Day 1 of 173

Today went off w/o a hitch!  It was an amazing morning; I was (and still am) extremely proud of myself.  Every time (in the past) I said I would meet a friend at the gym in the wee hours of the morning, I would set my alarm but when it went off in the morning, I would turn it off and go back to bed.  Not THIS morning!!  I had my alarm set for 0730 and got out of bed shortly after it went off.  I was at the gym by 0830 and my (beginning) goal was to do 20 minutes on the elliptical but once there and going, I did 30 minutes!!  :)

According to the machine, I burned 240 calories.  Within the next couple of weeks, though, I will be shooting for 500 calories.  Burn 500 by working out and cut out 500 calories/day and I will be well on my weigh (hahaha) to losing TWO lbs a week!!  That is my goal!  My ultimate goal is to be down to pre-baby weight by 29July.  That, my friends, is a loss of 66 lbs!

After the gym, Ethan and I stopped at Crest to get a few things that Sams didn't have last night.  We came home, ate brekky/lunch, then we both took a nap.  It kinda threw my whole day off b/c we didn't wake up til about 5:00 PM!!  I couldn't believe it!!  Ethan was gonna get a hair cut today b/c he goes back to daycare tomorrow but that didn't happen.  Will probably take him tomorrow after I pick him up; he needs it BAD!!

Working on a format for my blogs...  I wanna put down my lil goals for the day and whether I accomplished them or not but I haven't figured it out quite yet.  More to come...

  3. Its called the 17 day diet. They featured it on "The Doctors" a while back. There is 4 cycles which are 17 days each. The first cycle you basically eat a lot of protein (chicken & fish) along with vegetables. Each cycle you get to add in more food choices. Not easy when your not a vegetable eater. :-)
