I know this week I want to focus on my diet.. really stick with clean whole foods.. may be hard as I need to go grocery shopping, but I can try my best for sure.

This! I am right there with you. I have not been doing a great job eating good foods. I do ok staying within my calories, but I've found myself just starving lately...and that's because 1500 calories of junk is not nearly as filling as 1500 calories of good food...so I'm hitting the grocery store on my way home tonight and I'm going to get some stuff to cook for dinner for the rest of the week.

We CAN do this! Happy Week 2!!

This week I am focusing on making a special space for me. I had to give up my gym membership because of doing my own business now finances are tighter. At first I was upset about this but now I am building a gym space in my house pulling out all my old workout equipment that i used years ago. I am making this a very personal space. I got some of my favorite photos blown up for the walls and I plan on putting all the clothes that are too small for me in the closet in that room.

Bath oils and lotions are all being gathered and place on a self for easy access. I am committed to pampering myself at least once a week. I also am downloading a ton of new songs for my ipod to workout with.

It is getting back to basics for me. My gym was wonderful and high end. I will miss it. Especially the steam room. But something about going back to the way I use to workout when I was 18 is very Raw and Real to me. It is making me think about the girl I use to be and it is making me feel empowered again. My brother use to be a golden glove boxer so we had a speed bag in our basement while I was growing up . Him and his friends use to train down there all the time. I never learned how to hit one I think it is time I did. I am now looking for one on Craigslist. It is one of the things I would never try at a gym I would be too embarrassed but I can do it at home

Weigh in today....lost another 1.5 pounds. Total for thsi week 2 lbs. Hooary

Pleasantly surprised at my weigh in today. I was down a little over a pound for a total of 2.5 lbs since the challenge started. I had my 2 year old grandson for 9 days so exercise suffered a little bit but I must have burnt off calories playing with him.My husband wants to take me out for dinner tonight because he knows how hard I have worked babysitting, then Easter. I will hit it hard again Monday. I really want to lose 2 more lbs by April 19th because we will be leaving on vacation.
