Tuesday

Tonight a group of friends and I went out to eat at the Olive Garden to celebrate the upcoming birth of Ms. Addisyn. I have been absolutely dreading it... well, I mean I want to spend time with them WITH critters running around everywhere, but I am just gaining momentum on eating well. And who are we kidding... I flipping LOVE the chicken Alfredo there. I did a lot of research into what I could eat, and with the exception of one ravioli (which I spent the last 5 minutes mathematically figuring out was 2 points) I DID SO GOOD! I am so so so proud!!! This is a big step for me.

Breakfast: Peanut butter, banana, and honey sandwich (8)
Lunch: Bagel thin with cheese put under the broiler (surprisingly yummy) (5)
Dinner: Pasta Fagoli Soup (4 for 2 bowls) Breadsticks (10) 1 ravioli (2)
Total: 29 points!

Exercise: none, I should have made time but I didn't. No excuse.

Measurements and before photos

So, my hubby and I couldn't find our cloth measuring tape, so we had to settle for a piece of ribbon and our hard measuring tape... you know those metal kind.... I can't think of the right word. So, they are only kinda accurate.
Left Arm: 12 inches
Right Arm: 12 in.
Left Thigh: 21.75 in
Right Thigh: 22.5 in
Waist: 36 in
Hips: 39.75

... and now for the pictures that I CANNOT believe that I am throwing out into the world wide web. Hopefully I can laugh at my love handles in a few months.

I am totally awkward.

Power of One... A new ME

Hello out there!
I usually don't make resolutions because well, I pretty much never keep them. But this year I want to get healthy. General, I know.... but seriously I want to be a good role model for my kiddos and I want to outshine my super hot husband.
SOOOOO.... I came across this online community when I was googling ways to help me on this little journey called the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans (PS - Still love the Traveling Pants movie.... awesome.). The first challenge this year, which I am a few days late for is called the Power of One.

So the first items of business are my healthy living goals (read: resolutions... but not)
1: lose 15 pounds. I know, so un-original... but it would put me back at the weight I was when I got married and seriously, we all want to be that weight again.
2. Log at least 150 minutes of exercise a week. Zumba, jogging
3. Run a 5K while keeping up with my husband the whole way.
4. Cut back on the Diet Pepsi - please note that I didn't say quit.

Starting weight: 153

Measurements and pictures will be posted tomorrow.... You know you wouldn't want to miss that (insert: sarcasm)
