We don't have the best news to report as last night we ate a ton of pizza and custard with our friends. But we had to remind ourselves, it doesn't mean we had to just binge on crapfood the rest of the week, we can still try to be better. I know I just need to find the initial motivation. I know it sounds lame, but it is so blasted hot, I can't find it in me to take a lot of time preparing a healthy meal in our hot kitchen. And our budget is tight this month, so we don't have money to go buy all the produce we need until I get paid again next week. But we talked about it and said we can still count our calories and control ourselves with what we eat, even if we don't have all the food we need for fuhrman. So we are setting new ways to achieve our goals, I've signed up for My Fitness Pal online, I just started today, it just logs all my calories and workouts and calculates calorie needs based on how much weight I want to lose. I know this is what I need to do and I want to be healthier. Tanner put it well the other day and just reminded me, it's important that we never stop trying, even if we've failed in the past. Sounds cheesy, but it's so true. Enough excuses, I'm going to have something good to report next week! Thanks for the inspiration!

Another try

Well I thought that I would post today seeing as how it is day number 1 of our six week challenge.  Of course today has been one of those "I'm gonna rock at this diet" kind of days.  And quite honestly it has been a pretty good day.  I stuffed my face full of fruits and veggies and I actually enjoyed it.  Maybe it's because I've attempted Eat to Live several times and have discovered a few things.  1) I have to have a good stock of produce in my fridge. 2) I have to make a menu for the week.  3) I have to have variety of foods and meals.  4) I have to rely on fruit to satisfy my sweet tooth.  5) I can't eat tons of salad every day.    If I do this diet gets old real fast and I always feel like I'm going to throw up.  I know that salad is a huge part of Fuhrman but I  decided I can get raw vegetables in other ways that actually taste good to me.

Anyway...

So I think that we each should report on here each week.  How we are doing, our struggles, our successes, etc.  What do you guys think?  I know I've tried losing weight so many times I can't even count.  But I need to do something.  Even if I've failed at it before.  I need to remember the things that have worked and what hasn't.  And I need to keep the good habits and get rid of the bad ones.  Thanks you guys for doing this challenge with me.  It helps keep me motivated and positive throughout it all.  Have a great week!
