Energy 2 & 1/2 Weeks In

I am 2 and 1/2 weeks into changing my life. My body has not felt this healthy in a very long time, if ever.
My energy is getting better every day and I am finding that sitting around is not working anymore as I have the urge to get up and do something, anything! So I'm exercising daily, cleaning daily (which my parent's must be happy about) and organizing. Cleaned my room out the other day and am thinking about tackling the spare bedroom this weekend. Plus when the weather quits being so stormy for a few days I'm hoping to get outside and work in the yard.

I weigh myself once a day or so, even though some people tell me I shouldn't. It helps to keep me motivated because I want to see the numbers drop. I'm really hoping to drop at least two more pounds in the next week and a half so I can say I have lost 10 pounds in a month. But if I don't that's okay too.

I tried the whole wheat bread. I like it. I knew I would. It has a different taste than white (duh) but I like it. I'm looking forward to putting the chicken or turkey slices I bought on it. I made the mistake of not buying enough protein bars the other day to make it through the week, so I'm bummed to not have one for breakfast in the morning. Cheerios and skim milk will be breakfast I suppose. I had a delicious dinner tonight thanks to my Mom. Skinless grilled lemon-pepper chicken breast, steamed broccoli and carrots, and mashed potatoes & gravy. I only ate around 3 tablespoons of the mashed potatoes though. I LOVE the chicken. Mom is the best at cooking that!

Yesterday my cravings were awful. I wanted something chocolate SO bad. I didn't cave though. I ate a handful of Nilla wafers and that helped. Plus I'm stubborn and want to lose weight very bad so that helped keep me from raiding the stash of snack cakes we keep for my Dad's lunch.

And my awesome sister did cardio with me yesterday. I have a Wii and Just Dance 2 so she and I had some fun and embarrassed ourselves trying to dance. We may not have been very graceful but I know it got my heart rate up! Plus it was a blast!

Soon I'm planning on adding some more pages to this blog including recipes I find that are healthier. Any suggestions on other pages I could add?
