    *Name: Annybel
    *Feb. Starting weight: 161.6 lbs
    *Goal weight for Feb.: 155 lbs
    *Goals for Feb.:
    1. No Fast Food
    2. Try New, Healthier Foods
    3. Drink more water without Crystal Light flavor packets


    My New Years resolutions were to get on and stick to a diet and exercise plan and to cut fast food out of my diet. I was highly addicted to it the last year or so, and as a result I gained 40 lbs. Plus, I'm tired of being broke all the time because I spent all my money on junk food. As for the New, Healthier foods... well... I'm picky but I don't try new things. That's going to change this year. So far I've tried two new recipes that include foods I've never tried and I want to keep that up. These new foods are often half as many calories and twice as filling as my usual diet so I'm going to shoot for that to continue. Also, I was told that caffeine dehydrates you. Well, the only way I used to drink water is if it had the Crystal Light Strawberry flavor packet in it (which has 1/4 the caffeine as a soda). I want to get out of that habit and start drinking more plain water.

    I was able to do my regular workout yesterday and my husband offered to keep the kids so I could go to Zumba. I loved it as I always do and burned a ton of calories. I've had no candy so far and I'm still trying to figure out how to work in some scrapbooking.

    Got my exercise in but it was very rushed so we could get to basketball games. I made it through another day without candy and I've got very good intentions of getting some scrapbooking done on Saturday and if that doesn't work, then I'll have Sunday.

    2. Try New, Healthier Foods
    3. Drink more water without Crystal Light flavor packets
    So far I'm doing good at avoiding fast food. I purposefully cooked too much food yesterday so I could put some in the freezer for dinner at school (night classes), so I won't have to go to McDonald's for my break. I haven't made my water goal, but I'm not going to take a flavor pack with me to class to force myself to drink plain water. And last night's recipe featured 2 items I've never tired, and breakfast yesterday I made from scratch blueberry, chocolate, banana waffles (GreenLiteBites.com) which uses Almond milk - I didn't even know there was such a thing - and it tasted pretty great and was only 120 calories each waffle, so I could eat more but log less calories.

    Today I did log my foods, though I had a donut (darn my roommate for eating my oatmeal) I didn't have any Starbucks.

    However--- Jillian Michaels kicked my butt so bad with yesterday's routine I can bearly move today so; no exercise :( But I'm stretching!
