I've decided it's about time to get serious about losing this weight. My hubby and I are both more than we want to be, so after some prayerful consideration this weekend, we are restarting our weight loss goals.
I will be posting some of our favorite recipes as well as my progress here. Today is day 2 (yesterday was pretty busy and I didn't get to post) of our new plan: a hearty breakfast of filling yet healthy foods, a light lunch, a sensible dinner, healthy snacks, and a taste of dessert each day, so that we don't feel like we're depriving ourselves. I made these fake Reese's eggs yesterday, which will be our first test of our wills. I already froze half the batch and we plan to eat a tiny piece each day, no more.
I feel like this will work. It will be hard, and I will be inclined to veer off the plan every once in a while, but it is doable. Especially with two little boys, I think this is better than a strict diet of no processed foods and struggling with meal planning constantly. I am giving myself until November 24 (my birthday) to lose 44.5 pounds. That is a pound every 5 1/2 days. By eating better, exercising more (which we're able to do now that it's nicer out), and nursing 2 babies, I think I can do this.
