So today I am going to but in extra effort to do something. For breakfast I had my left over turkey loaf with the left over veggies.

Day 64 Weigh in number 9

So here it goes this last week I lost 1.6 pounds. That is bringing my total up to 19.8 pounds in 9 weeks I think that is pretty good I really wanted to hit the 20 pound mark but I came really close so I going to pass it next week not only am I going to pass it I am going to aim to hit that 210 mark so I am 212.2 right know so just over 2 pounds next week and I am aiming to hit under 200 by the end of the month I got alot of hard work ahead of me but I set myself a goal that I want to reach really bad I haven't been under 200 since being pregnant with Jerrica.  So almost 4 years tried and failed many diets but I am determined to make it work this time. I have many things coming up this year that I want to look good for in the summer so lots of work coming up. So my exercise today was me lying on the floor and lifting my oldest with my legs into the air and bring her down than back up than she would flip over and I used my arms to hold her up and help her flip over me I did this for a good 10 min my legs were burning when I was done. They love it when I do this to them and its a great leg workout.

Day 63

Been craving cake today and good pastries it doesn't help that I have been watching The Next Great Baker. I really want to just go and bake some yummy cakes and just eat them. Haha anyways today was great I was so good that I was finding things to eat because I was 400 calories shy of my allowed amount for the day so I had a couple of rice crispy treats. They tasted great and I enjoyed it.  While I was making breakfast I cut my finger and while I was dealing with my finger burnt some of my food. So I had to rethink what I was going to eat. I turned out ok. Did 10 min of zumba today not much but it was something. Loved my lunch today and dinner I had so much food on my plate I love finding more way of having more food for less calories and I think that I am doing awsome.

Day 62

So today was an awesome day had huge meals that were really low in calories. For lunch I wanted fruit but could not decide which one I wanted so I mad a fruit salad which contained 1 c strawberries, 1 banana, 1 apple, 1c honeydew melon, 1 c watermelon, with a squirt of lemon juice. It was a whole lot of fruit. I ate it all through out the day. It was split into 4 servings and each on was 81 calories. Yum loved it, it contained my sweet tooth for the day. Low cal and low fat and sweet it was amazing. So I didn't go out today yeah I am determined not to it costs too much money and when you think about it, it can cost anywhere from 25-40 dollars depending on what you get and that is nearly almost half of what I account for, for grocery's for the week isn't that sad. So today I was not feeling to great my kids got up at 4:30 this morning. I am trying to get some excersing done but ive been chasing kids around all day and really not feeling great so I am going to be honest and say I am not doing it tonight and going to do it first thing tomorrow morning and I will do it because I am honest about what I post on my blog.

Day 61

 Ok sorry that it was a day late again. Yesturday was a good day better than friday and saturday. Because of the snow I stayed home with my family. I was going to make a grilled cheese sandwich for my kids but realized that I only had enough to make lunch for the week. I had nothing defrosted so I grabbed the kids some DQ and I made myself a salad it was a chicken salad. It was good and I added some Sweet Chili Thai sauce. Also I did buy a cheeseburger for myself and hey I still didn't go over my calories for the day. So I failed one day and went to buy food, but understanding the reason was ok well not going to do it anymore.

Day 60

Today was a total nightmare weekends are my worst. Went to the movies had some popcorn then it was to Burger King for dinner had a great afternoon with my sister in law and my kids. So as much as it was bad I had a great day having fun. So not feeling to bad. So here it is March is stop eating out month I am going to work on that and I will tell  you everyday if I did or not and I am working on the not. At burger king I had a Tender grill BLT salad but I also tried there sweet potato fries. I love them but I looked at the calories and for a medium serving 390 Calories it is bad but tried them they were good so I don't need to wonder if they are any good or not. I know I have been having a hard time this little while but I need to keep pushing and hope that it will get better. So to recap March goals, no eating out, going to hit that 200 pound mark only 13.8 more pounds to go, and to work on my exercise. So today not going to say what I ate but like I said it wasn't the best day probably one of my worst. But tomorrow is a new day and Sundays always are better than Saturday. Saturday and Friday seem to be the worst days.

Day 59

To be honest I am not feeling like doing any exercise today. I didn't really sleep last night and was out all morning doing grocery shopping so I was walking around for about 2 hrs with little driving in between. Maybe a little later I will do some zumba I can't do one day and none the next day that's not working on it that's just being lazy. Which right now I care about. I want to  work through it and work on it and improve. So for dinner I made a Stuffed Flank Steak I screwed up making it. It wasn't all the way thawed so I put it into the microwave to defrost it. Don't recommend it. After cooking it was dry and didn't taste very good because defrosting it let all the juices out. I will retry and will tell you how that one turned out. I will also give you the recipe when I try it again. So I was a little over today after dinner I got the munchies and had some toast with peanut butter and banana's on it. Feel bad about this good all week and one bad day. I am lot letting this affect the rest of my day. So because of the snack I will definitely doing some zumba its only 20 min so lot too long.
