My week...so far.

So, I have been doing this lifestyle change for almost a full week. I started it the evening of Friday, January 6th. I feel good. I do crave things, but take stuff away that you're used to every.single.day. and you're going to crave it a little. I'm hoping the cravings go away by the end of week 2.

I'm excited to see what my official weigh-in on Monday is going to be. I hurt my ankle yesterday, but we're not supposed to be exercising yet. We were told just to get in 3-5 hours of activity.

As far as food is concerned, I have only "cheated" twice. When I first thought about it, I didn't consider it cheating, but after eating this way for a week...well, it was cheating. There isn't anything else to call it. It was Saturday morning. Only my second meal with my new lifestyle change. Tory was hunting, so it was me and the kids at home. I started making our bacon and realized that I had just bought 5 packages of biscuits because they were on sale. UGH! Money is tight, so I obviously couldn't let them go to waste. I made them for Hunter. Hunter ate one, Hannah ate a few pieces of one, and I had one. I am proud of myself for only having one. Normally, I can devour 3 biscuits without blinking.

Sunday, Tory was home, but I wasn't feeling really well. I think it had to do with the coconut oil that I was taking. For breakfast, we did eggs, bacon, and reheated the biscuits. I had one and Tory had the last of them.

Fortunately, this has been the only time I've cheated, so I personally think that's pretty good.

This morning, my mom sent me a link to do some readings of success stories. I'm SOOOO excited. There is one that sounds similar to me and Tory, but the lady was about 100lbs smaller than me when she started. I'm not discouraged, just more motivated. I KNOW I can do this!

I'm so lucky to have the help of my mom and husband. I feel like I've tried everything and nothing is making the weight come off. At this point, not only am I doing this for myself, but I'm doing it for my beautiful kids and my AMAZING husband. I love them all so much! And thanks, mom. If it weren't for you hearing about this program I'd still be eating crap.

LOVE!!
