Not eating enough?

I bought a really neat better homes and garden cook book. It tells you how much fat is in each dish you prepare. So I was reading at the front of the book. It tells you how to figure out your daily calories. So I did it to figure it out. I count fat but was curious. So it said I should have 3,000 calories a day to maintain my current weight. If I want to lose one pound a week I need to consume 500 less calories a day. If I want to lose 2 lbs a week I need to consume 1000 calories less a day. So I took the food I ate that day and figured up I had only had 1300 calories. about 1000 less than I should have! Lately I have not been losing like I think I should. I have been stuck going back and forth between 3 lbs. And, it has taken me 11months to lose 32lbs. I dont think thats right cause I work my ass off! So could it be? Im not eating enough? That boggles my mind cause I thought I was eating plenty. So I am going to try to eat more. And Im going to start counting calories instead of fat. I was eating 30grams of fat a day. Now I will eat between 2000 and 2400 calories a day. Maybe Ive been starving myself. I know they say you can go in to starvation mode if you dont eat enough but I didnt think that was me. So here's to eating more!

I won!

My first time winning! Every week I go to a Biggest Loser weigh in group. For the first time in 14 weeks I won! YAY ME! I was really good at Thanksgiving dinner and didnt eat bad. I lost 5.5lbs this week! So I won a $75 Bath & Body works gift card. I'm so excited!

1 yard!

I have lost 37 inches off my body! That is one yard! I took my measurements today and it's a total of 37 inches. Im so happy! Im amazed at myself. I have NEVER stuck to weightloss this long and had this much success! I have had my downs and stopped for a bit but have not completely quit! Ive gotten back on track. 2 months til Mexico. I didnt lose as much as I wanted to by Dec but I am still doing it. At least I didn't quit! I have lost 3 in off my hips and 2 in of each thigh. I am most proud of that. Least excited about the 4 in off my chest lol but that could be back fat and not boobs.

16 weeks ago

Ive lost 18.6lbs since these pics 16 weeks ago!!!

Big Butt!!

I was going through pictures on the computer at work Thursday and came across a picture of me from March of this year. I was HUGE! And my butt was like a giant ghetto booty on a girl from a rap video! I was just so big and I cant believe it! I asked people at work if I still look like that and they said no! Thank God! I didnt realize I looked like that and am thankful that I am losing weight! Even if it is slowly.

Size 16!

I have a pair of size 16 old navy capris. I decided to try to get them on. They were very tight but they zipped up! So I fit in to a pair of size 16 pants! WOOHOO! Its disgusting to say but I started in size 23. I am comfortably in a size 18 now. I can buy jeans at Old Navy! I couldnt before because they only go up to 18. It's so nice!

6 weeks

Its been 6 weeks since I last posted. I've had ups and downs. I am down 28.1lbs right now though. But then it goes up 5lbs and I get depressed bla bla bla. So anyway, this is my 6 week pic since the last time I posted. I dont really see a difference. These size 18 jeans do feel loose though. And this is a size Large shirt.

Round 3

This is the 3rd round of my 12 weeks. I have come so far! My next twelve weeks will end Sept 19. This is my new pic to start the next 12 weeks!

Weeks 12-24

week 12 week 16 week 24

This is the change over the last 12 weeks. I have now been doing this for 24 weeks - 6 months.

This is why...

This is why I can wear a size L! I didn't start taking behind pics until 8 weeks ago but I am glad I did! This is how much I have changed from behind in the past 8 weeks! I am SOOOO excited! WOW look at the difference! I had no idea. Only 8 weeks!

Size Large!

Every year at work we get to buy new uniforms. They bring in 2 big totes of different sizes for us to try on to order. Last year I bought size XXL. This year I tried on an XL and it was too big! So I tried on a L and guess what! It fit!!! I was so excited! I could NOT believe it! WOOHOO!!!!

Goodbye 20lbs!

Do you see my weight loss ticker over there???? ~~~~~~~~~~) What does it say? 20lbs! I have lost 20lbs! I don't think I have EVER lost 20lbs! After 10 or so I give up cause I hit a plateau. Well this time I didnt give up! Eventhough i wasnt losing I kept eating right and exercising. There was a week or 2 I got off track but I got back on and that's the important part! I have been overweight ALL my life! I thought I was big in highschool but I gained 90lbs after highschool! Holy crap! The last 30 was just since last Sept. So in January I decided to do something about it and here I am 20lbs lighter! I lost an end table! It's like I was carrying around an end table or a 1 year old. And Im not stopping!

