"My" 30-Day Shred

Guys, I have had it. I've gained a total of 18 pounds in the last few months!!! Why? Certainly there's a simple answer to this: UNCONTROLLABLE EATING. It's been a mess. I've never been this size, and the more I think of it, the more I eat. And when I do attempt to start a day off eating healthy, the day ends with stuffing my face with extra snacks.

So, here goes-- today starts Day 1 of my 30-day shred. I have 30 days to lose between 8-10 pounds (by July 13th).  Keeping track on this blog will (*fingers crossed*) help me meet this goal. Currently, I am 165, 5ft. 3in tall (and there goes the evil villain music in the background!).

So, tonight, I'm drinking water. And I'm going to bed. I ate too many fatty stuff once again today. Here's the list:

Breakfast:

• Cheerios (not measured)
• Lactaid fat-free milk
• 1 large banana
• 8 oz. grapefruit juice

Lunch:

• Deli sandwich (2 slices of turkey,1/3 c lettuce, 1slice Swiss cheese, 1 slice tomato, 2 pickles, 1 tbsp mustard, whole grain bread)
• Granola bar
• Apple
• water

Dinner:

• Fresh tossed salad with grilled chicken
• 1 serving of tortilla chips and salsa
• water

Doesn't sound to bad, right? 

And wait for it-- the bad part of snacking/eating in between these meals:

• 3 small bowls of Fruit Loops with 2% milk
• 6 chocolate chip cookies
• handful of tortilla chips 

If I can eliminate the "bad" stuff, and replace it with fruits and veggies, I should be one step closer to my goal. So tomorrow, I'll have to change out the "bad" with the "good."  

Catch you guys up tomorrow!
