Changing my life

I only have a quick minute but here is my official “before” pic and one taken this past weekend. My “during” pic..

Get lost and dont come back!
 I cheated and didn’t wait until May 1 to step on the scale.  Im glad I didn’t because I was down 8 pounds from last month bringing my total to 50 pounds.  WOOOOTY WOOT WOOT! 30 more to go!!

I’ve been dragging my feet this week. I am very tired and my kids have been sick so I have been up nights with them, and my lack of sleep is definitely showing itself when I go to the gym. I push myself hard and each time I go I try to go a little [...]

I couldn’t live without potatoes.  I could never do a plan that said I could not eat potatoes.  mmmmmm They are so good! I have probably indulged a bit too much the past few days though.  I had a baked potatoe yesterday with butter and sour creme, mashed potatoes the day before also with butter, [...]

Today was a better day in terms of eating.  I didn’t feel like I needed to eat the house.  I did have a bit of ice cream but it was a portion controlled  amount.  I went tot church this morning and spent the afternoon at home reading, it was pretty nice.  We had small group [...]