I have tried Curves, Atkins, Weight Watchers, The Zone, and numerous other diets. Well it's plan and simple. If you dont want to be fat, don't eat fat! Ever since I read the Body For Life book it gave me the motivation I needed! And now I follow Jillian Michael's and it's all working!

Thank you God!

Upcoming dates to lose weight for - My friend Cheryl's wedding July 10. 4 weeks away. I want to lose another pants size by then!

2lbs

As I step on the scale today, it tells me I've lost 2lbs! YAY! My weightloss is going again! Im back on track. I had one off day but I got right back on track the next morning. Ive exercised every day (but today but I still have time)

So since I started in January I have lost 18.4lbs and it feels GREAT!

Low Fat Shrimp Dish

I made this last night for supper. It was good! (Picture to come)

LOW-FAT SHRIMP DISH

1 bottle no fat Italian dressing
1/3 c. Worcestershire sauce
3 tbsp. chopped garlic
1 tsp. salt-free seasoning
Pinch of sugar
1/3 c. skim milk (optional)
1 qt. peeled raw shrimp
1 sm. pkg. cooked shell or wagon wheel pasta
Butter-flavored Pam
1 c. chopped green onions

Spray a large coated skillet with Pam. Add first 6 ingredients. Simmer until bubbling. (Add milk if desired.) Add shrimp. Cook 10 minutes on low heat (bubbling). Add green onions and then cooked pasta. Heat for approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Serve.

5lbs!

I've lost 5 lbs! I had really gotten off track. I didnt even realize it. I would cheat here and there but it was becoming more and more often and I didnt even realize how much cheating I was doing. Sundays are my free day where I can eat whatever I want and I wasnt even looking forward to Sundays because I was cheating so much through the week.

So I have gone back to my old ways. I had to go back to writing down EVERYTHING I eat. I thought that I didnt need to because I knew what I could and couldn't eat and how much fat it was. Well, that's true BUT I was eating extra stuff. PLUS I went back to drinking coffee. I blame my friend Maria! lol She complained that no one would drink coffee with her. Well I just drink tea now in a covered mug and she thinks it's coffee LOL Sorry Maria, I love you! Also have been drinking 2 things of water a day that are 4cups of water each. So between that and the tea I should be really flushing my system.

I also had gotten off track with my exercising. I would make up excuses, "I got up too late," or "It's too hot." This week I exercised every week. And if I got up too late I would do it after work.

So I weighed myself yesterday and lost 5lbs!

I had been stuck between 5lbs, going up and going down. Well now I have blown that 5lbs away and am below it! According to my Biggest Loser scale I lost 9% body fat. YAY! GO ME!!!!

Feels Good

I won't dwell on the fact that I didn't do well this week. We went camping Mon, Tues, Wed and I ate like crap and didn't exercise (other than walking to the bathroom!) So Monday I get back on track.

But today I went through my closet and got rid of anything with a XXL on it because I am down to XL! I am keeping one shirt and one pair of pants to put on at the end and show how baggy they are.

Tomorrow I start a Biggest Loser Weight Loss group! Will post about that tomorrow!

Helloooo???

Does anyone come and read what I write? I would just like to know. I would like insight, comments, and such. Thanks!

Last 10 Pounds

I watched this show for the first time on Mother's day. I find I hardly get any TV time anymore. So I sat down and was flipping through the channels. I tuned in to this. I enjoyed it, however, I have way more than just 10lbs to lose!

It did help me though. It brought me back to the beginning and gave me a reminder. In the beginning, I read Body for Life and was all pumped. Body for life got me to lose 12.4lbs. BFL says dont count fat or anything, just make healthy choices and reasonable helpings. BFL also says to do cardio one day, upper strength the next, cardio, then lower strength.

So then I started doing Jillian Michael's 30 day shred, which I love. BUT! I was doing it every day. For the first week I lost 3.6lbs which brought me to my 15lb weight loss. Then after that weight chaos and fluctuations galore!

So The last 10lbs helped me to remember that I need to eat healthy and more not less. I have gotten in to a bad habit of eating the same thing everyday and my body has adapted. I need to switch it up.

