A Baby? Maybe...
Welcome to my blog! Mike and I were married on July 22, 2006 in Erie, PA. Although we're not technically considered newlyweds anymore, we still feel like we are! We live in a house we rent from my MIL with our dog, a pap-a-poo mix, Louis (pronounced "Louie") who is our pride and joy. I'm finishing up school full time to get my BA in finance while working full-time in a financial aid office and Mike is currently a technician for a national aerospace corporation. While we lead fairly boring lives, I'll try to spice things up from time to time to make the blog more exciting to read :)

Day #1 of New Diet

Posted Monday, February 18, 2008 4:00 PM

I've recently come to the conclusion that I need to start eating healthier, not to diet really, but just to make myself feel better overall. In reality, I've gained about 20 lbs. since Mike and I first started dating and I'm terribly ashamed by that. I feel like I'm gaining weight like crazy and I can't take it anymore. I'm a self diagnosed junk food addict that could live off french fries and greasy burgers. Aside from that, I'm tired of just feeling fatigued and sick everyday. I know that my busy schedule doesn't leave much time for me to workout so adjusting my diet is my only choice.

I'm very proud of myself so far. I went grocery shopping yesturday and bought a ton of healthy food that I actually like. For breakfast this morning I had some organic low-fat yogurt. For lunch, a small salad and a ham & provolone sandwich. For dinner, I'm planning on a Healthy Choice frozen dinner since it's DH's wing night out with the guys and I don't want to cook for just myself. I'm also starting to take an additional calcium supplement with my prenatal vitamin each night.

I feel so good about myself already! Even though weightloss isn't necessarily my number one goal with this plan, it would still be really nice if I could drop 10 lbs. or so before summer comes. Hopefully, with my new class schedule during the Spring trimester that starts in March, I'll have at least a couple days during the week to start working out as well.

That is just great! I am starting a new "diet" too... but I am also a junk food junkie. Sadly the longer you're married the more the pounds pile on if you're not careful. I am doing the nest "six month shape up" to help get me off the couch. I hope things go well for you. :-) If you need some diet related support, let me know.

That's awesome...and that's not a diet...it's just eating better and healthier.   I'm sure you'll see great benefits from this.  The only downside, I spend way more money every week at the grocery buying healthy stuff - the lean ground beef alone is $4.99 a pound, but I find it completely worth it.  Too bad fruits and veggies aren't cheap either.  But it's so much better, definitely.  I'm more of a sweets addict (ice cream is my best friend ever) over greasy and salty food, so I try a little every day to say no to those kinds of things.

By the way, pollykinz over on BOTB was asking about how you're doing.  I told her you often blog over here so she can still keep up with you.
