Catch ya up!!

Okay, sorry I have been slacking on the blogging here lately! Truthfully, not much has changed! I hadn't been to the gym since Wednesday! Until tonight! Felt so amazing!! But I have been keeping up with my eating healthy! I had one cheat night on Superbowl Sunday and I couldn't even eat as much as I wanted to, which I will take as my stomach is shrinking and that is a very good thing! I think I have only dropped 1 pound though, which sucks, however, I have lost 2 inches around my waist & hips! I'll take it!! I can fit into size 12 jeans comfortably now, which is no where close to where I want to be, but closer than where I started! Myfitnesspal.com is seriously amazing! It is helping me so much with staying within my calorie goal! I also ordered a salad from a fast food restaurant last week, first time EVER! I seriously never thought I would ever do that! And it was super good!!I love being able to look up the nutrition facts online these days! Makes everything so much easier! I've been seing a lot of very inspirational blogs lately and according to them, I am on the right track! My pair of size 10 jeans from American Eagle shipped out today!! Again, not where I want to be, but getting closer!!  My friend Kristen is coming out tomorrow to visit for a few days, she will be going to the gym with me too! She went on a big "lose weight" kick after she had her baby and she looks fabulous! She'll definitely keep me motivated, although I haven't had any problems with that! Also, I ordered Zumba for the Kinect!! I cannot wait to try that! Haven't really had a chance to make any new recipes recently... just salads or baked chicken breast w/ a little rice and veggies! Soon though! 

Hurts So Good!!

I have been going to the gym every night this week, so far and I feel absolutely AMAZING!! Been keeping my calorie level at 1210 or lower a day, this is including the workouts. Still making sure I get my 8 glasses of water (or more) a day & healthy foods. My husband decided to get McDonald's for dinner tonight, so I looked up the nutrition facts to make sure I stayed with in my boundaries. I just can't believe how good it feels to take care of myself! I made a visual as well. To actually SEE my progress and how much I still have to go. I also got my free gym t shirt in a size medium for motivation, I WILL get to work out in it soon.

 Looks like a lot left in the to go jar huh? That's because there is!! I can't wait to watch it dwindle away!!
