Good nutrition and tracking what you eat...REALLY does pay off!

I woke up this morning knowing that today was my "official" weigh in day. UGH...I LOATHE the scale...I mean really LOATHE it.

I was lying in bed when I hear my husband yelling at me from the bathroom that he has lost even more weight. I do have to brag on him a bit...he looks GREAT! He has lost a significant amount of weight since starting his career with Southwest Airlines. He works outside on the ramp and is constantly moving and loading and unloading bags from airplanes. I think he is actually thinner than he was when we first started dating! :-)
All bragging aside for a bit..... Don't you just hate how men can lose weight without even trying or changing their diet? I mean come on!!! If I even look at a piece of pizza or a slice of cake I gain 10lbs.
 However, this week I have been really good with keeping track of my eating and I did workout twice this week...( didn't make it to Thursday nights class) so I hopped on the scale this morning not really thinking that I would see a change but low and behold I did! I even got off and on the scale 3 different times and all 3 times the same results! I am down.....................................................................................................................................
a whole 9lbs!! YES, that is correct!! I lost 9lbs in a week! I ate really good 4 out of the 7 days and 2 of the days I went over my calories but not by much. I guess working out along side of eating right really does help boost your metabolism! I'm thrilled and this is just the motivation I needed to keep going. I know this is going to be a long process but it will be well worth it once I reach MY finish line!

To all those struggling...YOU GOT THIS!!!

Till next time

Be Blessed,
April
