Hubby's bday tomorrow......

My husband's birthday is tomorrow and he does not eat gluten OR sugar!!! I have been searching for a recipe that would meet these qualifications and I found one that looks so yummy!

I am going to make Coconut Cupcakes with Key Lime Icing (http://www.elanaspantry.com/coconut-cupcakes-key-lime-icing/) YUMMO!!

I can't wait to try these!

I'm shrinking... ... ....

I am losing inches, but I still have extra inches in my tummy. I recently called in my measurements for a dress (I'm going to be in a wedding). The measurements were (European sizes):
chest: size 14
waist: size 16-18
hips: size 12.

EEEeeek! I have a thick mid-section! No wonder my "skinny" clothes don't fit the same way. I am sure the extra padding around my waist has everything to do with back to back pregnancies and the rapid weight gain.

I still have 20+lbs to loose so here is my new strategy:

1. Count calories (1600 per day)
2. RUN, jog, walk 3xs a week for an hour+
3. Jillian Micheal's 3Xs a week
4. Get more sleep (7hrs a night)
5. Drink water (this is sooooo hard for me. I tend to drink tea).
6. Reduce calories weekly/biweekly as needed.

Calorie Counter!!

Post detox-I look like this:

I am still wanting to lose 20-25 lbs!! I have conquered my sugar addiction but I am still working on my food addiction. I LOVE food. So, I loose weight 15lbs at a time and gain a few pounds back. I have lost 30lbs since going sugar free. I am not willing to give up any ground I have gained so I am going to start counting calories. I am also not going to eat after dinner!!! And, I am starting to RUN!! whoo hoo. I never thought I would be a runner. I am running 5 blocks/walking 1! Soon, I will not be walking at all. I am up to about 4 miles at a time. I am training to run 8 miles by this fall! =) Whoo hooo! =)
