Week 2

So I decided I'm going to write weekly updates; it is pretty difficult to update daily when I'm chasing around a 9 month old.  Last week was the first week for me to eat healthy, work out, and track it all.  I always seem to do extremely well until I get to work.  The reason it’s hard for me to eat healthy at work is because of the candy drawer (see IMAGE to the right).  The drawer is filled once a week with all sorts of sugary temptations and it’s located in our treatment room where I spend most of my day.  I only lost one pound last week and I think it’s because I caved in to the lure of the drawer.  I’m determined to be strong tomorrow and NOT open the evil drawer. I do feel good because I’ve been running and took a cycling class this week; however, I’m so ready for this Texas heat to cool down so I can enjoy my workouts outside.

FOOD TIP: My new discovery this week and currently my favorite bite to eat is Trader Joe’s tofu burgers.  They’re so yummy and healthy!  Don’t let tofu scare you….normally I’m not a fan of its taste, but these are worth savoring.   

My daughter and I are enjoying our power walks to the park in the mornings.  My next purchase will be a jogging stroller, so I can hit the trails and step up my workouts.

I will weigh myself every Sunday and will share my weight and my advice on meals and activities every week.  Until next time ladies….stay strong!
