Trying to get Wedding Ready

 My goals included: tracking my calories, not drinking soda, and finding time to work out.

For the past month I have been tracking calories using my fitness pal. I like my fitness pal because its free and most of the food I eat happens to be easy to find. It also allows you to put in recipes and since a lot cookbooks don't include nutrition facts, this is also awesome. So far I have dropped about 4-5 pounds. I have cut a lot of carbs from my diet. When making dinner, I've been some type of protein and lots of veggies. This still leaves me feeling full. I also bought the cooking light magazine in which all of the dishes are under 300 calories, I definitely recommend it. Everything I have made from there so far Brad and I have really enjoyed.

Drinking lots of water has been easy but avoiding soda not so much. I had soda this past weekend and I do feel a little guilty. There are so many studies on how bad soda is for you. Even still, it has been hard.  I am hoping to report more success in my next post :)

My schedule at work has changed, this is making it a little hard to work out. I'm working 4 ten hour days, on the days I don't work getting in a workout is easy. I've been doing pilates for about 20 minutes on my days off. On days I work, I am gone for about 11 hours and by the time I get home its after 6. I am going to try and wake up 10 minutes earier to get some pilates in. The videos I have ten minute work outs which I think I could do, so long as I am awake enough to do them.

I'm hoping to keep posting on Mondays, my day off. I am also hoping as soon as Jess gets settled after moving she can start blogging too! Feel free to find me on my fitness pal, username sunycaro.
