Hellooo to anyone who will read this!! DH is bound and determined to go to WDW next June, and there is no way I'm being photographed fat. No way I'm going to be too tired to walk all day long!
We just had visitors who took loads of photos & I couldn't believe the way I looked. When did I grow that third chin?! What IS that behind me?! Ok, not a problem, I can handle this. Sadly, I've done it before.
In 2007, I lost 25lbs by posting my journal here & receiving & sharing support with some awesome women here. I hope to be as lucky this time...yes, I gained it back plus...but that can't keep happening. This is a lifestyle change, baby!
I'm low carbing in (carbs are rough on me, but I love them) & cardio'ing in. I've got a membership at Planet Fitness that I've not found too effective but I'm going to balance that with some Turbo Jam and Kathy Smith. I shall bore you daily with my diet menus, my musings on my progress but I'd really, really appreciate any support or advice I can get.
So *drum roll, please* today I start journaling!!
What I did yesterday then:
Apple Cinn oatmeal for breakfast 130 cals
Coffee 40cals
one strawberry 7
4 chunks cantaloupe 30
1/2 c cottage cheese 120
hardboiled egg 75
Chicken Salad for lunch 279
Protein Shake 130
hamburg patty w/ Amer cheese 213
hot dog 130
salad 150
several gin & tonics (it was a party...I confess) 360
for 1664 calories
50 minutes of Kathy Smith's Fat Burning Workout
2 20 minute dog walking sessions (can't say thats much exercise, as he's pretty slow & likes to smell the roses)
I can see room for improvement...I can be honest here & I will! Today is another great chance to move closer to my goal!!
Thanks for reading!!
