I have not blogged for 15 days since I started my new 17 day diet and let me tell you what I was NOT doing...
I did not give into the temptation to...
eat a cheeseburger when my entire family stopped for fast food on a road trip
take a bite of the kraft mac and cheese I was serving my daughter
eat ANY of the ice cream cookie cake my MIL bought for valentines day
devour a piece of my 6 year old nephew's birthday cake or ice cream or toppings
I did however find myself cheating a bit...
I ate one sugar cookie on valentines day...what do you expect! I mixed, rolled out, baked, frosted and decorated over 2 dozen heart shaped cookies for family and friends.
I consumed fruit after 2pm and
had a very small portion of whole wheat pasta.
But after all these ups and downs I am super excited to announce that I hit my first blogging goal of losing 20lbs! That means that I have lost 40lbs so far this year. I am keeping to my reward to myself and getting a new hair style. I have been pinning lots of ombre styles and found one I really love.
My next goal is another 35lbs by my 30th birthday in August. If I can obtain that goal I will weigh less than when I got married. To make things a little easier I am going to break the goal into two obtainable parts.
20 more lbs by June.
Wish me luck.
You have some really great willpower. Rob and I were going to do this seven day cleanse I read about where you eat fruit and vegetables to your hearts content for the first three days, then red meat, bananas, and milk the next two, then back to veggies and fruit juice, to total seven days. Well... by 5pm on day one after eating fruit all morning we both caved and met up at Buffalo wings and Ribs for their Wednesday night special of all you can eat. And yes, I had the most wings I have ever eaten in one sitting that night {nine}. And Rob got a pop. Because seriously when you CAN'T have something, it becomes the only thing you can think about. I just wanted a piece of bread. So anyhow, good job on attaining your goals! And good luck on the next 20lbs!
