So thankful...

I have a lot going on in my little world right now. I wish that someday I'll be able to talk about it on here, but for right now its going to have to stay private. With everything that is happening, I am so incredibly thankful for my husband and my children to keep me grounded. When the world around me is falling apart; when my heart is breaking for one of the most important people in my life, they are the ones that are my one true reality.

Operation Skinny Update

Operation Skinny Update...


Not the greatest 1st week of my journey, but I will accept the loss for what its worth :-)... a few pounds closer to my goal.


A few challenges and some successes:


Successes:
1) Took my son to the park to race. Its good exercise!

2) Said "no" to a FREE sample of a brownie at a bakery I was working at with a client of mine!!

3) Tried to make healthy meals given the current lack of food at my house this week.

Challenges:
1) Do not start a weight loss journey if you haven't gone grocery shopping for the week. Makes it hard to eat healthy balanced meals.
2) Its in your head! Throw the damn devil off your shoulder and stay away from the ice cream in the freezer. You can do it.
3) Stop being lazy and walk, walk, walk.
4) Drink more water. Get rid of the Coke Zero (by giving them away... not consuming them).


I finally went grocery shopping yesterday. My fridge is stocked with fruits and veggies, light string cheese, and a ton of yogurt. My pantry now has some baked chips, nuts, and healthy cereal :-) Its only 7am but I have been up for about 30 minutes and I'm ready to take a walk with the kiddos after breakfast. Its going to be a great week!
