June 3rd

So it is day two. I didn't work out last night :( The rain got in my way and therefore I used that as an excuse not to do anything. I did eat pretty well last night. Well, minus eating some Ben and Jerry's frozen yougart ice cream! Yummy!

One thing Nolen and I did do last night was take our measurements. This way, I wont get upset if I don't see the number on the scale going down as much as I want if I am able to see myself losing inches elsewhere. I'm not saying I want to be this rail thin person, I think Nolen would flip if I lost too much weight and my boobs started to shrink. (Gotta keep the hubby happy.) I just want to feel good in a swimsuit and in my daily clothes.

So, here are some actual goals.

1. Have at least 4 servings of fruits/ veggies a day.
2. Work out regurally. 4 times a week is the goal.
3. Look HOT in my swimsuit in August! (Reward for meeting this goal is a new suit!)
4. Give myself an overall healthier lifestyle so I can pass it along to others.

Problem areas: I know right off the back my biggest problem will be the weekends. Nolen and I are usually pretty good during the week, but come Friday I like my beer/wine and good food. I just need to learn to control my protions a bit more with my food intake on the weekends. I am not going to deprive myself of the things I love because then I will never succeed, but if I can just make the healtier choices here in there, then that should help in the long run.

Random note, the scale says I have lost close to 5 pounds this week. I say most of this is actually water weight. I have really uped my water intake because I know how much that helps in the overall process. So while it is nice to see that number dropping, I know its not due to my working out yet.
