Week 2 weight in

Week 2 weigh in = 5lbs LOST!!!!!!!! 
                                 12lbs lost total    
                                    88lbs to go!
                             
If I keep this up, I'm going to reach my goal in no time. I can't believe that I'm actually doing it. In the past, every diet I tried didn't work. Or it worked for a couple days and then it stopped so I gave up. For some reason, this time is different. My motivation is different. My goals are actually reachable. (my 100lb goal is attainable over time) I know that this amount of weight loss isn't going to happen every week but a girl can be optimistic right?

Some things that are happening right now are: 
     -Jillian Michaels 30 day shred Monday through Friday
     - Mandatory breakfast consisting of cereal, fruits or hard boiled eggs with toast.
     - Lunch is pretty much whatever is in the fridge. Anything from soup, salad, turkey wrap, another bowl of cereal, cheese and crackers....
     - Dinner is a range of food from chicken, salmon and turkey burgers with a large side of any vegetable. My faves are broccoli, green beans and salad. I don't eat a lot of calories during the day, so I indulge in my favorite salad dressings and don't worry about the calories in the dressing.
     - Water is my best friend. 100% Orange juice is a healthy alternative when I'm not feeling water. Those little Mio things work really well. I've only tried the grape but it's delicious. 
     - I'm beginning to feel a difference in my arms. I wish I was seeing a difference in my belly fat. That's where alllllllllllllllllllllllll my fat is. There, and my inner thighs. But with the extensive research I've done trying to find ways to get rid of belly fat, there aren't really any. Cardio will burn calories which will in turn help you lose fat where it needs to be burned i.e. your stomach. Slow and steady fits in the wedding dress of her dreams I guess. 

I want to give a special shout out to my ex husband Kyle. Thank you for always saying I was too fat and using that as a "motivator" to try to get me to lose weight. I am with a wonderful man who loves me for who I am and what I look like. I motivate myself to work out and it's actually working. No wonder I never lost weight with you JERK! but anywho... I can't wait for next weeks weigh in. :)
