So I never got around to taking that picture. I still plan on doing it, but I just haven't had time. The first week back at school after an extended break is soo hectic. I have been so tired all week and just couldn't summon the energy to round up Gary and Alissa to try to take the picture. But I will get it posted.
Well, for the good news. I have successfully managed to make it 5 days on my healthy eating plan. Wednesday was super duper hard for me. I'm not sure why, but every time I try to break a habit the third day is a killer. I felt so hungry all day long no matter what I ate. And I did eat. I am not one of those girls that can starve themselves to death. I need food. I just need to make healthy choices with my food. I am maintianing between 1300 and 1600 calories a day, but I'm not really counting calories. I am keeping track of what I am eating and that seems to be the range that I eat in everyday.
I also found this wonderful support web site called Buddy Slim. It has a forum where you can take part in challenges and you can meet people and become buddies to support each other. It also makes daily blogging a breeze, although I haven't started blogging yet. But my favorite part about it is the food and exercise journals. Holding myself accountable for what I eat has never been easier. If you would like to check it out, you can Join me on BuddySlim!. If you click the link and join, you will automatically become one of my buddies and we can encourage each other!
Now for the bad news. Well, its not really bad, but it is a bit depressing for me. As I said in my last post, this is a whole family effort. Gary is also eating low-fat/healthy although he is a little more lenient on the low-fat part and does more counting calories than trying for low-fat. He doesn't exercise at all. And as of today he has lost 12 lbs. That is 12 lbs. in five days folks!!! And as proud of him as I am, I can't help but be a little depressed. I do not expect weight to just melt off of me. It didn't get there overnight and it will not take more than a week to get it off. However, after his revelation this evening I decided to go ahead and weigh myself just to see. I don't think the needle has even moved!! But that's okay! It just gives me more motivation. I can't let him get healthy and sexy before I do!
