husband and daughter on board to keep me on track.  They love me the way I am, but want me to be successful, not matter what I am trying to do.

So, that is it in a nutshell.  I will be posting more frequently to keep a journal of what I eat and how my journey is coming along.

One day.  One pound at a time.
