Weight Loss.....

OK so 3 weeks ago, Shauna & I decided we were going to get healthy and start back on our weight loss program and this time doing it the right way!! I had gained almost all of my weight lost from a year ago and Shauna grew inches but not so much weight, therefore we realized it was time for a healthy change. We talked to Shauna's sister and she set up a meal plan for us here's a quick breakdown: Breakfast- egg whites, toast with peanut butter, or protein shake Snack- celery with peanut butter, hard boiled egg, almonds, or fruit Lunch- salad, chicken, fish, veggies Snack- same as other snack but mix it up a bit, yogurt, etc. Dinner- fish, chicken, veggies, etc. Last Snack- Protein shake At first we thought this diet thing was going to be hell and don't get me wrong at times we still crave all the bad stuff we wish we could have, but seeing some kind of results helps with those cravings and I do make wheat pasta one day a week or something that is a tad bit badder for us than what we eat everyday. The first week was awesome and we lost quite a bit of weight, I'm going to talk mainly about my own weight from here on out, but Shauna is still doing amazing. So back to the loss.......after week 1 I lost 10 lbs approximately, then week 22 I hit a wall and only lost 1 lb and mother nature struck so I'm sure she had something to do with it, now we are into week 3 and Ive lost 2 lbs so far and its Wednesday, I weigh in every Sunday in the morning so I get the same accurate reading. I look forward to increasing my exercises and continue on the eating healthy plan until I loose all the weight that I need to loose, not just for myself but to also be able to do extra fun things with Ethan and not feel like an elephant. So on to my GOALS!!!! 1. BIG NUMBER 1 GOAL!!!- loose a total of 55 lbs and I'm shooting for a final weigh in on New Year's Eve so I have 8 months total to accomplish this 2. first to start hit below 200 and at 199lbs- I'm going to buy myself a massage at Massage Envy 3. then hit 190 which will be rewarded with a spa pedicure 4. then my final weight of under 180!!! I will go buy myself new clothes because I'm sure nothing will fit by then :o) I am beyond serious about this and just hope I can keep my motivation, some days are harder than others so well see but I will also take pics of progress to show the different weight losses. Hoping to be able to notice a big difference by the time I get to month number 3. SO FAR: WEEK 1- 10 POUNDS WEEK 2- 1 POUND WEEK 3- 2 POUNDS SO FAR........stay tuned for more loss!! to start off- (hard to see the belly but its there lol)
