Weight and a YUMMY green smoothie

So my fiance finally bought me a scale.

I want/need to get re-focused and a scale helps me a ton.

I don't like the one at the gym because it is out in the open.

My weigh in was................ 177lbs.

Now I started at 202 in March. I fell off the wagon around June and haven't worked out up until last week, so I'd say I am pretty happy that I kept the weight off!

My goal is around 135 by October 2012.

NOW on to this yummy healthy green smoothie I found,

I totally have no idea what blog I was reading when I wrote this down,

so I can't give credit, BUT I can say it wasn't mine :)

Ingredients:

1 banana

1 cup frozen mixed fruit

1-2 cups of spinach

1 cup water

Ice

Hope you enjoy!

Weightloss Update!

So just a little update :)

My "weigh-in" is on Tuesday. I chose that to be my weigh in

because I go to the doctors that day and can use their scale. haha!

Last time I was at the doctors, about two months ago, I weighed 197lbs.

I sneaked in an unofficial weight check on May 5th and weighed 187lbs.

I have lost 9.74 inches total since May 5th, 2011.

(1.74in since May 25th, 2011)

My weekly workouts will be posted tomorrow.

I have a BUSY week ahead of me, so planning is taking a little longer!

I found this photo that I admire so much!

This is how I feel after I finish my workout everyday!

Looking for More Fiber?

The American Dietetic Association (ADA) suggest we should consume 20-35 grams / day!

Fiber helps with weightloss!

Here are a few food choices you could incorporate into your healthy eating for some more fiber!

1 cup Rasberries = 6.4 grams

1 Apple = 5 grams

1 cup Cooked black beans = 13.9 grams

1 Avocado = 11.8 grams

1 cup Cooked Kale (yum) = 7.2 grams

Enjoy!

Amazing News!

So I have some AMAZING news!

Which I will get to at the END of my post :)

Well, Happy Mother's Day! (Like I said on Facebook, to the good Mother's who raised their children with respect, responsibility and manners)

I mean come on, not EVERY mother is a good one.

My mom decided that this year she spend it with her daughters shopping!

It was a good time! We went to Sear's, Kohl's and the Dollar Tree!

She only found one shirt, my sister got her prom shoes AND we got Subway!!

That's Marissa and my Mom <3

So, my food logging has been going great! My Fitness Pal is so easy! I've actually been WAY under my calorie intake since Thursday, so I need to work on that!

Today, I went a tad over, so I am fine with that. It's a learn as you go process :)

Anyhow..MY GOOD NEWS!

03/12/2011 - 202LBS

I am hoping to be at least 180 by my Dr.'s appointment on June 7th!

WISH ME LUCK!

I have lost 15lbs since I quit my job on March 12!

I am seriously so excited to continue on my journey.

I know it will eventually get harder to drop the weight, BUT I am determined and will be enlisting in the National Guard in NO TIME!!!!

Have a great weekend!
