First Week

So this first week of my new lifestyle has been great! I ate less, better, drank more water, and exercised! I got on the scale and my results....

I'M DOWN 2.6 POUNDS!

Right on track.... I figure I could REALLY cut back and ONLY eat healthy foods and lose more quickly, but let's be honest here - everyone knows I can't live like that, so even though this is going to be a slow process.... it is worth it because again, this is not a DIET, I am changing the way I live.

So the first week has been a success and I can't wait to report my successes next week!

YEAH FOR ME!

Getting in Shape

I have officially decided that it is MY TURN to get in shape and be happy with my body! It has been a long time since I have felt that way and now after having a baby - my body is definitely different! This is hard for me to talk about in something that I know friends and family read, but I feel like if I let everyone know that this is what I am doing, it will be easier for me to do it because I will have support from family and friends. So here is what I want to happen.

THE GOAL
- Lose 40 - 50 pounds by the first of February 2010

THE PLAN
- Eat less, eat healthier, and drink more water
- Exercise everyday for at least 30 min
- Lose 2.5 pounds a week

I have been doing this for not even a week now and I already feel better! I am on my way to becoming the woman I want to be and it feels GREAT!
