Welcome To My One Day At A Time, One Pound At A Time Journey!

Welcome to my long journey of losing 146 pounds. So many of us have some pounds to loss and I want to share my journey with everyone because it holds me accountable. I am determined to do it this time and be honest with myself and you. I started this journey December 18, 2010 and plan on hitting it one pound a week, slow and steady! Join me as I share my struggles, my heart ache, my achievements, my excitement, and my new found energy!

Weigh in #3!

Weigh in #3!- written on 1-7-11

So today I was pleasantly surprised that I lost .4 pounds.  I say pleasantly surprised because it was a fun week!  We had New Years, date night, and steak dinner in the last 7 days. I was very happy when I looked back upon the week and realized I made some good choices and I am happy about those choices.
  • New Years Eve and Day- I ate what ever I wanted but I was mindful of how much I put in my mouth. I also did a Turbo Jam before I went to our gathering and while at the gathering we played the Wii Just Dance games so I was up and moving.  The midnight picture with my husband is horrible because I am all red and sweating but at least I will always remember that I was moving!
  • Wednesday my husband and I had a night out with some friends (our first outing without the kids since our newborn!) We went to TGI Friday's and I was SCARED! I was scared because Friday's is where I ALWAYS get the Jack Daniels Burger with french fries and a Coke. I knew and was ready to find a better choice for dinner. I had the Jack Daniels Chicken dinner with sweet potato fries and steamed veggies. YES JULIA HAD STEAMED VEGGIES AND ATE ALL OF THEM! I was very upset to find out our appetizer, the Jack Daniels Strips were over 1400 calories!  We split them but still it added up to over 700 calories for an appetizer!!!  I will never order that again.  We had a great dinner and I left happy, satisfied, and excited about my choices.  There have been other times when I ordered a healthy choice but left unhappy and very unsatisfied.  I always went back to my unhealthy choice, not this time.  I'm looking forward to our next outing!
  • Last night we had tri-tip steak, mashed potatoes, and steamed carrots.  It was a good dinner that my dad made.  I made sure to have a small cut of meat and I had lots of steamed carrots.  I may have had a little too many mashed potatoes but didn't go overboard.
This week was great for working out!  I made sure to do Yoga, Turbo Jam, and The Biggest Loser Last Chance workout.  It felt good!  I enjoyed the change in workouts and it is amazing how great I felt afterward.

I am really happy about the choices I am making and feel great.  I don't ever want to lose this feeling!
