Bridgette @ The Not-So-Blog Blog recently started "Think Thin Thursdays" (Thanks Aubrey for helping me find it). I'll let you jump on over there to learn more about it.
Lucas and I decided we need to start eating healthier for several different reasons. I'll admit that the main reason for me is to lose weight... because what girl doesn't like to be skinny. I'm not going to kid myself about being supermodel skinny. As my mom says - "You're just curvy." Thanks, mom. You also told me it was 'just baby fat' through the seventh grade. Haha! Anyway, my body isn't made to be a stick. But I would be more happy if my tummy were just a little more flat.
So my goal is to lose 15 pounds in 8 weeks. This should get me bikini ready for our trip to Cabo San Lucas at the end of February! That is definitely a big motivating factor.
Monday night I cooked an incredible Weight Watchers' dish. If you're interested give it a try.
Tuesday night I cooked "Slowcooker Chicken and Dressing" from a diet recipe I found online. It was terrible! But it was healthy and we ate it. Needless to say, I won't be cooking that again.
Wednesday was Mexican... it's our one night out. I'll have to find a way to lose weight while keeping this in my diet for sure. It is a main stay.
So we're staying on course thus far. I took Rafa on a 40 minute run this morning. He did great for such a small little doggy! Then I came back and did 10 more minute on the elliptical machine and an upper body workout with my exercise ball and weights.
From now until our trip, I'll be using Thursday to update you about our progress, share any good recipes I've found, and keep myself accountable. Yes, thank you blog readers for keeping me accountable. I'm counting on you!
