I started this blog one week ago and so I thought I would hop on the scale and see what's happened. I'm down 3 pounds, which means that in the past three weeks I've lost around 8 pounds!! I attribute this to, exercising, snacking on fruits and vegetables instead of chips and crackers (for the most part :-), not eating food off of my kid's plates, reducing portion size, and staying away from sweets (again, for the most part :-). Have I been perfect? Absolutely not. Have I beat myself up when I haven't followed the plan I wanted to follow to a T? No (well, not much). Did I want to throw in the towel yesterday? Yes. Are my SWEATPANTS feeling better around my upper thighs/bum? Yes. But does that mean the diet is over, just because my SWEATPANTS feel looser? No! Because all my other "non-stay-at-home-mom pants" DON'T FIT!!! (I write this because sometimes I feel like I'm "done with the new healthy eating" just because something like sweatpants feel better...aaaah, no).
Uh oh, got a crying toddler....back to the blog later :-) PS, the crying toddler is WHY this post is being posted at 5:30am on a Sunday. Just in case any of you were thinking I was crazy! :-)
