First day went FABULOUS!

Since I'm back on this thing, I spent last night laying out my meals/snacks for today. This was a super idea because I made healthy choices and didn't grab random things and run out the door.

Today turned out to be fairly ordinary.. work.. gym.. home. boring.

Anyways, the eats for today:

Breakfast: Oats with a serving of pure pumpkin (my first time trying them... kinda bland.. I need some suggestions on how to make them tastier): 2 points

that held me over until lunch.. YAY!

Lunch: turkey chili with some shredded cheddar: 7

Pre-gym snack: apple: 1

Dinner: Taco Salad (lettuce, tomatoes, 1 serving of black beans, a dollop of sour cream, and a teeny tiny spoonful of 93/7 chopped meat): 8

Total Points Used: 18/21 (allowed)

At the gym I did 30 mins on the elliptical and some abs. According to my heart rate monitor, I burned 287 calories! wohoooooo!

Thank all of you for your supportive comments from yesterday!

after taking a month long hiatus..

I am pleased to announce that starting tomorrow, I am back on point.

Over the weekend my sister told me that I look preggo.. and unfortunately, I am not. This has left me very upset and angry, so I have channeled that energy into hitting up the gym the last 2 nights. Since I had to go food shopping (went tonight!) I will be starting to eat 'cleaner' tomorrow.

It is bad enough that my own blood could say that, and embarrass me in front of others by pointing it out, but she was right. After hearing it, or admitting to myself that I let myself go, naturally I have been pretty upset and found myself crying today over it. How could someone say that? How could she pat my belly and laugh hysterically? How could she point it out to a family friend? I'm hurt, yet mad. Get me?

I'm back on track tomorrow. I love reading all of your blogs, and each of you are so inspirational, so I will be here cheering all of you on, and hopefully pick up some tips along the way. :-)

Thanks for listening to me...

This is gonna be rough, but I'm ready! FINALLY!!
