Butt Bustin' Babes

Today is my first day on the new diet.  It went pretty well, I ate a lot of good food all without sugar and flour.  However I'm eating 6 oz of vegetables at lunch and dinner and I have to say for me that is a ton of vegatation!  I don't know if I can keep that up everyday.  Also after lunch and dinner even though I was pretty full I found that a part of me was still starving!  I recognize it's just the cravings and they aren't getting any food today!  However it is very strange to be feeling full but also hungry at the same time.  I intend to keep track of my weight to see how the new food affects it but I failed to weigh myself this morning, so weight tomorrow.  I've been pretty busy with figuring out food and with revamping my wardrobe.  Kiley got me into the dressing your truth energy profiling, it's fascinating and enlightening.  It is also helping me define my style so I'm doing a 30 day test starting tomorrow.  I'm only wearin...

Alrighty, we made through 4 weeks. I have to admit, this last week has not gone as well as the prior weeks. Being sick hasn't helped, but my dedication and resolve have wavered a bit. But I'm committed to the cause! Haha. I did a half day at work before I was sent home. I didn't have much of an appetite most of the day. But my wonderful husband got me lasagna and cheesecake from our favorite place (he admits my lasagna is "1000% better", but the ricotta cheese is pretty good. And they have yummy little rolls. So I guess I had my cheat meal. I did a couple of arm exercises at home, but I'm really tired. It's hard to be motivated when you can't move much. So I slept most of the evening. I just got up to get things ready for tomorrow to hopefully crush it! Now, weigh-in. Day 1-170.4 Day 8- 169 Day 15- 167.8 Day 22- 165.8 Day 29- 165.4 So I've officially lost 5 lbs since I started! Woohoo! But I only lost .4 this week. I'm not all surprised...

Since it's Sunday, not a lot of working out. Still pretty sick. Did a lot of meal prep and water! And took a good nap. xoxo

We are so close to 30 days! It's crazy. I'm still sick, but had to go into work for a few hours. It wasn't bad. I did grocery shopping for the week and now I've got to finish all the food prep. It''s a pretty big project for sure. But I'll get all the meals ready for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I did workout, which wasn't the smartest thing I've done. I ran a mile on the treadmill, did some leg weights, and did a 5 minute plank routine at home. But it drained me, so not a good idea. Hoping this coming week is much better all around. Xoxo

I've been sick. I stayed in bed all day and basically only read my scriptures. Steven and I are going to be eating well and exercising together. He is going to do everything I say for a month haha. So we had a giant cheat meal... and I feel guilty because I haven't eaten well this week. But hopefully with him on board, it will be easier to steer away from the bad stuff. xoxo

I have been trying a new thing this week and it has worked miracles. Usually my depression gets to me every other day or so; I can't seem to do well for a week straight. I am still not hitting all of my goals, but I am getting most of them; sometimes we forget a prayer or sometimes I don't stretch, etc.  I meal planned, including breakfast (Zach has had something besides cereal in the morning), which makes me less emotional and cranky not to mention the stress. I have also tried to give Aaron my undivided attention for 15 min every time he wakes up. This seems to make him much happier through the day when I am busy trying to get things done. I have felt a lot less stress this week and I am chalking up my success to one thing.  I have been listening to Jordan Peterson, he is a political voice on the conservative right, but he is also a practicing clinical psychiatrist. He explains that he can keep almost all of  his patients who struggle with anxiety and depression off ...

I did pretty good at the beginning of the day. Drank all my water, read my scriptures, ate healthy, etc. Then I got a milkshake. I now have pink eye and most likely strep throat again. Darn kids! So I am not working out and I'm not belt testing this weekend for my orange belt. Hoping to get better soon. Xoxo
