finally the scale moved!!!!

i was beginning to think i had hit a plateau that i just could not rebound from! finally though, i shed another 5 lbs this week, bringing my total weight lost thus far to 66 lbs. yay! i am very happy about that.



this week i have been doing alot better about writing down what i eat and i think that has helped me tremendously. obviously. monday and tuesday i was a little neauseous and a bit dizzy i think from the calorie shift but i kept on motoring through and somehow made it.



i plan on walking every night for the next 3 weeks at least. im meeting up with some old friends in october and i know it will make me feel even better if i can drop a few more pounds by then. i like the idea of walking every day anyway though and maybe if it isnt too horrible, i will continue it!



so here we go:

today's eats:

bfast--1 cup raspberries and blueberries fresh

lunch: broccoli soup and 1/2 baguette

dinner: chicken w brown rice and green beans


water: 8 glasses

exercise: 25 mins brisk walk

hi, it's me--the new girl

i figured a blog would be a good way to not only document my journey, but to help me to stick to a plan and keep things moving.

a little background.....married for nearly 3 years to a wonderful man who supports and loves me no matter. we were lucky enough to get pregnant with baby #1 on our anniversary, however, our hopes were later dashed when our child was lost. that is a pain i wouldn't wish on anyone. until i experienced it, i had no idea.

after many months of sadness and too many cheeseburgers i decided to finally put the fork down and get my butt in gear.

just so you know, i plan to go about this in a safe way and will not be taking any diet pills or doing anything drastic as it is my hope that a few more months into this project, dh and i will be able to conceive a sticky baby.

i have already lost just over 60 lbs so far in my journey and would like to drop another 50 more. so stick around and watch, read and ride this (probably bumpy) road with me.

hopefully you will see less of my flabby belly and more of my baby belly on the other side.
