July 1st & July 2nd... Days 2 & 3
Okay, so I missed yesterday's post... Jeremy and I don't actually have internet til next week, so I can't really post on a consistent basis right now...
July 1st
Breakfast: Special K Cinnamon Pecan & a banana
Snack.... didn't get one...
Lunch: Tuna sandwich, a few whole wheat crackers, a plum, and a granola bar
Snack.... banana on the way to the gym
Workout: well yesterday was my first free personal training session that i got with the gym membership, it was basically just a fitness assessment of this is what you look like now, if you set goals for yourself this is what you could look like in 2 months.
So here is my two month goal: resistance (weights) 3 days a week, cardio 5 days a week (harder on Tues/Thur when I don't lift), focus on my nutrition 5 days a week (I get two cheat days!), and take my multivitamin everyday!
If I stick to this I will hopefully lose 15 pounds and take my percent body fat from 24% to around 18%.
Dinner: I attempted to make mac & cheese... but I believe it or not I actually messed it up, I don't know if I didn't let the water boil long enough or what, but it was mushy and disgusting! So I went to Target to find something for dinner and bought a box of MorningStar Corndogs (they are like veggie corndogs, very good). And i had two of those for dinner....
oh yea... and I did pick up a Butterfinger at Target too.... it was soooooo good!
July 2nd Day 3
Today started off again with Special K for breakfast....
Snack: plum and three whole wheat crackers with peanut butter
Lunch: mini can of spaghettios... they are the best, but i can only find the mini cans at walmart, banana, half a package of trailmix, a few more crackers with peanut butter
Snack: granola bar on the way to the gym
Exercise: did some weights for about 25 minutes... squats, lunge with a bicep curl, hip abductor and adductor machine, leg curls, leg press, chest press, and shoulder press, then i did the elliptical for 20 minutes, and i went hard for 20 minutes just under 3 miles & 200 calories
Dinner: well I haven't actually ate yet... but I plan on eating two more corn dogs, some cheeze-its, and maybe some ice cream tonight
that's all the update I've got for ya... tomorrow I get to go to the Zoo with Damon, Mandy, and Solomon! I am supper pumped! Definitely I will have a cheat day tomorrow :)

June 30th.... Day 1
So a couple weeks ago I found out that someone close to me could have the potential for health problems in the future if they do not start exercising, watching what they eat, and taking care of their body, hopefully this will encourage this person because I LOVE THEM!
It inspired me to start an accountability blog online for myself... I want to live a healthy lifestyle and enjoy life to the fullest! I realize that not all the foods that I eat are healthy, but it's all about portion control and eating what you enjoy! I also joined a gym last week to help me get on a regular exercise routine!
So what is this blog about... well starting today I am going to make known to the world (or at least my friends and family) what I am eating, my weight loss goals, my daily exercise routine, and whatever else I feel like writing down!
I feel that if I have to post what I eat then I might want to start eating a little better!
So here we go: Monday June 30th
Starting weight: 153
Breakfast: 3/4 cup Cinnamon Pecan Special K with 1/2 Skim Milk and 1 cup of skim milk to drink
Snack: Peanut Butter Chip Quaker Granola Bar & a plum
Lunch: a little bit of Yogurt with some granola, a banana, and a BBQ Chicken Hot Pocket (so amazing!!!)
Exercise: 30 Minutes on the tredmill... 3 min walk/2 min run (7.0) then 4 min walk/1 min run (7.5), repeat 3 times
Dinner: Tuna salad sandwich on toasted bread with 2 pickle spears, one package of quaker mini delights (peanut butter), cookies & cream Quaker granola bar
Snack: 1/2 cup of Mint Cookies & Cream ice cream (Eddy's..... sooooo good!)
I won't be counting calories really... and i probably won't get into the habit of measuring my food... just being cautious...
Encouragements, critism's, and thoughts are welcome!!!
