weight loss…

GOOD MORNING! Headache is gone. Also I weighed in this morning and I have lost 2lbs 3oz this week so far! I am very proud of myself. Dinner last night was amazing. I made a Boca Chicken BLT Salad. Second picture is of my dinner the night before that I promised. 🙂

This morning on the bus, there was a new driver and he was very rude to everyone! If you don’t like your job QUIT! I also realized something this morning on my way to work. On the corner of Elm and Akard (every morning) is this guy who works for “Dallas Street Zine” a local paper. He is what puts a smile on my face every morning! He is SOO happy no matter what the weather conditions are, out there dancing, doing the running man and all covered with pigeons!!! The Dallas birds LOVE this man! He gets out in front of the bus and will serenade us and just bring such a positive moment to our (or at least mine) mornings!  Well this past week he hasn’t been there!!! I wonder if he moved locations downtown or if he quit. Either way I would like to thank him for making me smile daily.

So, its Friday and I am ready for this work week to be over with! I am ready to sit out in the back yard with my dogs with a big glass of iced tea and soak up some sun!

Hope everyone has a great Friday.

Good day~

I have a plan….

Good morning world!

Here is what I ate last night

Meatball Subs with mozzarella and green onions and a side of Sweet Potato Fries

It was DELICIOUS….not the healthiest food choice but delicious. 🙂

That being said…I have decided that I am done with being the unhealthy, overweight, poor eating person that I have become! Time to head down the path of being the person I KNOW I can be!

As far as exercise…I walk….ALOT…but it’s obviously not enough! Starting Monday 4/8/2013 I am beginning a 30 day walk to run challenge. So in 30 days from now I should be able to jog/run a full 30 minutes. I will update daily on my progress as this will help me be completely honest and committed to finishing my goal!

As far as eating habits….goodbye fried food, over processed foods, fatty foods…well you get the idea 😉 I have decided to start a “Whole Food Lifestyle” This will defiantly take some time getting used to and incorporating it into my eating habits 100% so I plan to slowly eat or toss what is in our kitchen while bringing in the healthier “whole foods”

The hardest part for me is going to be kicking the soda habit. Right now I am drinking about 2 20oz a day…which is better than what I was drinking (12pk in 24 hrs)

Last night I made some homemade oatmeal squares to cure my sweet tooth craving! SOOOOO YUMMY!  Way better than store-bought snacks IMO.

Ingredients:

• Quick Oats
• Honey
• Raw Peanut Butter
• Coconut Flakes
• Coconut Oil
• Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

I don’t really know the measurements because I just kinda threw it together!!! I’ll make sure I measure next time. In the pic below they were just made and not set properly. After about 30 min in the fridge they were nice and firm!

So for the next couple weeks I am sure I will be cranky and complain…a lot. But I can get through this and I WILL get to the place I desire to be.

Here goes….
