I finally hit a goal!
My goal was to lose 2lbs last week and I did it! A total of 19lbs so far! I didn't think I was going to make it because towards the end of the week I had pizza and went to Olive Garden on Saturday. But, I didn't over stuff myself on either of them. I started my goal in November as a certain amount to lose by July for our vacation we usually take. It just seemed too far away and I wasn't very motivated so I have changed it here and there. I have finally just decided to make my goal to lose 2 lbs a week. Hopefully, this will make me stick to it better and actually reach the goal each week. I know sometimes I may not but as long as I don't gain any I think that would be wonderful!

Although, I haven't started this week out so well. I just got too lazy yesterday and didn't make it to the gym. Then went to dinner with my in laws to celebrate the start of them building their first home together. I did decent and didn't over stuff my self that day either but it still wasn't all that good for me. I'm not necessarily on any "diet" but just trying to eat healthier. I have started eating at least 2-3 fruits and veggies a day. I also drink lots of water, maybe have a diet pepsi once a week. I take my lunch everyday, a sandwich and some kind of fruit or veggie. I have also cut way back on my chocolate and sweets. I have been craving chocolate so much this weekend though. I broke down and made some chocolate chip cookies today. ugh! They are soo good though. And I don't eat as many at a time that I used to would have. I wish I could make those cravings go away but I have a hard time with it. Most people say wait 15-20 mins and you'll forget about it but it just doesn't work for me. The longer I wait the more I want and more I'll eat. Oh well, just another challenge to overcome.

Have a great week!
