Our new life

So basically...yes so far I have embarrassed myself with my earlier posts saying that I was going to post everyday and not loosing any weight. But I would like to defend myslef and say that it has been a lot harder for me this time around then it used to be. I used to be able to loose weight really easily by doing what I was doing, and I have discovered that this time I am going to have to work much harder.

We have been in our new home for three weeks and are loving every second of it. The moving process was one thing that was not good on my diet. A lot of eating out and a lot of times that I wanted to work out but didnt have the tme. However, now that we are moved in I am trying as hard as I can to get back on track. I have been eating very good and trackng it through myfitnesspal.com which has helped a lot. At first I started walking for an hour every day and I take a Zumba class every Tuesday and Thursday. But the problem with my eating the first couple of weeks were all of the "welcome to the neighborhood" treats. And no matter how good my meals were my snack were not good. And I finally broke down and threw them away so I wouldn't be tempted to eat them anymore.

Before I got pregnant I was running and doing really good. But being pregnant and on bed rest for nine months I completly lost everything that I had buit up. So I have been trying to get back into the swing of running. And I have to say that today was the best walk/run I have been on in a long time. It felt so good to run until I cannot go any further. And it felt so good that I want to do it everyday. So yes I havent accomplished as much as I had hoped I would by now as far as weight loss, but a lot of good things have happened in my life and I am finally staring to FEEL better and that is completly worth it. Now on to LOOKING better!!

Dinner anyone...?


I just have to brag because the dinner I made tonight was super yummy, and helathy!! It was a whole grain pasta with ground turkey, chopped onions, and this philidelphi cream cheese flavor stuff...I will have to look at what its called but it was the italan cheese and herbs flavor and it was so good!! I'm not quite sure how my husband felt about it. He said he liked it...but his remarks before we stared eating were, "So...are we going to be eating healthy no?" But Its not my fault that he can eat whatever he wants and still be a twig and I actualy have to be careful about what I eat.
I also made this easter cake today too. The recipie picture looks much better then mine but I think that happens a lot. And if the beater dont fail me it is going to be very yummy. I changed a couple things to make this cake healthier. I used egg whites instead of the whole egg, and apple sauce insted of vegetabe oil. Instead of store bought frosting I made this frosting I found on pinterest where you mix vanilla pudding(I used sugar free) and whipped cream togeter. Its a win win with the frosting cuz its not so fattnig and my husband mught actually try it because he doesnt like forsting...I know weirdo right!! Who doesnt like frosting?The inside of this cake has the same colors as the frosting. I will have to report the verdict Sunday.
