Update

So, after another weekend of holiday eating, the time has come to start the "diet". So far, today wasn't bad; I had a yogurt for breakfast, a salad and an iced tea for lunch and refrained from snacking throughout the day. Then, I came home, finished my menu and grocery list and headed to the store. We stocked up on healthy meals, full of veggies, healthy options for breakfast and lunch and even snagged a few good snacks. And, once I got home, I ate a bowl of cereal with a banana and hopped on the treadmill for 30 minutes.

I also have a lot of people around me who are committed to trying to be healthier this year - Brandon is doing a "Fat Man" contest at work, my coworkers are all trying to trim down and we're doing a competition with Brandon's family - so, I have some motivation.

And, in case anyone reading this is trying to do the same thing as we are, here is a smoothie recipe that we intend to try for breakfast:

1/2 c. low-fat yogurt
1/3 c. frozen fruit (we chose blueberries and peaches)
1/2 banana
A splash of orange juice
A few cubes of ice

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

Kevin and I will be going on "Project Hawaii" once Gabe arrives. that's just one more reason I hope he come early - so I can buy a little more time before I have to be in a bathing suit. I went to the dr today and I've gained 2 pounds since last week - i don't care that I'm pregnant its still depressing to see the scale rise.

Good luck, it always seemed to help when there was someone else out there to support you. Make sure you aren't starving yourself by eating too little. I need some motivation to work out again, the increase in the scales just isn't enough yet.