Also, Jillian had me doing the same exercises every day and BFL says that's not good. So I will do Jillian's workouts Mon, Wed, Fri and ride my bike Tues, Thurs.

Mother's Day

I have been depressed with my weight. It is SO all over the pace! I was down 15lbs. Then I weighed myself and all of a sudden I was up 6lbs! I wasn't on my period. I haven't stopped eating healthy or exercising. I have been doing everything the same. And I gain 6lbs! So Ive been depressed. Ive been ready to quit but thankfully I have great friends and family to encourage (or threaten lol) me.

So today I weighed myself and I'm down 13.6lbs. That's better than the 6lb weight gain! Also, I have gone from a size 22 pants (that's embarassing to admit but there, I said it!)to a size 20. Well today, wearing my size 20 jeans, I bent over outside to pick up a box, stood up and half my butt was hanging out LOL So I can't quite get in to my size 18 jeans yet but the 20s are falling off. That's a good sign!

I work 9:30-6 this week so I have no excuse to not exercise. I pray for good health to be able to. I grocery shopped this morning and bought healthy food to make it through 2 weeks.

Week 16

Here is week 12 & week 16 of my weightloss. I dont see much of a difference but Paul says he does. I see more of a difference with clothes off but Im not posting that lol

Measurements 16 weeks

I took my measurements today. Not a huge loss but in total I have lost 24.5inches in 16 weeks!

pre-weigh in

So tomorrow is suppose to be my official weigh in and as I hopped on the scale this morning I thought, "I shouldn't be doing this!" but I've lost 15lbs! yay me!

30 day Shred

I have started doing Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred. Today was day 4 (if you don't count the 2 days I did it before the week I took off.) I can already tell a difference in my endurance.

I cheated and weighed myself today and it says I've lost a total of 13.6lbs!

After 35lbs

So I found this website

http://www3.weightmirror.com/weightmirror/

and it shows you what you will look like after you've lost weight. So supposedly this is what I'll look like after I lose 35lbs. We'll see how close it is!

Took a week off

I was sick last week! My throat hurt and I had trouble breathing. Every day when I woke up I would hack up so much mucous I couldn't exercise. So I took a week of exercising off. I know that's dangersous but I will start back on Monday! I will do Jillian Michael's 3o day Shred all week next week! I work at 9:30 so I can sleep til 7:30 and still do my work out before work. Another bad thing, I cheated all week. I still ate my good food through the day but it was like when i got home I just ate bad. Chocolate or cream cheese.

Well today I lost .8lbs!

last week I didnt post but I'd gained 1lb :o( So this isn't an additional .8lbs but I am almost back down to where I was. The Jillian Michaels DVD is suppose to lose 5lbs a week so maybe next week will be a nice loss. I am scheduled for my period though so we'll see how it goes.

New 12 weeks

Here is my new pic for the next 12 weeks. I have on a new pair of jeans that are tighter and a tighter shirt.

12 week pics

Time to reflect

While looking back over my goals, I realize some were unreasonable. I didn't lose 20lbs and I'm not 2 sizes smaller. However, my pants are looser and I have gone down 2 sets of 10 in weight. It's nice to see the numbers drop. It's time to make new goals and start again. I'm going to take new pictures. I'm very happy with myself. I've never been motivated like this and stuck with my weight loss for this long. This time I will do it!

Chicken Enchiladas

I made these today, Friday.

Review:

These were really good! They aren't much different from the enchiladas I already make. I used light cheese for mine. I used whole wheat tortillas. This is one of our family favorites. I made guacamole to go with it. We all loved it!

Herbed Chicken

I made this dish Thursday night.

Review:

Chicken was really good! I don't know if I cooked the potatoes too long but they didn't look like they did in the book and they were too mushy. Would have been better if I peeled the potatoes and just made them in to mashed potatoes.

Zesty Italian Chicken

I made this meal for the family on Wednesday. It's called Herbed Chicken from the Eating for Life book. I will provide recipes if anyone is interested.

Review:

Well it wasn't that great. I marinated the chicken in Italian dressing overnight and I didn't taste any Italian dressing on the chicken. The dish was a little bland, however, it tasted better the next day when I reheated it for lunch!

My pants fit!

Saturday I was wearing a pair of jeans and I noticed I could pull them down without undoing them!

