DAY 11

Sundays are usually my "cheat" days, but I actually did really well on this day.

Eating:

turkey bacon
bread with peanut butter
cheese
apple slices
broccoli with cheese
orange
granola bar
almonds
cheerios without milk
carrots with spinach dip
cherry tomatoes with hummus

I almost broke down and had fruit snacks, but I talked myself out of it.  I'm noticing lately that I'm not getting enough protein.  I may start adding some tofu along with more nuts to my diet.

Just for fun, I checked my weight on this day and I am officially down to 163.  That means I've lost about 4-5 pounds in the last 12 days which I'm pretty pleased with.  It is so much easier to keep going when my scale shows measurable progress.  Every night I remind myself that my family pictures are coming up soon and I don't have as much time as I would like to get off the 20 pounds that I'm trying to get rid of.  It is extremely important that I eat healthy and exercise EVERY DAY and not just when I feel like it.  Now that my husband is back from his trip I can get back to my regular exercise routine.
