I am going to try and drink water all day today.  I know my diet pepsi habit has been stalling my weightloss and I am willing to sacrifice in order to lose weight.  Plus I know water is so much better for my body.  I have been doing so well on my diet, but I don’t feel like I’m getting the results I should be.  I don’t think I am doing my best at exercising, either.  I need to sit down this weekend and actually schedule my workouts into my planner or I am not going to get them done.

Tomorrow is my oldest daughters birthday party, she turned 8 last week and I went shopping to get a new outfit for the party.  I haven’t bought myself any clothes in quite a while and had no idea what size I was.  I bought some size 13 capris and I wore them grocery shopping yesterday (had to make sure I would feel comfortable enough to skate in them) and they were falling down all day!  So I went back to the store and bought another pair size 11 and they fit pretty well, but my love handles were sticking out over them! Ugh!  But I bought them anyways, because my youngest daughters birthday party is the following Saturday and hopefully I will be slightly smaller by then.  I am still keeping the 13’s and just wearing a belt.

Have a great Friday!

Well, I just started a low carb diet on Sunday and am already having carb withdrawals!  Thats all I can think about!!  I swear I would kill for a slice of pizza right now.  I have been chewing gum and trying to stay busy and I haven’t given in yet, and I don’t plan on it either.  I am allowing myself one small Reese cup a day, as that will only add 4.5 extra carbs to my diet.  I am down 2 lbs already, so hopefully this will be worth it!

Exercise is going well, I got 125 minutes of cardio in today (I walk dogs all day) and I plan on getting another hour in this evening without any dilly dallying dogs. 

Well today I am starting over on my lifestyle change.  I got frusterated several weeks ago and deleted my buddyslim account and went completely off track.  I took care of some issues in my personal and home life and I am hoping to start over fresh. 

 I talked to my doctor about my difficulty in losing weight and she suggested I start watching my carb intake.  So I am doing somewhat of a moderated version of the Atkins Diet.  I did the full on Atkins Diet a few years ago and did really well with it, I just don’t feel like it is healthy to cut out fruits, veggies and whole grains all together.  So I am trying something new, so we’ll see how it works.

 My exercise goals for the week are to bike an hour a day and walk an hour a day, 5 days a week.  I also want to start a strength training program to do 3 days a week.

I am looking for some accountability buddies if anyone wants to team up and keep each other in check!!
