Week 2 weight loss
Not much weight loss this week, but I can see a difference from doing Zumba! I have gone to Zumba Monday and Tuesday this week, and plan to go again tomorrow. Sunday we went for a walk as a family, which made it a pretty short walk with 2 wild kiddos!! I have been staying under my calorie goal most days, so hopefully I will be seeing a difference in my weight loss goals soon!!

Weight loss -1
Current weight 225
1lb closer to my 1st goal of 199!!

Weight Loss journey
Week 1 is in the books and went pretty well! I did great with tracking my eating, and I managed to lose 4lbs! YAY! This week I am started doing Zumba a couple days a week, and I am going to try to walk on the days I don't do Zumba. I am still HUNGRY most of the time, but I am not starving, haha! My stomach is just slowly adjusting to the change in my eating habits. I am still eating the foods I like, just in smaller portions. The myfitnesspal app is really helping me track what I eat and how much I exercise. This week I am trying to increase my water intake as well.
Beginning weight 230
Lost this week -4
Current weight 226
1st Goal is 199, I am getting there!!!

The dreaded "D" word.....
...DIET....such a four letter word!
So since I am determined to make the weight loss happen this time and not to get discouraged I thought blogging about it might help. I officially started yesterday when I went back to work. I downloaded the MyFitnessPal app on my iPhone, and I am using it to track my progress. According to it my goal calories for each day is a little less than 1500 calories. The past 2 days I have been under my goal, but dang have I been HUNGRY!! I can't help it, I LOVE FOOD!! And not just any food, the fattening bad for you kind. I love sweets and carbs and bread! I do eat some veggies, but I am pretty picky about them. I am trying to make more of an effort to control my portions and eat more fruits and veggies.
I also need to get off my behind and get MOVING doing some sort of exercise. The thing with me and exercise is I love the thought of it, but never really carry through! I started Couch to 5k and quit after a week because it hurt my ankles too much. I join a gym and go consistently for a few months and then quit going even though I signed a year contract. I recently saw they were going to be offering Zumba classes locally, and you pay monthly so no contract! I am thinking that may be something I can stick with. I REALLLLLLY wish I enjoyed running more than I do because it sounds so relaxing when people take about it, but even back in my high school days when I played softball and basketball I HATED running any distance other than around the bases or up and down the court!
I am going to try to blog weekly or biweekly with my progress and hopefully that will keep me accountable. Here is my before picture (from Sept. 2012 but I look the same). Hopefully the after picture will be a much smaller me!!
