Back from Break-Lynn

I'm so glad to get back on track. The week break from blogging about it gave me some time to think and organize my weight loss plan. I made a list of things to eat for the week and went grocery shopping. My husband had today off so it threw my week off a little bit. Tomorrow feels like my Monday now, so that's the day I'm going to start writing down every.single.thing. that I put in my mouth. I have several fun exercise dvds including Carmen Electra's strip dancing dvds and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders workout dvds. I plan to do those 3 evenings a week. Here's my loose diet plan for this week.

Breakfast: 2 high fiber waffles with low fat syrup and 2 slices of bacon -or-low fat oatmeal
2-3 snacks per day picking from the following options: jello, fruit, raw veggies, low fat wheat crackers with hummus, skinny cow ice cream sandwhich, pickles, brussle sprouts with cheese, triscuits, low fat popcorn, or no sugar added applesauce
Lunch and Dinner will be choosen from: sandwhich (turkey, tuna, or ham on wheat bread with lettuce, tomatoe and pickles) low fat progresso soup, smart one meal, low fat hot dog on wheat bun, or salad.

I tried to give myself plenty of options without being overwhelmed. Sometimes, I will munch on a snack while trying to decide what to eat. I also bought some diet green tea and crystal light and plan to be drinking throughout the day. I'm not going to cut out my morning coffee or diet soda yet. but, I'm going to try and drink water, crystal light, or green tea as much as possible. Sometimes diet soda really helps curb my appeitite, so it helps when I first start trying to eat better because it seems like I'm always hungry.

I'm excited to have such a specific plan in place. I think I can meet my final weight loss goal by this time next year if I stick to it and don't get off track. That's really motivating to me. Also, my sister losing 4lbs last week when we were taking a break is also the kick in my butt that I need to get it in gear.
