I'm 17 days out into writing down everything I eat for the day, and so far soo good. I wish I would have weighed myself on my start date, but I can definitely tell that I have lost. I'm trying to just eat whole foods and limit my carbs. Sticking to 1000 to 12000 calories a day. When I say limiting my carbs I'm referring to breads, potatos, pasta, that type of carb, and some veggies that are higher in carbs, like corn, that type of veggie. It seems to really work for me. I can eat a low carb tortilla and the next day my stomach is pooching out like crazy! So, I'm limiting my intake.

I have walked/jogged 7 miles since Monday. I am really trying to exercise 5 to 6 days a week. So far soo good. Tonight I will only lift weights, no cardio. I have started lifting 20lb dumbbells but I'm doing lower reps, and I can see a difference using the heavier weights. Just curious what others out there are lifting for bicep/tricep curls?

Looking forward to a nice evening at home with the family! I plan on baking a new recipe I found for Pumpkin Bread. I will have to have a little taste of it, but I'm really making it for my husband to take to work and have something good and healthy to snack on. This recipe is made with Whole Wheat Four, applesauce is substitued for oil, and splenda instead of sugar. I'll let you all know how it turns out. If anything my house is going to smell soo yummy with the scent of pumpkin, cinnamon and allspice. I love those smells. They remind me of the fall, which I'm soo ready for!

Have a woderful, productive day, and keep on keeping on!
