So, lesson learned today! If you have a Fast Food craving go hit Taco Bell's Drive Through Diet menu. If you order a Fresco Taco it is only 150 calories and no trans fats. Not the best because it is the evil spawn of the food menu but, in a pinch of desperation or a treat could be fantastic!

Leaving in just a few minutes to do a run/walk. I am trying to do some high intensity paired with low intensity. Running and walking is a great one.
I am breathing easier and feel more motivated than ever to keep plugging along!

I ate a cheeseburger last night. It was the most delicious cheeseburger I have ever eaten. I also felt MORE guilty than any time I have eaten a cheeseburger before.
My husband said that I need to indulge every so often. I feel like I should have stayed on track better. I can indulge when I weigh 250. All that to say, I came in under my calorie goal. So, I am happy about that.
Skipped Tae Bo but, did a lot of stuff outside and in. Went to bed at 9:45 and slept like a log.

I heard you are supposed to feel more energy when you work out and eat right. Mostly, I just go to bed early! I suppose that just because you work out doesn't outweigh the fact that you are still overweight.
Makes sense? Yes it does.

Went out last night to meet a friend.
I am focused on only eating natural sugar and honey. That being said, I deeply desired a sugary treat, and felt the burning urge to chow down.
I managed to resist, and  while at Jamba Juice, ordered a Orange, Banana, Carrot juice with a shot of Wheatgrass.
This morning I was rewarded when I stepped on the scale and it blinked back at me 313.
It reminded me where my focus is. Lose this weight and get healthy. Sugary treats will always be there but, they are not a part of me reaching my goals.
It's helped to think of it as poison. Why in the world would I knowingly put poison in my body?

Didn't work out yesterday, due to time. Getting back on the wagon today.
Diet and exercise maximize my weight loss potential!

My first small goal is to weigh 300 by Mothers Day, Which is May 13th
I have 3 weeks and 13 pounds to go.
Wahoo!

So today was a glorious day. I stepped up to that mean old snarly scale and stepped right on in confidence.
My reward was reading a big fat (or skinny-ish) 314!
I was reminded that I am past the 10% mark!

Enjoyed a morning of killer Tae Bo and celebrated by NOT EATING junk food.

Lunch was a delicious salad of chicken, Cous Cous and veggies. My portions were in check and water was consumed afterward.

I praise the Lord for his continued strength as  I turn to him and not food.
