You like my style?

ooh and ps I have lost like 10 lbs since my weightloss post!

I Really Mean it!

My journal and calorie tracker!

For the last 2-3 weeks or so I have been trying to loose weight and be healthier.  SO with my friends Kim and Julie we pretty much made a pack to be better.  We even created journals were we can record our progress.  I feel like I could probably do better with my eating.  I have been tracking everything in a calorie counter on my phone and trying to make better choices but it is hard when I never really had much control over or cared what I ate.  Now it has caught up with me!  I remembering posting last year or so about being the heaviest I am well now that’s not true I am NOW. 

Kristin's Bridesmaid dress.... Pretty cute
really!

Anyway, with Kristin getting married next spring I’m determined to look good in that bridesmaid dress and a bikini all week!!!!  SO it starts now!! Or trying at least.  I really haven’t lost any weight but I cant get discouraged.  I’m trying to limit myself to 1680 calories when my normal intake was probably was more like 2800-3300 in a day… If I’m under 2000 I feel good about myself. 

This past weekend my friend Katie came to Denver which involved about of ETOH and eating out which totally blew my 2000 restriction with 2 days being greater them 3500 calories and all….I know I cant stress about it because once I’m back at work I will be more structured!  Plus no exercise really… (We did go for a hike yesterday ) Then! I go to Boston in a week and half!  Boston Cream Pie----maybe this time I’ll just get a slice not the whole pie  :P. 

Embarrassed to post this pic!  Took yesterday
on our hike... I am going to get rid of that
belly button hole!

With eating less (I don’t necessary want to say better at this point) I have been trying to exercise at lease 4 day a week.  Really trying to focus on running.. I would love to be able to run a 5K at some point.  I have never really been much a runner so it is difficult.  SO I found this plan that gradually increases you up to running without stopping.  I was doing well until I hurt my right foot arch… UGH not I might have to start off or just DO IT!! And Stop being a baby J 

Well I plan on trying to be like 180 lbs which is like 50lbs to loose so well see how close I get!  AT least by December when I buy that dress J

SO this time I mean it! IT does help that I have good friends who are trying to loose weight too!!

Wish me Luck!
