3 Weeks Down....

Wow! It's hard to believe that I have been on this journey for 3 weeks now!! I have NEVER written down everything I've eaten for this long! Quite a feat for me. :) I woke up this morning and I SO wanted to be under 210 when I weighed myself. Well, I am 209.6! Yippee!! It's the little things, you know?!

I have made a Word Document of a typical day for me with some tips on snacks, and fiber intake, etc. If anyone would like it I would be more than happy to make sure you get it. Now that I see it is working for me, I would like to encourage everyone to try it. :)

We have been taking the kids with us on our walk/runs. Syd rides her bike and Dustin walks with us. We have noticed a huge difference in Dustin since the first time. He was angry at us for making him go the first time, and therefore it was a very unpleasant experience. I guess we could have given in and not made him go with us again, but we realize the importance of exercise now and so he goes along. He has been doing a great job and he actually runs after Syd on her bike and when Sean and I start running our intervals, he runs alongside Sean. The two of them leave me in the dust! Drives me nuts, but I know someday soon I will be able to keep up.

Gotta run, we are having friends over for a cookout. I am eating a Boca Burger instead of a Bubba burger....will save me about 300 calories and 40 grams of fat. :)

Have a great weekend and happy calorie counting! :)
