One week down!

Well I survived this week! It's been a pretty good week with the food portion... I haven't cheated once on the diet, but I sure do miss all the food I can't eat! lol My diet is 1,500 calories portioned out 60% carbs 30% protein and 10% fat. I have been using the myfitnesspal app to help track everything, if you have the app you should add me! My user name is princesscookie =)

Now the working out part has been a challenge more for me this week because I took about a month off... It always amazes me how fast you lose your strength and endurance when taking a break!! I felt like I started working out for the first time in my life... All my strength was gone!! Leg day is usually my favorite day... After my first leg workout I couldn't walk normal for 3 days!! I wanted to cut my legs off! lol I'm hoping next week will be better now that I've worked all my muscles out!
I'm glad I have Cristina and Katelynn... It's always easier when you have people going through the same thing you are! They keep me motivated and push me when I don't want to do anymore weight! Those girls are WAY stronger than me! lol And Robert has been a really good trainer for us... Love him!! =)

I weigh myself everyday... Now some of you might say that's obsessive, but it helps me track what kind of foods make me gain weight and I know my progress everyday rather than once a week or month! I'd rather know if what I'm doing is helping me reach my goals right now instead of do something for a month to find out it didn't work... Now the down side of doing this is you see the scale go up and down more than you want and for some people it can be frustrating so I don't recommend to everyone... But for me I want to stay informed of what my body is doing!

Here is something I found that has helped me stay motivated this week!! =)
