Getting there....

I reached my goal for August!!! I am excited, and it is such a relief.

I loved the Jamie Eason diet, but it wasn't realistic for my lifestyle. As long as I am still losing, I will continue to just count calories. I didn't count calories on vacation and came home weighing the same, and the next day dropped two pounds! Yay!

I did learn some very healthy recipes while eating clean! I will continue to eat egg white omelets, and pancakes made from egg whites and oatmeal!! Yum! I also really loved using Almond milk instead of regular milk. I now use it in my coffee, protein shakes, and cereal. The best part, its only 40 calories for 8 oz!!!!

I stopped lifting and I am just running for now. It was just to much on my body! My little man deserves a mommy who isn't exhausted all the time! If I have to chose, I will chose running every time!!!

I have 15 lbs to reach my goal for Christmas. I want to be the same weight at Christmas as I was at my wedding in 2010.

Just to give you an idea of what I am doing, here is a typical day for me for food.

Breakfast:

A Banana
Bowl of cereal
Egg white omelet
or protein shake

Lunch:
A sandwich
or left overs

Supper:
A little bit of anything and everything, tonight I am making a chicken dish I found on pinterest, last night I made roast. I have also made taco soup, grilled pork chops, and had Rosa's fijitas recently.

Snack:
Protein shake or
Banana

As you can see I am not eating the healthiest, but I am working on portion control. Did you know you are full after just one serving if you wait awhile! Crazy, I know! (Dripping in sarcasm!)

Here are my pictures for today. I was shocked when I compared the ones I took at 6 weeks PP compared to these at 9 weeks PP. I feel so chunky, but I look so much better than I did!
