Valentines Day on a Diet

Well, I made it. And it was still nice! Of course I can credit much of the success with my husband and him having a plan. Besides the wonderful card and present (yes it was something orange) he made reservations at Zea Rotisserrie Grill. I was able to order a delicious grilled trout and steamed broccoli and I was just fine! I did miss my wine- but I stuck with my no cocktail for 6 months pledge (which stinks, but it is what it is).

The most important thing I had to do was stick to my pledge to myself, and not let my emotional connection to a festive occassion always including food and drinks. I know I will get back there again in moderation, but not right now. Cant wait to show off my new figure this summer!!!

Lots of Love to my husband Mike for all his support. http://www.facebook.com/cynthia.collins1

The good the bad and the ugly

The good- 10 pounds baby! The Bad- not a thing- so far I have been a rock star! The ugly- my attitude when I go to a sit down business lunch and they serve fried chicken cutlet with gravy, mashed potatoes, and green beans, SWEET tea only, and custard parfait. Are they kidding me? I ate three bites of salad around the dressing, 10 grean beans and drank the water for lunch. It may have looked stupid me pushing around my food but I did it! I wish options were more prevalent in restaurants and at events.

My almost three weeks update

I am seriously proud of myself. As of this morning I am one day away from three weeks and have stuck to my diet perfectly. I am only .5 away from the 10 pound mark. Woo Hoo! It gets easier by the day for the most part and I am supper motivated. Time to start exercising. Going to start with 10 minutes of free weights and walking. Can't wait to get into my old clothes ( lets see, I have a closer full of the last 4 sizes- I can shop in my own closet!) told my husband I want to celebrate when I hit my goal laying on a beach- and I won't be ashamed to put on my swimsuit! Anyone who knows me, knows I am a beach bum at heart. Can't believe I haven't been to beach to just lay out for a couple years ( been there but didn't stay out ob beach, too embarrassed in my skin)six months, can't wait!
