Seeing a little progress!

On Saturday, I started the Flat Belly Diet!  I completed all of two of the four days on the jumpstart portion of the diet.  I've already quit.  Am I disappointed?  Not one bit!  The reason being is I didn't throw in the towel and start eating bad again.  And that my friends, is what we call progress! 

I don't really have any complaints on the diet itself.  The only thing that I did not like was the Sassy Water.  They may as well call it cucumber water because that's what it tasted like.  I love cucumbers and I love water...but I don't like my water tasting like cucumbers.  I found myself not drinking enough during the day, so I just switched to regular water.  The diet is very doable, but with my hectic schedule (working outside the home, 4 kids, laundry for 6 people) it was just too much.  I would rather just plan out simple easy healthy meals and not stress it! 

I have continued counting my calories and logging those into My Fitness Pal.  I'm doing pretty good if I do say so myself.  So good, in fact, that I've lost 2 pounds in five days!!  Woohoo!

On Saturday 1/1/11 I weighed in at 144.6
This morning 1/5/11 I weighed in at 142.6

I'm sure it is water weight, but that wonderful time of the month (TOM) is here too.  I figure that sort of balances each other out.  Ha!  Either way...I'm proud of those two pounds GONE!  I really haven't exercised like I should have, but this afternoon I AM doing the Turbo Jam Learn & Burn.  Kids started back to school today, so my routine needs to get back with it.  Once I get kids snacks and started on their homework, I'm to get in my 20 minutes of workout!  I can't wait!
