April's Diet Blog

I gained 2 pounds over thanksgiving, which isn’t that bad, considering a ate a whole pumpkin pie by myself. The menu I posted this week is very lean on sugar and carbs, so we’ll see how it goes. It is my goal to lose 1.5 pounds each week before New Year’s but I don’t think this week is going to be a good start. I missed Zumba on Tuesday & we’ve only eaten junk. Things are incredibly busy right now & the busier I am the more I eat. I will be starting the menu below on Monday, so even if this week is bad, hopefully next week will make up for it! Good luck!!

Last week was not a good week. Trevor & I were both sick & in my haze of sickness, I never did get the blog updated. I had lost 1.8 pounds last week. I am trying really hard this week in anticipation of next week’s Thanksgiving splurge. I think I am going to have to do extra Zumba.

I did get lucky this week and found the Good Life Ezekial 4:9 bread at a local store. I’ve had to go to Lexington to get it before, so that was an added bonus. If you haven’t tried the bread, you should. It’s got a little different taste at first, but it quickly grows on you.

This week was my son’s 5th birthday. It feels like we’ve celebrated 10 times and I’ve eaten cake & ice cream every rime. It is not going to be a good weigh in.

I lost 4.6 pounds this week. Another good week, so I’m officially on a roll. We have two massive bowls of Halloween candy and my husband refuses to let me take it to work. I’m sure I will have a gain this week. I work with Liz Ison and she does the food pantry for her church. I didn’t know if it would be a good thing to take candy to a food pantry & she assured me it is OK because the kids come with the parents sometime to get food and the candy can be a little treat that they may not otherwise get. So if you need to get rid all of that Halloween candy, then bring it to our office and Liz can use it in her food pantry. Good luck to all this week!!
