I just have to start by saying... 
I am beyond proud of myself, in my first week I have accomplished going to the gym five days! I have overcome feeling like I am going to pass out and pushed through to make it on the treadmill for 35 mins at a level 8 incline and 3.5 speed also the elliptical which if you read my earlier blog you will know that the last time I attempted that I threw up and almost had a brush with a heart attack (at least according to my mom LOL)
Friday was a tough day for me, actually just a tough night. I had a wedding reception at a Mexican restaurant that I attended. I kind of went off track there and had a few beers however I did pretty well with the food aspect since It was a buffet I was able to control my portions and I also made it to the gym Friday morning so I think that is why I felt okay with splurging a bit.
Saturday was a even tougher day, my husband and son and I went to a restaurant, I got a veggie omlet and ice tea so that was all fine and dandy but than my brother stopped by and we ate In-N-Out with him (I get veggie burgers since I dont eat red meat but the fries where a major issue, can you say animal style lol) and after that I ended up drinking way to many cocktails with 7 up so that was carbo overload!
Sunday was okay but not great, I ate a 7 layer burrito from Taco Bell however I did manage to finally drag my fat butt out to the gym which was a big accomplishment considering I was madly hangover from the night before LoL and considering that Sunday was not a planned cardio day for me I felt pretty satisfied with myself until my brother stopped by for dinner and you know we had to order Pizza Hut! I did okay for the situation, I ate only one piece of pineapple and cheese pizza and two honey bbq wings. The only reason I was upset with myself in this situation is because it was 8pm when I ate...
Ahh and finally its Monday again-
Going on week two of this journey and I am pumped and ready to go, I am not foreseeing any diet crushing ice burgs in my near future, my sons birthday party is on Saturday so that Is a little scary but I am going to be running around taking pictures everywhere so hopefully I will not have time to think about stuffing my face with cake or pizza lol!
Well thanks for reading, weigh In is tomorrow plus I am going to take my measurements *Gulp* I am hoping for at least 2 pounds down but we shall see...

So this morning I actually drug myself out of bed at 5:00am and made my way to the gym. I have really been trying to get myself into the habit of doing this every am Monday-Friday because it is what works best with my schedule and I dont have to take time away from my family.
