Still Doing My Thing

I really need to do better at remembering to update my blog!  It has been almost 3 weeks since my last post!  As of last tuesday I had lost another .4 for a total of 9.6 lb down.  I am really looking forward to hitting that 10 lb mark and getting another star.  I weigh in tomorrow and am praying that I lose that last .4 to make the 10.

I have been super bloaty and I'm sure it is salt.  I'm doing my best to cut down the amount of salt I take in.  I have been sticking to fruits and veggies for snacks, and really I haven't wanted any of that processed junk.  The hard part is trying to get in healthy dinners on a tight budget with a family who is super picky.  I've been trying out some new recipes I found on Pinterest but am getting mixed reviews.  Usually the kids are fine with whatever I cook, but my husband seems to hate everything.  He needs to lose some weight himself and he says so regularly, but he is not willing to change his eating.  He has gained 40 lb in the last year!

I have discovered some yummy new snacks and I will share them in a new post later.

I have made a decision to try to cut out all soda.  I have been allowing myself 1 bottle of diet coke a day to help myself wake up in the mornings.  I want to try to cut that out.  I also need to start an exercise plan.  I have to stop talking and thinking about it and just DO it!  I hate that it is so hot out because I love to walk, but with the 100+ temps lately, its just not happening.  I have looked for a gym near the new house, but there is nothing in my price range.  I refuse to pay $40+ a month, each, when I used to only pay $10 for both of us together.

I have noticed a lot of "buts" in this post.  I will be working on that.  No more "buts"!!!!!
