Day one

  

oooooh....LOTS of pictures today! No, not because I ate a lot, but because it's the first of the month, sillies! Ok, so here's how this is all going to run down (in case you don't remember from the last post). I'm going to post pictures of what I eat everyday, and also on the first of the month I will post pictures of the scale and also two views of yours truly! One frontal, one profile....hopefully we'll see some shrinkage as the months go by!

I also decided on a random rule today: If I don't have my camera on me and I want to eat something...I can't eat it, because I can't take a picture of it! I almsot freaked out at dinner at work because I couldn't find my camera after I decided on that rule o_O

So let the pictures begin!



Starting weight...



view from the front...see what I meant about the sausage thing?! No worries, that's all gonna change :D

the lovely side view....

pre workout snack. I don't usually eat before I work out, since it's so early in the morning when I go...but I hear that's not such a good idea, so I'm gonna try and eat something before I workout.

Mmmmm, breakfast! We found at Costco they have Jamba Juice smoothie packets...(EPIC WIN!) this is Strawberries Wild....spiked with some protein powder...which changed the flavor a little bit...but it wasn't too weird of a change to make me not eat it again...be prepared to see lots of these shakes in the future. I LOVE me some Jamba!

Morning snack...20 almonds (plus lots o' water)

Lunch. I cooked a chicken breast and then made it into a quesadilla (with salsa on top:D) and then I just ate the rest of the chicken that didn't fit on the tortilla

Afternoon snack...pretty self explanitory...

Dinner. Another chicken breast on some lettuce with grated carrots and cherry tomatoes. Kind of boring, but I was kind of in a hurry to throw something together before I went to work...

Ok, also what I'm going to post on here each month (and every 3 months) are my short-term goals. So...I'm over 200 *barf* but, it's ok...that's all gonna change. The reason I'm making my goals only 3 months in advanced is because it makes them smaller and more manageable (I think I spelled that right). SO! 3 month goal...be under 200. I don't care if the scale reads 199.9 on October 1, I just want it to start with a 1, dangit!
So there's the 3 month plan. And to break that down even further....I'm making my monthly weight loss goal to be between 8 and 9 pounds. I also have workout goals for the month: I want to workout 6 days a week, working up to doing weight-lifting 3 times a week and cardio every day! So that's that! Enjoy all!

OH! One other thing I plan to post on here every day is tell ya'll what I did for my daily workout! So today I did a weight lifting circut and then rode my bike with my sister for 2.5 miles...and my bum kind of hurts, not gonna lie. It's been a while since I've been on a bike for any length of time.

Happy weight journeys to all!
