January - I really did nothing different this whole month. I ran with my training group but ate the same and didn't add any strength training. Not surprisingly I ended the month pretty much where I started.
February
During the first week of February I found this website I started reading about sugar and people who have cut it out of their diet. I was intrigued. Especially when I heard about the changes people saw in their moods, energy level and focus. So I figured I would give it a shot.
It was surprisingly easy to do. I have very few cravings and the few times I indulged it immediately resulted in a headache and extreme bitchiness. So I kept at it with little to no thought.
Even though I was still only running 3 times a week with my clinic I managed to lose 9 pounds by the end of the month. YAY!!!
March
My plans for March are to take it one step further. I've committed to doing Jillian Michael's 30 day shred every day in March. I'm also tracking my calories in and burned to try and find a balance of losing weight and staying fueled for my workout. I would love to see 5 pounds gone by the end of the month.

Weigh In Jan 8
223.4 UGH
I was on track and feeling good until the Kentucky Fried Chicken on Friday. One more week of not tracking and if I have poor results I will be going to tracking immediately.

Keeping it Real
I'm throwing it all out there. The good, the bad and the ugly. Although there is not much good about my starting point.
The Starting Point
Weight: 223 pounds
Chest: 43"
Abs: 42 3/4 "
Hips: 41"
Thigh: 28"
Arm: 13"
These were taken on December 26th, 2011 and I weighed in the same on Jan 1, 2012. I will do measurements once a month only.
The Goals
1. Lose 53 pounds. Averaging a pound a week seems reasonable and doable with any craziness
2. Run a 10K, a half marathon and a full marathon.
3. Wear my wedding rings and my prepregnancy jeans (my "baby" is turning 2 in April)
The Plan
1. Running 3 times a week with my half marathon training group (maybe once more if I feel like it)
2. Strength train 2 times a week
3. Yoga once a week.
4. My food plan is a little looser at the moment. I'm focusing on cutting out all day eating to start. 3 healthy meals and two healthy snacks. 8 glasses of water daily. If I need to tighten things up down the road and track calories I am willing to do that as well.
5. Post a weekly weigh-in, once a month measurement and during photos every 2 months or 10 pounds (whichever happens first).
And even though I'm the only one reading this, it was still really really scary to put out there :/
