So today is the day of my very first blog! I have been thinking of doing this for a few weeks, but I have finally decided to go ahead and do it.
If you don't know me you might not know that I used to be thin... not super skinny or anything, but healthy and thin. I was at my heaviest weight every (well up until that point) when I got pregnant with my son. I gained 42 pounds with him and at my thinnest after him got down to 10 pounds more than that. With my daughter I gained 27 pounds and am now within 5 pounds of my pre-pregnancy weight.
Needless to say... I have a LONG way to go. My goal is to lose 50 pounds in the healthiest way possible. So far I have lost 14 pounds. I don't have a timeline on my weight loss goal but I would obviously like to be at or below my goal weight as soon as possible!
Here is what I have been doing so far I started off doing South Beach Diet Phase One. I know going no-carb is not the healthiest thing to do, but is the only way I know to get rid of my deepest cravings. I love carbs, but it had to be done. I did this for two weeks and did cheat a couple of times on the weekends but overall lost 11 pounds in 2 weeks. The next week I added in one fruit a day and lost 2 pounds that week. The next week I added in one grain and lost one pound. Then (not surprisingly) I started to cheat. So my weight loss has been stagnant for the last two weeks or so.
So, on this blog I will try to be accountable to whoever reads this. I will do my best to post what I eat, how much I am exercising (I will talk about that later) and how this correlates with my pounds lost on the scale. Thank you for reading this. Please check back and help keep me accountable!
