So today is the first day of starting the new diet that I have been at home alone. Well I am not totally alone since I have my handsome nearly 9 month old son with me. I only work 3 days a weeks, which gives me some "mad money" or enough to pay for my school loans and plenty of time to teach him and be with my son. Of course there is never enough time to spend with him.
So anyways here I sit, trying to keep busy instead of thinking of all the wonderful sugary foods in the fridge that I can't have. For Lunch I made a salad with sliced turkey and my fave- ranch dressing topped with sharp Cheddar cheese. Thinking of grilling some chicken for supper which means I will have to prepare some for my son as well along with his from the garden frozen green beans.
Today hasn't went totally bad or have I spent a lot of time being hungry. I really have been busy between taking care of Luke and doing house work. When I finally got him down for his first nap, I decided to take advantage and work out. I spent 30 minutes doing light yoga and then another 20-25 minutes walking around in the house and then some house work. Of course drinking plenty of water in between.
The weather here has turned very cold and we had our first real snow of the season yesterday. No accumulations, but it was pretty. My son loved watching it from our patio door and even tried to grab a few when I held him out the side in for a few moments. Today it is just COLD!
So I guess I should tell you a little more about me and this weight loss issue: First time mom and I have always had a battle with weight. I have never been totally obese but enough to just make me unhappy. After my son was born and I couldn't breast feed I stopped caring about how I ate and sank into a very bad routine of unhealthy foods and eating on the go and eating when I could. Now I am ready to get back the healthy version of me even if that isn't a perfect weight. I want to live for my husband and son.

Well I am off to do more house work, just wanted to check in today. Have a happy and blessed day!
