Update

OK I am terrible at updating. I actually haven't had too much time to get to work on this.

I have been eating healthier. I am down to one cup of coffee since Monday and I have limited my sugar intake to a couple of bites the last 2 day.

Food Diary for Monday:
Breakfast
1 Piece of Whole Wheat Cheese Toast
1 16 oz cup of coffee
Lunch
Chicken Artichoke Sandwich on Focaccia
Couple of bites of caramel cheesecake (It is hard not to eat what you bake)
Dinner
8 oz of Cheddar Corn Chowder
3/4 Trout with Rissoto and Spinach (Bill ate about 1/4 of my meal)

Food Diary for Tuesday
Breakfast
1 cup Oatmeal with a little brown sugar, a tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of 1/2 & 1/2
1 16 oz cup of coffee
Lunch
Pita with Cucumber, Tomato, Chicken, Feta, and Cucumber Yogurt Sauce
A handful of chips
Edamame Hummus
Dinner
Red Beans and Rice
1 cup yoplait strawberry yogurt

Neither day did I drink nearly enough water. I did take my woman's vitamins and my vitamin C.

Yesterday I cleaned the patio at the restaurant. This worked up a sweat so I am counting it. I was out there for an hour working hard. Raking gravel is not fun. Today I did nothing but work. I have to get better about walking.

3L's Biggest Loser Challenge Intro

So I have a bit of a different reason to be doing the Biggest Loser challegenge. It isn't so much to loose weight (although I need to lose the weight) but to also get healthy for my upcoming surrogacy pregnancy. Creating a healthier lifestyle is something that I need to do in preperation for and then continue while pregnant. So, I need to lose 15 pounds and learn to live healthier. Also the medication and injection that I will be taking to prepare my body are known to cause weigh gain and I would really like to prevent this.

My goals
-Complete the weekly and daily challages.
-Walk two miles 4 times a week.
-Get on the olipitcal at least once a week.
-Drink 8 cups of water a day.
-Take my vitamins daily.
-Yoga once a week.
-Eat less sugar!
