Arrrggghhhhh!!!

So, I've eaten salad every single day and I gain a pound???? What?? Really?? I mean come on. I even jogged 2 days last week and I gain? So, I'm frustrated. I went and bought Alli and am trying it out. I don't know, there is something about uncontrollable loose stools that really makes me check the fat grams I'm eating at my meals. I need a kickstart and hopefully this is it. I just need something, you know? I'm sick of it. I need motivation. Next week is bound to be better.

Oh no he didn't!!!!

So, my loving husband comes home this morning from working the night shift with a 12 delicious doughnuts. He knows I'm trying to lose weight and that I am doing really well. So, why does he do this? Does this make sense? He tells me, "I got this kind just for you" Do you know what I said? I don't want any. TRUE STORY!!!!! And I didn't have any. So YAY for me. Truth is they didn't look all that great and I didn't want one. That being said..... if it had been a box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts they might not have been so easy to turn down.

Week 1 Results

Per my weigh-in today, I lost .5 lbs. But I feel like it's more. I think next week will be my true results. I started my period this week and feel like it might have effected my results. I feel really good about this week and have found myself making better choices. I'm going to keep the same routine this week and see how it goes.

A Little Background

Hey all, my name is Carie, and like most women I am trying to lose weight. I was trying to find motivation for this endeavor and then I had a light bulb moment. Currently I have DD's. Not cool, when you are 4' 10" (for real people, no joke). My current weight is 155 and I'm trying to lose at least 20lbs. So losing boobage is a real motivation for me, and it really made want to lose.

I'm trying a couple of things this week to see if they will make a difference. I'm using Weight Watchers online so I can keep track of my points. I'm trying to incorporate some form of activity everyday. Nothing backbreaking yet (I'm sure I'll add on in future weeks) just a walk around the neighborhood with the kids (oh yeah, I have 3 of those). Everyday for lunch I'm eating a salad dressed with olive oil and vinegar and a low point soup, then for snacks I'm eating fruits and string cheese. Then, I eat a healthy dinner.

I have to admit I'm only on day 5 and I am already sick of eating salads. I think that may be because I am usually pretty hungry come lunch time and a salad doesn't sound all that satisfying. After I eat it and the soup I do feel full and am grateful for staying on track. I am anxiously awaiting weighing in on Sunday to see if all of my sacrificing has paid off.

My husband supports my weight loss but can't stand behind the B cup. He is calling it Operation full C cup, but it doesn't have the same ring. I tell you what, losing weight was way easier before I had kids. It's hard to fit in a workout when my kids are 5, 2, and 1, hence the walking. So, I'll keep this site updated and see how things go.