Today I tried on a pair of khakis that I bought from Old Navy last year. I probably bought them in October or November. When I bought them they were tight and I only wore them a couple times because I wasn't comfortable in them. I couldn't sit down and the thighs were really tight.

I jsut tried them on and they went right up and aren't uncomfortable! Yay! Im wearing them tomorrow!

Eating for Life

My good friend Nickey just got me this book and I LOVE it! It is the Body for Life recipe book. I have picked out 8 recipes and have made my grocery list of what I need. For the next 2 weeks I will be eating recipes from this book. I'm excited! I will take pictures and post my opinion of each recipe. I was trying to decide if I should make a new "Eating for Life" Blog then decided against it because who needs lots of blogs? This is weight loss related and that's what this blog is all about! So stay tuned!

11 weeks

I have one week left before my 12 weeks is up. Today I lost:

1.2 lbs!!


For a total of 12.4 lbs!

Plateau no more

Well I havent been weighing in because it hasnt been going nowhere and it's been depressing and frustrating! I havent quit though. I changed my eating shedule and started walking the treadmill instead of riding my bike. But I had lost 10lbs then I gained 3lbs then I lost 1.6 and it seemed to hold steady at that. So today...

I lost 2.2lbs! I am out of my plateau. So that's now a total of 10.8lbs.

I hope Im back on track now and Im ready to get the next 10 lbs off!

Special K

This is my breakfast most mornings. I LOVE this stuff! 10g of protein and 1g of fat!

Transformation

At the end of 12 weeks with Body for Life you are suppose to see a transformation in your body. My friend at work keeps telling me she can really tell in my midsection but I just think yea whatever. I took pictures at the beginning, 4 weeks, and now at 8 weeks and I can see it! I can see the transformation!

Sundress in Mexico

December 3, 2010 will be Paul's and my 10 year anniversary! So we are going to go to Mexico! What a great incentive to lose weight! My goal is to lose 90lbs by December! That's 9 months. I think I can do it! And I want to wear a sundress when in Mexico. I have NEVER wore a sundress or even a dress unless it was to a funeral or wedding. So I want to wear something cute like this:

Unmotivated

Ok so due to lack of motivation or love of sleep...I haven't exercised much this last week. I've had to get to work for 6:45 so I havent exercised much :o( I know...bad me! I have been doing really well with my eating though! (except for those damn meatballs last night!)

Anyway...I gained .8lbs this week :o(

I will re-weigh tomorrow. I did get new motivation today though! I went to a workshop today with a friend and all day she told me how good I look. She even said she didn't recognize me because of the weight I've lost. So also told me a story of a girl she knows that lost 65lbs over the winter by running and doing Body for Life. So just now I went 15mins on my treadmill. I LOVE my exercise bike but I think my body may be use to it and plateauing. So my mini goal is to do the treadmill 2 times a week.

14 inches!

When I weighed in on Sunday I'd gained .6lbs but it's that special time of the month.

Last night I took my measurements. The last time I took my measurements was Feb 5.

I have lost 14 inches!

Wow I was so excited!

First Compliment

Today I got my first compliment. The girls at work have made mention of my weightloss but they know I'm losing weight so it kinda isn't the same. Thursday night was the Spaghetti dinner at work. My friend's husband was there. Today she told me he said I look really good! Not hitting on me, just saying that he could tell. He said I looked like I'd lost weight and my friend said she didn't even tell him I have until after he said something. So that really makes me feel good! A nice little incentive to keep going!

6 weeks

Today marks 6 weeks! I'm half way there!!!! And I weighed myself today....


10 lbs!!! I've lost 10 lbs!!!


YAY

5 week weigh in

I am down a total of

7.4lbs!

YAY! HOORAY!

GO MANDY!

4 weeks pics

I don't know if I can tell much difference. It's been 4 weeks since I've started body for Life.

January 10, 2010

February 7, 2010

Week 4 Weigh in

I'm a little disappointed. I weighed myself today and I gained 1.2lbs. I'm hoping it's just muscle. On Body For Life they tell you that you may not lose pounds because you're gaining muscle but you will transform your body. So later I will take a picture and see if I can tell a difference in 4 weeks. I'm not giving up but just a little bummed :o(

Update

I know I haven't updated in awhile, but there hasn't been much to tell. I didn't post a weigh in on Saturday because there was no change. I didn't lose anything but I didn't gain either. I was a little disappointed BUT I was on my period and that causes water gain so I am hoping I lost weight but with the water gain it counteracted it. I'm hoping there is a loss this weekend.

