Week 1 results - 21 day fix

Results:

After one week you can notice a difference in my waist. I wont be measuring until day 21, but this makes me happy!

I'm down 6.2lbs. The first week always includes bloat and water weight, but it's still nice to see that decrease! This is a journey, it's going to take some time. Gotta keep movin'.

I am trying to find ways to fit in my work outs. I decided lunch hour was best since there's a gym at work. I started the week with going in and getting out as quick as possible. Yesterday I pushed myself and then did some weights. I can say I was proud of myself... I think that means so much. We should be proud of every step we take. The salad picture was the best meal this week and so simple. Taco salad!!!! Mmmmm

One of my favorite quotes from the week. The weight does not define us. It is a part of us, just like everything else. Our actions, our choices will define us. So make the right choices, right your wrongs, and be proud of who you are.

Results - Week 7

So today I'm dissapointed. I wasn't a saint over the weekend, but I certainly didn't pig out. I don't eat chocolate, I tried to stay on track while away. I did have some of the cake I made but I worked my butt off Monday through to today. I should be happy to see a 1lb loss but I feel like what I did warranted so much more, especially where in previous weeks I had such a bigger loss for doing so much less. Anyhow, accept and move on. I did photos and while you can see the difference in this, I also took one in a bikini and the difference with it is significant. Enough to calm me down. :)

Finally! BBQ season has arrived.

I spent the afternoon cleaning the bbq, while the kids made mud soup and actually found some pave to color with chalk!

I tried a new recipe: Greek Grilled Chicken

So Good! I roasted some veggies on the grill, made a few greek potatoes and paired it with a greek salad. Supper was DELISH!

I also had a really yummy lunch. No one else wanted to try it because of the Chickpeas but they are missing out!! :)

Mediterranean Chickpea Salad

I also made these yesterday. They were a HUGE hit. The best part I crammed in even more veggies than the recipe. I added shredded carrot and zucchini!

Meatloaf Muffins

Results Thursday - Week 6

I lost weight! I just didn't share. Time has not been on my side these last few weeks. But I have good reason. I got a fitbit so I've been busy walking, and excercising. :) We're trying to train the puppy to walk well on leash so that I can take him out this summer with the kids on bikes... what a feat that is!

So let's catch up. Oldest munchkin had a 10 day fever. When I say fever she was at 104 every 4-6 hours for a week. It was ridiculous, but it's over and she's fine now. Phewff.

March 29 was my birthday. I ate about half of my cake. :) It was good, I enjoyed it and I committed to that and I'm ok with it. I also still managed to lose!

Here's me and oldest munchkin with my cake!

Then of course it was Easter weekend this passed weekend. We visited with family so here are the kiddos ready to go...

As for catch up... Here are the results for week 6:

REWARD!

I almost forgot... I get my second reward. The only thing is... I don't think I want my second reward anymore. I'm considering getting a new fitbit. I had one but we no longer have a compatible computer, so I figured a new one would sync bluetooth with my phone. I'm looking at the options... maybe I'll do that. Kind of a big reward for 10lbs but won't it just help with the 45lbs I've got left?

Results Thursday - Week 5

I feel like every post begins with "what a week!"

This post is late because we were in the hospital with the oldest munchkin. She's been battling a fever for 8 days now and we keep being told it's just a viral infection. Being a parent is TOUGH. She's drinking acetametaphin and ibuprofen like it's water. What's harder is that she hates the stuff so we're at war every 4-6 hours. I'm really hoping she gets over this soon! It's so hard watching your little ones suffer!

I did weigh in yesterday. I had an awesome weightloss. I'm quite certain I was just retaining fluid last week. Here's a side by side Week 1 and Week 5:

Motivation Wednesday - Cause it didn't happen Tuesday.

I actually did do Motivation Tuesday but I forgot to share it here. :)

I changed the wallpaper on my phone. I was thinking where I could surround myself with motivation... You know how some people put pictures of the body you want on the fridge?

Like this:

But how do I explain to my kids that I need to take their pictures down so that Mommy can look at fit girls? Yeah... that won't work. So I decided to get a bunch of wallpapers for my phone. That way I can change it up. So off I went to pinterest and found quite a few.

Here's the link to my motivational phone wallpaper board on pinterest.

My current phone wallpaper is:

Now if that isn't motivation... I'm not sure what is! :)

Results Thursday - Thursday March 19, 2015

So I'm kind of dissapointed. I had 2 small pieces of cake on the weekend and I didn't quite eat on plan on the weekend but I've been committed since Monday. I would have expected to lose more. :( That said, another inch of my waist I'm not complaining. I start Jamie Eason's workouts tomorrow. So I know that number will go down next week! Maybe get my second reward???
