Scott and I have been trying to work out at the gym regularly and eat well, but we decided that we need a short term goal to keep us going forward. Yesterday morning we decided that we both want to lose 5lbs by Easter. Our rules are:
He goes to the school in the morning when we get up and usually works out with his brother.
I was so proud of myself! I have always been REALLY bad at cardio and when I started going to the gym I burned 400 calories an hour, now I'm up to like 560! Scott burns way more, but that's partly because he's better and stronger and partly because he weighs a lot more than I do!
It's also my time to watch tv since we don't have cable. Today I watched the Food Network channel! It's my favorite.
So, I encourage you to call, email, message me and ask me how I'm doing! Keep me on track!
- No Sweets
- Pasta Twice a Week
- No Eating after 8pm
- Keep a Food Diary (livestrong.com w/daily plate) with calorie restriction
- Work Out Every Day (except Sunday, unless a walk)
- Fruit Anytime
- One Meal Replacement Protein Shake a Day

Look at you blog! Woo Hoo!
And good for you! We made the no eating after 8 rule, but had to move it to 8:30 because Andy doesn't get home til late and well...we wanted another 30 minutes. :)
Also, we've tried to cut out sweets for the most part, only having dessert a couple times a week, mostly we're good at it. I did have to go through the pantry and just throw away a bunch of partial packages of junk food, so I wouldn't be tempted. We've been buying fruit a lot lately, and I'm loving it.
But I don't work out. I'm thinking of starting something (at home) I just need to decide what. I need to be ready for bathing suit season!! :)
Anyway, good luck! And I'll totally check on you, so do good! :)
Sounds like you have a great plan in place! I've been really trying to cut back on sweets, but it's so hard! I keep a bag of chocolate in my bag for when I'm stressed out and need a chocolate break. I keep telling myself to stop buying more when I run out--it's not working!
You go girl!