I was kinda bad with my exercising this week. I had to get up at 5:30 to go to work this week and I just couldn't drag myself out of bed some mornings to do it. But this morning, I promised myself I'd do it as soon as I got home and I did.

I just rode my bike 10.09km in 20mins. I started out 4 weeks ago doing 8.8km in 20mins so I've had some nice progress.

Brown RIce

So I've been eating a lot of rice lately and I know brown rice is better than white, I've just been eating white. So I decided to get some brown rice. I really don't like the taste but I'm training myself. This is what I eat now.

Cheat Day

So today was my cheat day...or maybe I should call it my free day so it doesn't sound like I'm cheating on Paul lol. Sundays I can eat whatever I want. Man can I tell! I feel sluggish and gross.

I had a bagel with cream cheese, cheese nips and pretzels with cream cheese...can you tell I love cream cheese? For lunch I had 3 samosas. I had an XL triple triple from Tim Hortons. For supper we're having steak and potatoes and Im having some Bailey's in milk.

I had a nap today. I used to get tired all the time and need a nap but since Ive started eating right and exercising I havent needed to, until today. I was so tired I couldn't make it without a nap. I slept for 2 hours. So that really goes to show how the healthy eating benefits me.

Tomorrow I am back on track to healthy eating!

Weigh In

Week #2 weigh in:

3.4 lbs lost!

For a total of:

5.8 lbs lost!!


HOORAY!!!!

Go me!!!

When I weighed myself this morning I gasped. I don't know what I was expecting but I was just so happy to see that. I'm proud of myself!

Lots of Work

Wow eating healthy is lots of work! I spend a lot of time preparing food. Every night when I get off of work, I come home and empty out me & the boys' lunch bags. I wash all the containers then I make supper. I make me something different then them so that is extra work. Then I make lunches for the boys for the next day. Then I prepare all of my food. I have to plan 6 meals for me to eat that equal 30 grams of fat. It's a lot of work! I like taking the time though and doing something special for myself. Tomorrow I am taking ground turkey meatloaf and a baked potato. I will have an egg sandwich for breakfast, protein shake for morning snack, cottage cheese and apple for noon snack, and a frozen dinner for supper. Maybe some smart pop for night snack.

Real Age

I was really shocked! I took this test and I was truthful on all! I am only a smidgen older than I really am!

(found on Shar's blog)

D-licious!!!

I love the Mongolian Grill and have been craving it lately! So I decided to go to the store and get the ingredients to make my own dish. This was my supper tonight and it was AWESOME!!! I loved it!



1C shrimp

half bag baby spinach

2 T garlic ail

broccoli

1C chick peas

soy sauce

mushrooms


served on rice


5 grams of fat

Farewell Coffee

In 2001, after I had Chay, I started drinking coffee to give me the energy to stay awake. Now, in 2010 I have decided to give it up.

I was drinking one or two XL triple triples a day! There is 21 grams of fat PER XL triple triple. If I made coffee at home I would use milk and put 4 tablespoons of suger in each coffee. I would have 4-5 a day.

I have no started drinking flavored teas. What have I been missing? I love all the choices and flavors. I used to drink tea with milk and 4 tablespoons of sugar. In one week, I have gotten myself down to no milk and just 1 tablespoon of sugar.

This is the tea that I bought today. I also bought Irish Breakfast tea to drink in the mornings. This has to make a big difference, just cutting out coffee!

Weigh In

Today is my weigh in day and....

2.4lbs lost!

I was hoping for more but I will take what I can get!

It doesnt seem like much because my weight fluctuates so much anyway, it's normal for me to go up and down between a couple pounds. So next week when I see it go down even more it will be really nice.

Today is going to be hard because I am home all day. At work it is easier because I'm busy and I have to find time to go get food. At home it's the opposite, the food is always readily available and I have to get away from it. Plus the girls at work are eating healthy too so that's a nice support. Here no one else cares what they eat lol

Still going strong!

I love this and can't wait to weigh in Saturday morning! The ladies at work are doing weight watches so they are watching points and Im watching fat. It's nice to have support. I'm glad we're all doing this together. I know we can all do it! Tomorrow I get paid so I get to go shopping and I'm excited to go shopping and buy lots of good healthy food to eat!

