Month 2

December

Through all of December I stayed in the 190s.  I ate a lot during the holidays and I didn't make it to the gym at all.   I would like to add that I haven't started 'dieting' at all yet.  I have just been watching what I eat.  I used to eat out everyday for lunch, I now pack a lunch everyday.  This involved a lot of frozen meals- which I hate, but will have to do until I find an alternative.   

 

January 1st I started another new chapter in my life- the Dave Ramsey program.  This brought about a lot of new changes, I may blog about that later but for now I will just talk about the ones that effected my weight loss. First, we stopped eating out (except for special occasions that are planned events).  I had previously cut out fast food but we were still eating at sit down restaurants 2-3 times a week.  I started meal planning and have a monthly menu that hangs on the fridge.  I shop from this menu and have cut back the amount of junk food we by to almost nothing.   I still get the kids a box of Oreo's or a bag of chips every now and then, but I try to buy the snacks that I do not like so I will not be tempted.  

On January 8th I started back up at the gym and weighed in at 192 pounds.
