One week on this horrible journey called dieting...

Okay so obviously if your following this you know Im a photographer and 90% of my time is consumed with my job.  So that being said I may not be able to blog every day but will post daily activity and food to help motivation from days not blogged. 

Okay, today marks week 1.. Im stoked.  I am going to buy a scale today. I am.  I am going to weight myself.  Maybe tomorrow I will have some super exciting post about how I am down a lb or two.  So we will see.

While I was out..

This weekend was the hardest.. I can make it through the week fine since I'm so busy and I went grocery shopping to help with home food and snacks.  Now Friday, Saturdays and Sundays are bad.  Fridays and Saturdays I enjoy family and friends and try to not work much so that means more time to eat or drink calories that I don't need.  I do enjoy an adult beverage but luckily me I don't drink much anyway so calories in drinks don't bother me... so maybe a beer once every two weeks is okay.  Now the only downfall is I love Mexican(as everyone knows this) and I love a margarita.  Those things are super dangerous.  I have to stay away from the 800 calorie drinks. So if I go have a drink with friends, corona light it is. 

Also, This is the season for cooking out so I spend alot of time with friends and family and we usually cookout! This means hotdogs and hamburgers.  No bueno on a diet.  So I'm looking to grill chicken kabobs, tuna steaks and veggies from now on... Sorry Kim Smith.. we must no longer do hamburger cookout dates.. only veggie cookout dates. 

SUNDAY.. how i love it.  I have been going to church with friends and my children really seem to enjoy it as much as I do.. (First Baptist of Brandon) so I'm excited about Sundays.. until 12:30 comes along.. we are eating our Sunday lunches... so that means I need to speak up and say no when we are going to go somewhere that doesn't have options.. I can go home and cook a Sunday meal instead of restaurants.. I must do it.

So tomorrow we will see how much if any I have lost.. and hopefully It will help me correct my mistakes of going over or under this week!  Please join My fitness pal http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ .. its amazing.. really helps me keep track!!!

Until tomorrow (which I will post the fabulous week 2 old navy outfit pic).. good day!
