1 Month more healthy than the last!

I know I am late in posting this by half of another month but life has been taking me on a whirl wind and I know finally have time to relax and blog!

    It has been a month of my favorite machine, The elliptical! Boy, it has been working my butt off, more than I thought possible! I try and use it every day for 30-50 mins just depending on how well I eat that day or not. My favorite app is myfitnesspal, where I can log everything I eat and spend time working out. I love seeing how much I work out my calorie count goes back up so I can eat more (I never do). Most of my family notice a difference within a week, I did not until my 4th week. Now I have tons of friends asking how much I have lost which I respond to, "I don't know, I don't own a scale and if I do I will rely on it and that is not what I want." I do have a doctors appt early May and that is when I will find out. I feel so much better now and love how I look. My elliptical is def my best and worse enemy and I love it! She is worse than a personal trainer! I feel like my shirts are looser than my pants, but I know soon that my pants will soon start falling off me or hiking up to my armpits!

WHAT AM I EATING?
   I am eating less than 1200 calories a day. I try and eat as much protein as I can. I drink muscle milk to help add to the protein that I am missing. For breakfast I eat yogurt and granola. Lunch, its a sandwich of ham or turkey with thin bread that is 100 calorie along with mustard. Also, try to have veggies with it or a healthy snack. Dinner I have either smoked turkey dogs with mustard and tons of veggies, small chicken breast and tons of veggies, or turkey taco meat with spinach as a salad or nachos. It is pretty easy and yummy!

Well here is month 1 results! I can't wait to see month 2 results and I am counting down  2 more weeks to go!
