Mmm mmm good!

I did not have high hopes for this little snack that I decided to try. I got the idea on a blog and decided to add fresh peaches to livin it up a bit. Rice cakes, almond butter and peaches at first did not sound appealing but boy was I wrong this is delicious!!!!!

Gotta get back on the wagon

About 2 months ago I came to the realization (for the 2nd time) that I was not happy with my body. I had packed on and not lost any of my baby weight from my baby who is not so much a baby anymore. I decided I was done not feeling happy in my skin and I was going to change it. I signed up with a local gym and have been sticking to my workouts for some time now yet here I sit not seeing any real difference and feeling like I am at a stand still with my weight loss.
I hate to admit this publicly but here it goes........I have NO willpower!!! I mean none. If i have any sort of sweets in my house I will find them and eat them.
I thought just working out woud be enough but I am realizing now I need to have a SERIOUS life style change and to start it needs to be dramatic! The past few days I have me with a game plan I REALLY hope I can stick to.
I have planned out my menu for the week by meal (inclding snacks) to the T and my goal this week is to stick by it. Not cheat...not even once.
I am going to the grocery store on Saturday and I a going to do it this time.

I am sick of letting my own issues get in the way of losing weight and having the body I desire.
Here it goes, im back on the wagon of finding the balance between my love of food and my desire to feel comfortable in my own skin.
Wish me luck!!!
