Monday Weigh –In

I’m feeling pretty proud to report that I lost 3 pounds! Hooray (doing the happy dance). I can’t lie I did eat Easter dinner with the rest of my family; I just kept my portions in check. Now that was harrrrrrrrd to do, my Auntie Linda makes the bomb mac and cheese and only getting a lil bit of it made me depressed. I had to keep telling myself to stay away from the kitchen. OH and I ate 2 cupcakes this weekend too! I’m about to start my cycle and during that time of the month bayyyyyyyybe I gots to have me some chocolate and lots of sugar. This time I gotta watch it because it can throw me off my game and cause me to remain stagnant. Also must watch my sodium intake while I’m cycling… I will retain water like pool if I don’t. So no more cupcakes this week…..please…pray for a sista!!


Well I’m not the only person that lost weight meet my partner in fight the pounds…Cousin Brittney. Isn’t sooo cute! Brittany lost two pounds…she ate cupcakes too! But all in all we did good. Our trainer took three days off so we made a decision to workout anyway. So Saturday and Easter Sunday before dinner we hit the track and did jump-in-jacks and walked about 1.5 miles. I’m not gonna beat myself up and say. “You could’ve lost more if you did not eat those darn cupcakes.” While that may be true I am happy that I was active and showed some signs of improvement in the moderation department. Trust and believe about a month ago I would’ve ate more like 4-5 cupcakes.











Here is what I ate today

Breakfast

1/2c. Cottage Cheese with blackberries:

2 slices of Sarah Lee 45 calorie whole wheat bread:

2.5tsp of I can’t believe it’s not butter
