Friday/Game Plan/Progress Pics!!!!

So it is Friday.....This week has been good and bad.  I have had a couple little slips but stayed in my calorie range.  Just ate some foods I was telling myself to avoid.  I weighed today and was up 1 pound from yesterday but it is that time of the month coming up so I am trying to just keep an open mind and not think about the number on the scale to much at this point.

So my new plan is going to be

• Outline my goals for the week and weigh on Fridays!! 
• I am still going to stick to this day because I haven't given it a good shot and I know Mondays weren't working for me.
• I will track my food!!!!  Every single bite that goes in my mouth
• I will plan my cheat meals if I have them
• I will keep my calorie goal at around 1200.  If I feel the need for more food, I will incorporate a healthy snack....Nutella and Peanut Butter don't count!!!!
• I am going to start taking progress pictures......this scares the shit out of me as I have avoided pictures for my whole adult life.  But I think this will make me more accountable.

A little side note, my husband got a wake up call health wise and decided to change his lifestyle as well.  I am so excited as it is always fun to have a buddy and I worry about him. He has around 30-40 pounds he wants to lose.  I am not tying my program to his cause that has failed in the past.  He usually gives up around day 3, and then I throw in the towel too.  I am so excited for our new life together if we both reach goal.  If he doesn't oh well, I will still love him anyway, but it is exciting.

So it is Friday so here are my goals and my plan for the week!

Workout:
Fri: Cardio/Butt
Sat: Cardio/Mamma Laughlin Arms
Sun: Off (at a track meet with my daughter!!!)
Mon: JW Workout/Cardio
Tues: JM Shred
Wed: JW Workout/Cardio
Thur: Cardio

Eating:
Stick to 1200 calories, if super hungry add in a couple more healthy snacks up to 1400 cal
I am going to a concert on Thur with my husband that is my allotted cheat day!!!  Plan for this accordingly.....I am going back and forth with what to do.  It is the day before I weigh and if I drink anything I will not get an accurate weigh in.  Still deciding on this, but if I do cheat only cheat at one meal, dinner....and only drink wine.  Also drink lots of water......

Trying to keep the eating goals simple, I just need a few consistent weeks here.

So here it goes......uggggh.  Here is a picture of me honestly not even at my heaviest.  Yikes.  My friend posted this on facebook and I IMMEDIATLY untagged myself....seriously what the hell was she thinking!  This was in August of 2011, probably close to the heaviest I was

I am the one on the right, with the really great tan lines......Yuck!

And here are some from this morning

             
So I know I am smaller than I was....thank the lord.  But my goal is to lose 50 pounds.  That is like my ultimate dream goal...still really not sure if I can get there but here is hoping.  If I had to guess I think there is around a 20-30 pound difference between the two pictures.
