Last Meal

Today is my last day before beginning the 17 day diet tomorrow.  Today I have enjoyed some of my favorites that I feel I will miss (in moderation of course).

For breakfast I had eggs and hash browns (yummy), for lunch I had frozen pizza, and for dinner we are having steak a potatoes.

I stocked up today on some 17 day diet foods: yogurts, berries, apples, lettuce (of various kinds), turkey cutlets, turkey breast, and some fat free salad dressings.

Kroger Non Fat greek and carbmaster yogurts

Green leaf lettuce, green beans, berries

My favorite Maple Grove Farms Vermont dressings.

Tomorrow I will post a before picture, weight/measurements, as well as my first recipe of my 17 day diet! 

Morning run by the lake

I went home to Wisconsin this past weekend to see some family and friends.  Sunday morning I decided to go on a jog along the lake.  I started Week 4 day 1 this week so I knew it would be tougher then usual.  I wanted something nice to enjoy along my way.  It was a beautiful sunny morning. 

1st Entry

I'm starting this blog as an outlet for my weight loss journey.  I actually started last August but now that I have 6 months or so under my belt I feel like I can share what I've learned to do and not to do to make this a successful change in my life.  I'm starting a few different things in April so I'll be posting more starting then. 

I started C25k March 3rd.  So far its going well.  This week I begin week 3 which progressively gets harder.  We'll see how it goes, first run will be tomorrow. 

In April I'm going to begin the 17 day diet and a strength training routine from "The New Rules of Lifting for Women" (Lou Schuler).  Both of these programs I hope to help me progress in my journey. 

I'll be posting exercises that I'm doing, my progress with my c25k, some recipes from the diet (or not from the diet if they are yummy) and anything else I find cool to share with you all. 

That's all for now.  Hope you all enjoy the weekend its gorgeous here in Indiana.
