Day Three

I am half-way through the third day of "Project Jumpstart".

Raspberry Balsalmic Vinegar can work wonders on baby greens.

Cottage Cheese is an amazing thing- How can you fit 13 grams of protein in 1/2 a cup for only 90 calories?

I am trying to focus on the goal: on Saturday, day 5 - I get to eat an Egg at Breakfast and Tuna at lunch.

Small steps, small goals. Making it through 4 days, then the next 6, then keeping my eye on those size 12's in my closet, and then, well, I guess if I behave myself I will get to go shopping for 10's.

I haven't fit in a size 10 in over 12 years. I remember the general era, my baby boy turns 10 today, and just before I conceived him, I had started to gain weight. I was about a 12 then, about 10 pounds lighter than I am today. By the time I had him, my body was so out-of-sorts, I couldn't fit in ANYTHING, I had to borrow shirts from my Father!

Why did it take me so long to get off the Roller-Coaster, and how do I stop myself from getting back on it?

I stopped worrying about how I looked. I forgot I was important, too. I remember that now. I am Important to me!

hello

sounds like you are doing well. i am so glad that you had a good time on your date. there is nothing like a nice date to make you feel good about getting back out there.  look out size 10's here you come. have a great day!  

i know the feeling...

there is something about motherhood that causes us to neglect ourself. lol.  i think i should have been in the guiness book of world records, i went from a size 12 to a size 20 in a few months, and this was after my son was born! scary, i know.   where did you get the info for project jumpstart. is it a book?

date

Happy to hear your multi-day date was good!!!  That's so encouraging.  My yahoo-personal new guy was so great, and I freaked out on him.  soooo not what i wanted to happen.  but i'm working through it.  baby steps, i guess.
