I will normally weigh in at school (we are doing the biggest loser) but, we had a snow day Friday...so today I weighed in..  I have over 30 to be back to pre-baby weight according to the scales, but only by 4 pounds.  I can handle being four pounds over.

I had no exercise today.
I usually eat Sunday lunch or supper with my parents.  I was glad that I did as well as I did.  I do not feel that I can tell others what to cook for me.  Plus Mom and Dad are on a heart diet so I know that most of thier foods are made with low fat butters, dressings, meats, etc. I do know that sweets are my downfall!  I should have had 1 cookie...

Exercise:
We went sledding at the Rainbow Christian Camp. I have been up and down a hill many times...and managed to split my snow suit pants!!:) This is the same suit I've had since I was a teen...so I feel pretty good that it fit well. I guess its time for a new snow suit if the winters are all this fun!! I also got to see some friends I hadn't seen in quit a while at the hill and that was great fun as well!!

All in all I think today went well.  I am thinking about nixing the nightly ice cream.  It can't be good for my diet.  I rationalize it as calcium...but it is full of calories and sugar.:(   So, tomorrow no ice cream it is.  Other than that I am glad that we are snacking on veggies at midday, and that my meals are contolled in portion sizes. 

Recap on supper

Okay I forgot to tell you that we ate off of a veggie tray all afternoon.  I have munched on carrots, brocolli, and califlower with ranch dip.  So, needless to say, I was not hungary for supper.  So, I skipped all of the sloppy Joe, peas, and peaches.  Sean and I had the ice cream as a night-night snack. 

Day one of 30 pounds in 3 months

I am a 34 years old. I have bobbled up and down 30 pounds since having my two children. I see them starting to follow in my foot steps as far as food choices and exercise habits...so I want to set a good example. This Blog is a part of this new "good example." I have also had high Blood Pressure readings for several months and I want to take of that. I had a friend tell me about a relative that blogs about her weightloss. I guess she had tried to get onthe Biggest Loser show often, but never made it. So, she blogged her weight loss. This is how this idea was born. Plus, I have trouble spending money on weight loss programs just to give myself some accountability. So, you are now my accountability group! I want to lose 30 pounds in 3 months. I plan on eating low fat, and not being legalistic about it. I was watching Dr. Oz and he pointed out to a mother and daughter that eating too little is as detrimental to weight loss as eating too much. So, that is why I say I will not be too legalistic. I also plan on watchign my portion sizes. Again, part of the not being too legalistic. If I want to eat something I will first decide if the fat content is worth it, and then eat just a little of that said item. I will be recording what I eat on this blog site to help me keep track of what I have eaten and to have some accoutability as I make choices of foods.
After hitting age 30 I am well aware that my body has to have some exercise to rev up the ole' metabolism. So, I will go back to my counch potato to 5K runs, and I am taking a yogalates class the the Marion Community School of the Arts.
Foods eaten today:
2 peices of peanut butter and jelly toast
2 cups of black coffee
Cherry Coke (Splurge!!)
spagetti squash with homemade sauce (diced tomatos, ketchup, spices, and Splenda)
Fiber One bar
diet pepsi
Sloppy Joe on a bun
peaches
peas
Crystal Light
2 scoops ice cream

IF I consume more than this as I am posting this with what I PLAN to have for supper...then I will add a post.  I will not share my weight and sizes that I am as I start, but I will put the amounts of each I lose.  Plus the exercise I do for a given day.
