It was also bitter sweet because I didn't go jogging. I paid for it tonight. I went over 3 miles, mixing between running and VERY brisk walking. This kids calfs are d.e.a.d right now. And I sweat like an animal. Yum.
( I probably smell like one too xD )
So anyhow. I did my weigh in today.. 186. Still nowhere. Inches are still lost. I'm suspecting possible water retention though. I haven't drank enough water. Gotta work on that for sure.
On a side note I am leaving for FWB/Destin on Thursday; 4am sharp with 2 toddlers all by myself as my husband is anxiously awaiting the news if he got his job or not. Praying he does. It'd help us out, and cut our stresses tremendously. Other than the beginning of us being there.. this is pretty much how I feel right now about getting ready to return to the white sand beaches and teal colored waters that I still call my home.
(This little mermaid is ready to dip her fins in hah!)
One more thing I'm also doing, and bringing with me to aid in my diet is an app a friend, actually 2 friends recommended to me a few days ago. One lost 11 lbs (female) on it so far.. the other 17(male).
It's called My Fitness Pal. It records your age, weight, height, activity level daily, exercise you've done, water consumption, ect.. and has a data base basically of all kinds of foods you can think of; from home cooked, restaurant dishes, brand name foods, ect.. you name it... the data base also has an extensive exercise data base for both cardio workouts and strength training AND will calculate off of your profile you provide in the beginning with how long and how strong you do your workouts. Pretty bad ass and fool proof if you think about it. I've been calculated in at 1250 calories a day..(I have my goal weight at 150, and I'm 5'9" at 185 right now) if I wish to loose 2 lbs a week naturally. If I stick to this it's telling me by May 10th I believe I should have lost 10 lbs. So we shall see! I'll post again when I get to FL either Thursday night or Friday afternoon once we get settled in. I'll weigh in on Monday too... I just hope and pray I stay focused while on vacation.
So wrapping things up.. I feel like alot of good news and things are coming for me and my family -- I just need to keep this positive cap on my head :)
Happy Tuesday everyone!
(p.s. My 24th birthday is THIS Saturday ;) )
XOXO

I believe the automatic setting is 1250, but you can adjust it. So you know.
Keep it up! With as hard as you are working, the weight should be falling off. Take a long look at what you're eating.
For example, look for "hidden" foods that sneak in and are assumed to be PART of the meal.
Example: Are you having salad dressing? Order it without or on the side and DIP - not dunk - each bite. (A salad by itself is a GREAT meal, but when people drench it in salad dressing you can add 300-700 calories. Astounding!
Are you eating cereal? Rice? Fast food?
Next time you go shopping, pick up a sweet potato (or five) and start eating those *plain* for dinner with a salad. Sweet potatos are PACKED with nutrients and vitamins. They've got, like, 10,000% of your daily awesome.
Pop them in a bowl with a little water and honey in the bottom, cover with plastic wrap, and zap them in the microwave for two rounds of 7:00. Painless.
Best of luck. I'm here if you need me. <3
