Loving spending time with my family

Today I am back on track after eating 1700 calories on Thursday and an unknown amount on Friday.  It is so important to write everything down to be held accountable.  I am determined to win the battle of the bulge once and for all. 

OK so today my daughter spent 4 hours at the hair salon.  I spent 2 of them with her.  The thing that kills me is I should have and could have gone to the gym which is attached to the salon.  Instead I chose to do nothing.  I do start exercising tomorrow as it is so critical to this weight loss.  Tonight we watched Monster's University as a family.  While the movie wasn't great, the company was fabulous.  I noticed my baby boy is starting to slim down as well which is so important and the reason I am making this lifestyle change.  While I may have only lost a few pounds today, I had someone I haven' seen for a while tell me I looked thinner.  Also, I am starting to feel like my clothes fit me better. 

I am going to start Dr. Oz's 3 Day cleansing most likely Monday as I need to purchase all the items I need.  I will be hungry and grumpy I'm sure but at least it will kick this weight loss in gear.  1200 calories is working slowly but I would love to see some numbers drop.  My first goal is 17 lbs.  Once I reach that goal, I will take it 5 pounds at a time.

Thanks to all of you who continue to walk this journey with me.

As I now see, I ate way too many calories again.  I need to really plan ahead of time or this is what happens.  Good News is most of these calories came from good foods and not candy or sugar snacks.