Day 3

I feel like Ive been doing this forever! It's not hard. I had a weird meatball craving today but it quickly went (when Brianne mentioned meatball poop lol) I used to go crazy as soon as I got home from work. Tonight, I got home from work and made myself an egg sandwich. I didnt put cheese or butter on my sandwich. Just 2 pieces of whole wheat toast and 1 egg & 1 egg white. I can't wait to weigh in Saturday!

Exercise

Last night I did upper body with soup cans. It doesnt feel like it did anything but I'm going to start using 3 lb weights.

I just rode my bike for 20 mins. I usually do 15 but I pushed myself to 20 today. 8.8km! Go me!

Goals

These are the questions the book tells you to answer before you begin.

• Have you made a decision to change? Yes
• What are your reasons for making the decisions to change? I am unhealthy. I want to look good for Paul and not be embarassed to meet people. Right now it is hard to get up.
• When you look at yourself, do you honestly like what you see? No! I look like a whale.
• How do you feel deep down inside? miserable - unhappy - no confidence
• Are you confident, energetic, and strong? not at all
• Do you often wonder if you're on the right path? yes
• What are the pros and cons of continuing in the direction you're going? pros - easier cons - feel gross, look gross, unhealthy, die young.
• Would you like to create a brighter future? yes, for me and my family.
• What are the five most important, specific accomplishments you need to make, within the next 12 weeks for you to be pleased with the progress of your body and life? Lose the double chin I'm getting, Lose 20 lbs of fat, Wear size 16 pants, People to notice, Walk to Tim Horton's without getting out of breath.

Within 12 weeks I will lose 20lbs of fat.

Within 12 weeks I will be wearing size 16 jeans.

Within 12 weeks I will walk to Tim Horton's and not be out of breath.

Within 12 weeks I won't have to distort my face to make it look good in pictures.

Within 12 weeks I will be more confident about myself!

Body for Life

Body for Life is the program I am using to lose weight. In 12 weeks it will change the way I look, the way I feel, and the way I think. I am reading the book by Bill Phillips. It has me writing out goals and giving me the strength that I need to lose weight.

I will exercise 6 days a week. 20 minutes on my bike every other day and then rotate upper and lower body stengthing with weights. Right now I don't have weights so I am using soup cans.

The cravings have already stopped. This is day 2. We had cheese for snack today and I didnt even want it. Cheese and peanut butter are 2 of my biggest cravings. I will poste my goals in a seperate post.

Day 1

Today is the first day of the rest of my life!

Today I woke up and rode my exercise bike for 15 minutes (6.62km) Yay go me! I had 2 pancakes with low sugar jam instead of syrup. When I got to work I had a tea instead of coffee. I drank a bottle of water after my work out and a bottle of water when I got to work. I had an orange for mid morning snack. Lunch I had a taco salad and half a wrap. It wasn't as low fat as I would have liked it to be but I had no other food so I ate what I could get. I would say it was about 16 grams of fat for the wrap and the salad. So then for snack I had a tuna salad sandwhich with tamato - 4 grams of fat. Paul bought me some lean cuisines so I had one for supper which was 6 grams of fat and a banana. I had more tea and more water as well. Oh and I slipped a little and had a cheese string but it was only 4 grams of fat. So that is it for today! I think I did pretty well.

I have already made my lunch for tomorrow. I made some whole wheat noodles with spaghetti sauce and chicken.

I have taken before pictures but I dont want to post them until I start to show some change because it is embarassing what I look like right now!

Last weekend

This is the last weekend to eat. On Monday, January 14, 2010 I will begin my weight loss journey. I will begin eating more. I usually don't eat anything until lunch at 11:45 when I am starving then I pig out and can't seem to get full. I will begin to have 2-3 small snacks in the morning before lunch then 2 more small snacks between lunch and supper. I am going to consume 30 grams of fat a day. I am going to keep a journal of what I eat each day and how much fat is in it. I am going to stop drinking so much coffee. Right now I drink an XL triple triple a day. That has 21 grams of fat! I am going to only have coffee on Fridays. The rest of the week I will drink something that has milk instead of cream. I will begin exercising at least 3 times a week 15 mins a day.

Can I do this? Of course I can!

Will I do this! Yes!

Do I need support? TONS!
