Week one.... BOOYAH!!!

So this past week I quit eating bread and it actually wasn't that bad. I was sad when I wanted to have a tuna sandwich and realized I couldn't have the sandwich part.. I improvised and made a wrap. It was almost as good!
But this week was a super SUCCESS!!! Totals in......

Total Weight Loss:      9.1 pouds!
Total Cardio Time:      122 minutes (Way better than I have EVER done, by the way)

I am so happy!!! I know this past week a lot of the weight lost was most likely water retention, but I am still happy as I don't ever want to see those pounds again!

NEW GOAL FOR THE WEEK:  No white grains.

This just means no white flour or white rice. If am going to make a wrap, it needs to be on whole wheat, if I cook rice, it has to be brown.

This coming week is going to be hard as I will be in California on vacation for most of the week. So will  have to try really hard especially since I won't have the work out time I need. Granted one day will be spent at Disneyland w/ a toddler, so I will get my cardio FOR SURE this day. But other than that, I am going to have to really work hard.

Thanks everyone for all of your uplifting comments last week! I am grateful for the support & I know because of it, it will make this be more successful.

Thanks again & stay tuned next week!

No More Bread, WHAT?!?

Well I have decided to make my weight loss public. I am not proud to be overweight at all, and actually would prefer the world didn't know I was!! But I have had the thought come to me quite often to create a blog about it because this way I am not only having to prove to my self that I can do it, but also I don't want anyone else out there to know I am a failure. So here it goes.....

Week ONE- No bread

This is a hard one for me. I love BREAD any kind just about. But I know that if I just kick this out, I will lose weight faster. I learned this before when I lost about 40 pounds before my wedding 4+ years ago. So I know how to lose weight...I just don't like to. The yeast in bread causes a lot of bloating, so just kicking this will help slim my stomach in just weeks! 

Please join in on this challenge with me & let  me know how you are doing!!! Each week I will add a new challenge so hopefully by the end of the 25 weeks I will have changed my complete diet to something so much healthier and I will feel great! 

Stay tuned weekly and I will post my weight loss and how I did. 

Thanks for your support!
