day 1 and 2- me!

I weighed myself Saturday morning, March 22, 2014, and am too embarrassed to even put in here. I know how much it is, it is haunting!!! But I am doing something ....again. This time I want to keep motivated and keep going, on my own, nobody except me. I had a trainer, I have friends, I even have my husband who is willing to walk with me....but I know it is all me, it's up to me. I am the one who puts food in my mouth. I am the one who decides to exercise. ME, just me !

So it helped that I am sick. Head cold in March...yeah!! But I am not hungry, good time to start. I thought about how I was going to do it. How I could lose 40 pounds without starving. LOW CARB, the old Atkins, Palm Beach Diet. It works, and you are never hungry. You just have to give up sugar.

                  

So I went to Trader Joes and loaded up on veggies, meats, eggs and cheeses. I even was out Saturday night, my first night, at the mall, and my husband and daughter wanted to go to Johnny Rockets. They had a club salad with grilled chicken. It was so good, and a little extra blue cheese dressing was perfect.

Today I had hard boiled eggs, sesame seeds and turkey sausage and salad for dinner. Like I said it's been pretty easy since I am not feeling well. For the first 2 weeks I will have no extras. Sticking to the basics. After 2 weeks I will add in other things like beans, sugar free jello and cool whip (which by the way is a god send). Also gaining back an old friend then losing them within a few weeks also makes it easier to lose)

So I have not weighed myself again, I will tomorrow. I am hoping to exercise a little tomorrow as well, depending on how I feel. EXERCISE is key! It really is. I am going to look into joining the online DAILY BURN. I like the idea of doing something different everyday between 30 and 60 minutes.

more tomorrow...k xoxo
