Ok, so I'm bummed right now. I didn't lose any weight this week, in fact I gained .5 lbs. I didn't track at all last week. I know how important it is to keep track of everything you eat while trying to lose weight, and I just proved it to myself once again. As soon as I'm done updating, it's off to track what I had for breakfast.
I also have not yet done my menu plan for the week. Geez, I'm definitely not off to a great start! Last week I tried 2 new recipes~ Tex Mex Pizza and the Hashbrown Casserole. Both of them were delicious. I knew the Hashbrown Casserole would be good, just by the ingredients. The Tex Mex Pizza, I was a little worried about. I used the leftover burrito meat, some salsa, and shredded pepper jack cheese all on a thin crust Pillsbury pizza dough. I put tortilla chips on top for the last 5 minutes in the oven to get them extra crispy! It really turned out well.
Since I am so far behind today, I'm going to stop my rambling, and get to work.

Menu Plan August 8th thru 13th
I weighed myself today and I have lost 1.2 lbs. since last week. I was hoping for closer to 2 lbs. since we were at Rock the Desert Friday and Saturday, but I'm still happy that it's a minus and not a plus! I'm still keeping a food log. I did pretty well at that except during the weekend. This week I'm posting my meal plan for the week.
Monday~ Sandwiches and chips. I know it's not exciting or anything, but I like to have sandwiches for supper once a week. It's a good light meal, especially with the Summer heat.
Tuesday~ Ground Beef and Potato Burritos
Wednesday~Homemade Chicken Nuggets w/not homemade mac n cheese and a steamer veggie mix
Thursday~ Hashbrown Casserole~ this is a new recipe for us to try from Recipe.com magazine. I'll make a steamer veggie for a side
Friday~ Tex~Mex pizza~ also a recipe I haven't tried yet from the Recipe.com magazine.
Saturday~ Chicken Avocado Tostados on the grill~ another recipe from the same magazine.

My Goal!
This is my first post on my new blog, and I'm about to reveal one of the most embarassing things about myself...I'm overweight, in fact, according to my parents Wii Fit, I'm considered obese! Yikes! I hate that word, and I definitely hate admitting that I'm part of the huge percentage of people who are obese. I'm going to be 30 in six months ( Oh, dang! I just admitted two embarassing things about myself in my first post!). I've decided today is the day I'm going to start making some changes. My goal is to lose 30 lbs. by the time I turn 30. That's about 5 lbs. a month.
The plan~ I've dieted more than once, so I'm going to take what I learned and what I know worked for me from those experiences. I'm going to keep a food journal and meal plan. My food journal is going to be kept on the website http://caloriecount.about.com/ . I'm going to try and post my meal plan on this blog. I'm not following any fad diet or anything. I'm just going to eat less. I'm breastfeeding, so it's important for me to still eat enough calories to keep a good milk supply. In the future I would like to add an actual workout routine to my plan, but for now the activity is going to be playing with my 3 year old, the Wii, and Kinect.
I've already weighed myself today. I also plan on taking some measurements. I don't know which one is more painful! I plan on weighing myself at least once a week and taking measurements once a month. I want to reduce my weight, my size, and my bmi. I'm excited and scared at the same time! I just need to stay as motivated as I am today.
Game on!
