Wednesday Weigh In

It's only been 3 days since the start of our competition and I'm going to admit that it is VERY challenging!  My goal is to count all my calories this week and I've found myself struggling to plug in those high calorie foods because I hate to see what it looks like on paper.  It's funny how easy it is to stuff our face with something and not pay attention to the nutritional value of it.  For example, the past two hours I've had a mental struggle to NOT eat a bowl of Lucky Charms.  One cup is 150 calories, which let's face it, there is a 2 cup minimum when eating cereal. 

I have managed to work out three times this week and I have my gym bag packed for tomorrow morning too.  Thanks to my $40 jogging stroller I bought on craigslist, I'm able to take Vivien on my runs jogs.  She seems to enjoy the outdoors.  It was a bit windy on our latest run but she didn't seem to mind her bubble.

She was just as exhausted as I was after our jog.



I realized I didn't put my weight in last week's pre-compeition photos, but it was 153.  I'm going to wait until next week to post my measurements because I doubt it's really changed with only three workouts (unless your trainers are Bob & Jillian).  But without further adieu....
