Results!

I'm so excited to say that I am finally seeing results!  I weighed myself this morning and I was down to 146!!  Wohoo!  I'm trying not to think about how quickly (or slowly) I lose the weight.  Also, I decided that weekends are not for calorie counting.  I didn't go crazy and I didn't break my candy or soda rules (I did have some delicious cheesefries though!).  I tried to eat everything in moderation.  I even split my cheesesteak with the girls:)
So for now I'm not doing anything different.  I'll keep counting calories, focusing on my nutrition and running three or four times a week!
New picture coming soon!

Calorie Counting

Well, I decided to start trying to count calories.  I had a book, "Counting Calories for Dummies" that I had bought for our family gift exchange last summer and then took back from whoever got it;)  According to this book to lose 1 lb a week I need to eat 1600 calories.  Today is the first day I think I am going to pull it off.  I also ran 3 miles four times this week so I should be burning extra calories and maybe will lose weight a little quicker!  (please, please, please!)
I'm still hovering right around 150.  My scale is really not very accurate but I'm not willing to hop on the wii scale until I am sure it will say I am under 150lbs.  So hopefully by the end of the month I will be down around 145. 
We'll see!

Off to eat 640 calories!!!!
