It was my first WW week and I LOST FIVE pounds I had a bunch of really high point days (like in the 80s) but I still tracked it. I must've been eating a ton.

I want to drink more water and add more fruits/veggies to my day.

I made Emily Bites taco cupcakes and a modified lasagna cupcakes recipe (I used spinach instead of meat, etc)

5 pounds is fabulous! Great job, Jaime!

I haven't decided when my official weigh in day will be, but I think I'm going to make it on Monday or Tuesday so I'll report back then. This week I want to continue to stick to a particular plan. I spent a few days on WW then switched to My Fitness Pal. I need to be consistent with one or the other so for now I'm going with MFP.

Recipes... nothing off the top of my head, but some of my go-to diet foods aside from fruits and veggies are: Morningstar veggie burgers, Amy's frozen meals and garden lites sufflees

I just re-started Friday so I don't have a weigh in for this week. However after only a few days of being active again I already feel like I have more energy. Though I'm more tired at the end of the day.

I feel like I'm doing well with eating right now, it's the workouts that I'll have to focus on getting through. My next rest day is next Sunday, so it's a long haul.

I want to make these again this week, they're chewy and chocolatey but not bad for you! chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012/03/10/thin-mint-brownies/

I did okay to start. I've lost 3lbs. In the last 2 weeks. I started at my gym today and it felt good to exercise. I was on the elliptical for 45 minutes this morning.
This week I want to keep up with going to the gym, spin tomorrow and really focus on healthy snacks.
I made chicken salad today with Greek yogurt, curry, green onion, carrots and cashews. It's really good on flat bread or lettuce for lunch.
5lbs. is awesome! Good job!

I just started on jan 3rd but I'm hanging in there so far. I'm miserable but I feel better at the same time. I won't weigh in until tomorrow.

I'm offically back on starting tomorrow... I took a WW holiday for the two weeks we were gone plus the 1.5 weeks before we left. I weighed today just to check the damage, and I only gained 3 pounds since the last weigh-in, so yay!

Veggies, here I come!

I've been working out hard and I feel great. I have decided not to weight myself though. I will just go by how my clothes fit. Once I am comfortable there then I will step on to the scale.

I care less about the actual number and more about how I look and feel.

It makes such a big difference. I am at my pre-preg weight but NOTHING fits even close. I look horrible in my old closet so the numbers don't mean as much as they used to to me.
