Greasy Fries or Skinny Thighs? You decide!

Love that saying! It has been a good motivation statement for me! So I have quite a bit of stuff to talk about tonight!! :

Tuesday December 27th:
Cardio day only at the gym! 1.69 miles on the treadmill for 30 minutes. Burned 364 calories!

Now as far as the rest of the week, I WAS A SLACKER! And I feel horrible about missing Friday and Saturday! I've decided Wednesdays and Thursdays will be my off days. So I have to make sure I stick to my schedule this week!! 

Wednesday December 28th:
Had my 2 week follow up with my lap-band doctor. Everything went great! I have lost a total for 20 pounds since December 20th!!! How awesome is that!! The doctor had nothing but good things to say! Well except for the fact that I need to start eating more often than just one or two times a day. Which I have been trying a lot harder to do. I'm just not all that hungry.

Wednesday and Thursday I had SO many positive things said to me. I felt like a million bucks! I was told I was looking skinny and that I looked fabulous! Thursday I wore a pair of jeans to work, which I have never done since I have been there. All I can say is, I love the ladies I work with! Everyone was just saying how great I looked and what not. I couldn't not help but smile! I honestly could of cried, that's how amazing it felt to hear all of those compliments! 

Friday December 30th:
The first time I have went to the grocery since surgery, AND I GOT TO BUY REAL FOOD! Super excited about that! I was so tired of opening my refrigerator and seeing nothing but liquids and "soft" foods. Bought this low calorie milk

I was a little nervous about buying it at first, I just knew it was going to taste like garbage and be a total waste of my money. Actually it's not bad at all and doesn't take too different from regular milk! So glad I decided to buy it, despite my hesitation! Worth the money and the fewer calories per serving! The white milk is also very tasty in my egg and salsa omelet!
I swear it taste a lot better than it looks in this photo! 
So I like to think my trip to the store was a success! Made a lot more healthier choices than I would of a few months ago. Which only gives me more motivation and more drive to reach my goal! 

I WILL make sure this is a true statement! 

Sunday January 1st:
Cardio and Strength Training day!!! 30 minutes on the treadmill went 1.37 miles and burned 283 calories. It felt so good to be back in the gym tonight.
*I was pretty sure I was going to die while taking this picture. For future reference, one should not attempt picture taking while on a treadmill*
 Did some ab workouts with a medicine ball. Lot of arm work outs with the dumbbells. And of course I had to visit the hip abductor and adductor... Bye bye thunder thighs!!
