day 3 still

Lunch was good!  Mixed greens with  shredded part skim mozzerella cheese, grilled chicken, and balsamic vinagrette. Snack time is about now so I think some cheese is in order! One last thing to eat before our evening workout around 6 :)

Day 2 & 3

Well, yesterday just flew by, but it was a good day! I am sruggling with my sugar cravings and not having any coffee, so I caved today and had some coffee! I feel soo much more energized! One cup and goodness am I glad that I had it! South Beach Diet says that you can have decaf coffee, but I think the caffine was needed. :) The sugar cravings will probably get better with time, but it sucks! I knew this would be my biggest issue, but with my husband and God's help, I will do this! Today, Wednesday, my husband and I decided to sleep in this morning instead of working out, but we plan to workout tonight after work. Soo glad to have gotten that little extra sleep this morning! Even though there was no work out this morning, and I drank some caffinated coffee, I had an amazing breakfast! Two eggs, zuccinni, a little bit of fat free shredded cheddar cheese, and two slices of canadian bacon!! Yummy! And Now it is snack time! I think I will be go and enjoy some mixed nuts! Updates to come!

From the Beginning- Day 1

Today marks the first day that my husband and I are starting a new lifestyle change. We are doing South Beach diet, paired with, Power 90. We are both 23-years-old and completely out of shape. I used to be 120 pounds(oh how I miss those days!) when I met my husband in our junior year of highschool and now (after 4 years of dating and almost 3 years of marriage) I am 204.8. I am ashamed to say that I have gained all of this weight by completely letting go and giving into ever food desire I had. My current weight is the heaviest I have ever been, which is not an accomplishment, and I am determined to never have this weight or higher on my scale ever again! I look forward to the day when I can proudly say that I am in shape and healthier than I have ever been before! This journey into a renewed me is going to a rollercoaster, I am sure, but every ride has an end and I am determined for mine to be an amazing one!!

Today, my alarm went off at 6:15 am and after hitting snooze till 6:30 am, I got up feeling energized and ready to go! We popped the Power 90 dvd into our xbox and got the show on the road. I was able to do everything, but a part that is called 7-7-7 push ups. 7 wide push ups, 7 close push ups, and 7 normal push ups... oh boy! I got 4 into the first set and I wiped out! I am acutally glad that it was hard for me because it gives me something to strive for and push to accomplish. All in all, a good first days workout. After that, I had to get ready for work(which doesn't even feel like work since I am blessed to do what I love as a job, which is being a nanny). Breakfast was yummy! Eggs with zuccinni and onions mixed in, YUM! Snack time was about 11 am and I had a part skim mozzerella cheese stick. Around 1:30pm, It was lunch time. I had a yummy mixed greens salad with sliced mushrooms,onions, and a little fat free shredded cheddar cheese, then topped with a balsamic vinagrette!!! Soo good! The sweet tooth is starting to set in now but my sugar free hard candy(allowed in south beach diet-phase one) is hitting the spot! Crossing my fingers that the rest of today goes just as smoothly! Updates to come!
