Not quite a pound, a blister and Happy Mothers Day!

-
213.6 today. I'm let down but considering the week I've had, I guess it's still ok. I guess I just feel like I should still be losing more even if I don't eat the best because I have cut SO much!

Here's what a typical day looked like before my diet:

Breakfast, every single day - Iced coffee & 2 oatmeal cream pies. 520 calories and 85g carbs

Lunch was typically fast food or left over dinners, but let's go with my favorite - 10pc chicken nuggets w/ 2 sauces, large fries & large coke. 1180 Calories 160g carbs

Snacks/sweets -
Chips 420  54
Candy bar  160 21
Ice cream bar 160cal 25g
Sodas - usually 6 cans of coke a day. 840   216

 CALORIES - 3,280      CARBS - 561
And this isn't including anything extra I may have grabbed. It was NOT uncommon for me to have a second coffee and a cream pie around 3pm as a "pick me up". It was not uncommon for me to grab a Oreo McFlurry or a 13 pack of cookies from McDonalds 2-3 (or more) times a week!

Now I'm averaging 1400 calories, 80g carbs or less! Drastic difference! Even the days I screw up and have donuts or something I'm still way lower than I was! So I guess I just hoped the weight would fall off easier. Not to mention I work out, EVERY SINGLE DAY! Even if it's only 15 minutes I do something! Before the most exercise I got was walking to the bus stop, which I still do!

Maybe I'm losing inches, I suppose I should try to track that! And I'm probably gaining muscle, which adds weight.


Speaking of exercise, I have my first blister on my foot! Ouch! I think since I'm doing this running I need better shoes so my Mothers Day gift to me will be new shoes!

Happy Mothers Day!!

 I did it!! I DID IT, I DID IT, I DIIIIIIDDDDD ITTT!!!! Excuse the blurry picture, crappy cell phone mixed with not being able to turn the light on (babies sleeping).  Tomorrow is weigh in but I'm doing it a day early because, well I had a feeling I'd be there. SO excited!!! This is the first time in years I've been under 200lbs!! Really motivates me to keep going!  My reward for this is - SKIPPING CHEAT DAY! Yes, I am done with cheat-day Sunday. We do DQ on Sundays so I may have a mini blizzard but I can eat half and fit that into my macros. Sunday always sets me back, then I'll screw up Monday and it's a vicious cycle so I'm just gonna stick to it. I've lost 25lbs in 11 weeks, so I know I can do another 25 in 3 more months! Although I know the lower I go, the harder it will be. I got this.  So what am I doing? People ask this, it's funny because on some of the facebook boards I'm one of the people asked how they did it, vs being...

More bad than good but...

This week has been more bad than good but somehow, I've lost more weight that previous weeks!! Husband filled the house with junk, he's been on vacation. I've had bday parties and playdates to go to. I had cake at the birthday party. We had DQ yesterday for a treat for the kids. We had a long day and no one felt like cooking so we ordered pizza. I wasn't going to eat it but I was starving and just didn't feel like cooking, even just for myself, so I had 3 slices - crust and all! I had a granola bar the other day (it was like 33g carbs). Sonic messed up my drink order and it was most certainly NOT diet. I actually didn't drink much of it, but I had some. I also have only got in 2 days of exercise all week! So this morning I got on that scale expecting to see the worst.... but instead I'm down 3.2lbs!! How did that even happen?! Am I starving my body? Is that why I'm not losing as fast? Should I be eating more? Maybe getting more carbs than 50? I don...

Why didn't I think of that?!

-
Yesterday afternoon I was talking to my oldest son about wanting a treadmill or an elliptical on our patio so while the girls play I could get in a workout. My husband chimes in, "why don't you just go jog around the goat yard?" Wait, what?! Why didn't I think of that?! Of course he's thinking of saving himself $200 but it was a great idea! I've always hated walking/jogging our neighborhoods because of.. neighbors. I feel like I'm being watched and maybe a little judged and it's just not my cup of tea. But out here, no one to watch! No one to judge! And it's a BIG area and if we wanted more we could actually go jog the front acre too! So my son and I had a little jog. He jogged a little, ok, a lot faster than me and he could have probably done 3x the laps I did but we did it! It felt good! We're gonna do it again today and tomorrow. Then add a lap each week. He loves working out so he's really enjoying my desire to exercise. On the foo...
