Salads, salads, everywhere!

Hello blog! I'm writing later than usual today. I spent the morning shopping and having lunch with my mom. We had a lovely time together. She bought me a new bathing suit cover up which is really cute and it will come in handy this summer. She kept trying to buy me clothing, and I kept telling her that I was planning on losing a lot of weight and that I would just have to return the clothing anyway, or not wear it again. I bought a super cute size 14 bathing suit last month, and at my current rate of weight loss it won't fit me for long, so I'll probably have to return it. I didn't want to make that mistake twice. The cover up however is already in a size small, and it's really loose and forgiving, so I should be fine with this.

For lunch we went to a salad and soup buffet place. I got a huge salad with all the low carb toppings and blue cheese dressing. I did get a small bowl of chicken tortilla soup, sans tortilla, and I just picked out the corn and potatoes. It was good, but now it's not even dinnertime and I am hungry!! Good thing dinner will be in an hour. Leftovers for us tonight since I've been gone all day.

P90X 3 last night was a major arm workout. Push ups, pull ups, and weights oh my! My arms are toasty today. I mean really toasty! We took new pictures last night and just from the P90X 3 I can see that my stomach is getting flatter (yay) and my husband is building up a lot of good upper body muscles (yay!). We'll see even better results the next time we take pictures.

Except for my extreme sadness over not eating desserts, I feel like this lifestyle change is doable. I know that the hungry feeling will stop when my body completely adjusts. (Any day now body!) I have some books coming from the library regarding a low carb lifestyle that I am going to read. I watched the documentary Fathead on Youtube and it was very interesting and eye opening for me. Check it out blog readers. =)

My weight is still going down, which makes me happy and keeps me on the right track, choosing the low carb foods, and passing on the yummies I'm used to. Tonight I made cake batter rice krispy treats for my daughters girl scout troop, and I didn't eat a single one. Willpower baby!!

Have a good night !
