I have a friend (Cristin) who started a "Raw food diet"....(By the way...you go girl because that isn't something just anyone can do.) Her diet got me seeing me and the weight I still like to refer to as "baby weight!" Come on self! Sydney is 3 years old....seriously...you can't REALLY call that "baby weight!"So, with Cristin's motivation I decided not necessarily to diet but to make a Lifestyle Change.
When I mentioned this to my second mom (Matt's mom) she was on board with me! I gave it a trial run last weekend but didn't technically get started til Monday. So that makes today actually only day 4. I am hoping that this first week is the hardest.
I like to snack when I study and my cravings still sneak up on me but its wonderful to be able to text my mother in law when I feel "snacky" and she helps me and I try to help her. Our weight loss goal is about the same amount and I know that by keeping one another motivated, we can do this. I am sure I will have days when I slip...right now I think I could eat a Big Mac and not think twice about it. But, I am looking forward to losing the weight and making a lifestyle change.
I try to exercise an hour a day. Matt and I bought a Wii and I LOVE IT! It was a great investment. I bought "Just dance" and it really makes you break a sweat. It's a great cardio workout.
I can't wait to see where I am with all of this next month.
