Stop Wishing, Start Doing!



I have decided that it's enough with the excuses to lose weight. Yes I did just have a baby but that was 3 months ago and I can see how easy it can be to use that as an excuse to stay heavy. I don't want to feel this way. I want to keep up with my little one and be able to play with him. So that means cutting the crap (literally) and getting in shape and healthy.
Before my wedding I tried a diet by Bob Harper called The Skinny Rules. It was simple rules to follow. And it made sense. I wound up losing a lot of weight, clearing my skin, and overall feeling fantastic. So I have decided to give it another go. I know the first 2 weeks will be tough as you can't drink alcohol :( and you completely eliminate processed sugar. But I guess that's a good thing.


So I finally decided to start on a Saturday because I always start on a Monday and I wanted to "shake it up". Here is how the first day went. I'll keep you all updated throughout the process.

Day one:

I woke up early and started off with a full glass of water. I then made breakfast which was 3 egg whites and 1 whole egg and a slice of whole wheat bread. Before I ate breakfast I have another full glass of water.

I then went for a walk with my best friend and our children.

Snack time is an apple and a cheese stick (love that I can eat cheese)

Lunch time consists of turkey meatballs and butternut squash on the side. Of course before eating, another full glass of water.

Snack was another apple and a cheese stick.

Dinner. A big salad with crab cakes.

Drank lots of water all day so it helped keep me full. I never felt hungry or stuffed. Just satisfied which is nice!
