Week 2

Week 2 was def a little harder than week 1 I think.

It was harder getting out of bed each morning to exercise - I think I only made it to the gym twice in the morning, but I did walk Tuesday evening around the neighborhood and I mowed the lawn last night - so that counts for something, right??

I am down another pound.  I'm doing better at turning down sweet treats!  I have schwan's tc fudge bars tucked into the freezer that are only 50 calories and it's perfect when I want some chocolate! 

We went to chili's last night for dinner with Adam's parents - It was hard trying to find something healthy to eat besides a plain ol' salad.  So I ordered an Oldtimer - had them put it on a wheat bun and asked for a side salad instead of fries.   They still brought me fries, but I immediately put them in with Parker's fries so they would be off my plate.  I did eat three though!  I just wanted a taste! 
I also took the croutons off my salad and I ordered a vinaigrette salad dressing. 
I dipped my fork in the dressing and then put lettuce on my fork.  That way I ate less dressing and it wasn't swimming in it.  Oh how I love a salad swimming in Ranch Dressing!
I also drank about 4 glasses of water - the waiter said that I must have been thirsty - I guess I was since I hadn't really drank anything after I mowed grass for 45 min.

It's all about making healthier options.  It's hard - but the results will hopefully be worth it.

I put all of my food and exercise into myfitnesspal.com every day.  I used to use sparkpeople.com, but the app on Adam's phone is a lot better with myfitnesspal, so I switched.  It makes it easy to know how many calories, fat, carbs, etc I have left and an easy way to look back and see what I've done.

Hopefully week three will be successful as well...
