Hello everyone. I am very excited about starting at curves. I am feeling tons better and waking up with energy. Yeah! Our food we buy is more natural. We as a family are trying very hard to stay away from pre-processed foods. Sometimes we slip and have hot dog night. But that is ok. Mostly we are eating more veg and more natural food. I am working on recipes for things like salad dressing, bbq sauce, stir fry sauce and those types of items so we get the food we love but better for us. Any one have recipes to share? Would love more ideas. Have a great week everyone! I have lost 1 pound and 2 inches. Yeah!

It has been a very long time since I have been here to post. So much has happened. I have lost weight since my last post. I also have a daughter now. Just as I decided to start my weight loss journey I found out I was pregnant. I watched my food intake and managed to lose 20 pounds. So I am now working on continuing the weight loss and eating healthy. I have also joined curves. So I will update everyone who wants to know about my journey. I am an emotional eater at times, so if some of my posts sound frustrated it is because I am trying to not eat what I feel. Any help would be welcomed. thank you all in advance for help and understanding.

Where have I been?

Hello everyone. Sorry it has been so long since my last post. It is quite silly. I forgot my password and have been struggling to remember so I could get back on. Things are going well for me. I did have a medical concern to deal with so my weight is not where I want it. I am on a plateau. That is ok. I will work through this. I am drinking ice tea now and water. I have also started looking at my portions. The totally awesome thing is my 9 year old is asking all kinds of healthy food questions and has stated he wants to eat healthy and checking with me about healthy food. That is so great!! This week for dinner we are doing a lot of sandwich or salad because of the heat. So any interesting recipes would be great to keep it interesting. We also have a garden so we will be harvesting some great vegies. The boys are excited. I will be back soon. Shannon

Hello everyone. This last week has been one of portion control and keeping up the water and not so much soda. I have been working on having one plate of food at dinner and making healthier food choices for dinner. If I cook a pasta dish I will have less of the pasta and more of the meat. I am going to change to whole wheat pasta next. Shannon

My last week

Hello everyone. I had a good week last week. I have done two things. The first was to cut back on caffeine. I am down to 3 cups of coffee a day instead of a whole pot. I also have cut way back on soda, diet or regular. Instead of two or more a day I have maybe had one diet this week. I have added more water as well. Last I checked I was down 2 pounds. I hope all of you are doing well. My exercise is a lot of walking right now.
