YAY...I am actually doing it and its working!!

This isn't me but I feel like she feels! I am sooo excited!!

When I was in Colo. seeing my sister, we both decided to work out a plan to change our lifestyles to both loose weight. We got little weight booklets from Michael's and we both made our own rules of what we wanted to do and goals etc. We also measured each other and weighed on the scaled. We are keeping each other accountable.

Here is my list of what I want to do:
1. 6-8 glasses of water a day
2. No tea because I like really sweet, sweet tea. ha!
3. No pop
4. No cookies or candy
5. 1 bread exchange a day which is 2 slices for 1 exchange.
    (I haven't had any bread because I think I may be allergic to bread)
6. 5 chips a day or when you have them
7. No fries or fast food. If needed then it must be as healthy as possible.
8. 2 processed foods a week. You can eat processed food if they have under 5 ingredients in them
9. 2 lunch meats a week, I eat Turkey only
10. 1 C pasta, rice etc.
11. Eat proteins at every meal of you can.
12. No potatoes
13. 1 cup of milk a day
14. 1 slice of cheese for a week
15. 1 C of cereal
16. Portions must fit in your hand.
