I promise to...

An amazing friend of mine -that I truly consider family- is also trying to lose weight & get healthy. So we decided to do this together. Although we live in two different states, we are going to be each other's support system! Yesterday, I hatched a plan that we should promise each other something every day that we don't really want to do, but will because we promised Some people may think that's crazy - but I don't break promises and I know she doesn't either. 


Day 1 - I promised to do 25 sit ups before bed. -check-
Day 2 - I promised to drink 6 glasses of water. -still working on it! I'm halfway there.-


In other news, I started Weight Watcher's today. It's not bad at all! I can have whatever I want, but I can only have so many points a day. If anyone is interested in the points system, let me know. I found some really neat tools online that can help if you can't really afford it right now. 


Breakfast
Dannon Light & Fit Yogurt - 2 points


Lunch
Subway 6 inch Meatball Marinara (they are only $2 bucks in December!) - 12 points -yikes!-


I did 30 sit ups and 20 girly push ups before work. Not a lot, I know - but I have to start somewhere. 


Love ya'll!

Christmas is here...

I didn't make my goal of 50 pounds by Christmas - but I'm okay with that. It was quite a lofty goal to begin with. However, I have made progress & that counts for something!

I decided to stop the Medi Weight Loss program - it just wasn't for me. It made me feel very weak, very sick, and I just could not function on 500 calories.

Now I'm just watching what I eat, doing light work outs at home, and going to the gym a few times a week. I'm not losing 12.5 pounds a week, but I'm still losing!

When I reach my goal weight Tyler and I will be taking a trip to New York! That in it self is enough to motivate me.

I'm going to attempt to post weekly meal plans & recipes as often as I can. I want to reach as many people as I can and find people to lose weight with me! Like an online buddy system!

Love ya'll!
