Diet

I'm getting chubby. It's a sad, sad fact.

I've known it for a while, but ever since the nurse said,
"Oh, you carry your weight well,"
when she was checking me in for my appointment, I can't get it out of my mind.

This picture is from about a month ago.

First (note to self): curly hair not my thing.
Second: Chubby.

I don't want any more pics like this in our family album.

The picture below is of me weigh 20 lbs lighter (notice how young Cayden is in the background?).

I want this. I am doing it!
I'm letting this out into the blogging world only because I need to be held accountable. If people know I'm dieting, hopefully I'll stick with it. AND, I need recipes. High protein, low fat, low carb. If you have any yummy ones, send them my way. Thanks and wish me luck!

Ok well I have been feeling the same way. I have always been able to just eat what ever and how ever much I wanted.... then I hit into my late 30's and all of that changed.... so I am also trying to be good (VERY HARD ) and have found some recipes I will give them to you.... good luck to both of us :)

I think you look great! And you are one of the most motivated people I know, so whatever you want, you will achieve!

Being in your 30's is definately more of a challenge to stay in shape. I HAVE to exercise and eat right or 1 little cookie sticks to my butt! Just a few things that help me are limiting sugar as much as possible, stick to a small amount with breads, and very little butter and oil. I have found a lot of good substitutes when I'm cooking! Just for the record you look great!
