Hey beloved readers, followers & stumblers! Time to change up this blog a bit. While I've been thoroughly enjoying trying a new recipe every day, it's been next to impossible to keep up since my return to work. Obviously, I'm still eating but I do rely on old faithfuls on those days when I'm dragging my butt off the bus.
Also, this challenge (combined with my broken foot and lack of ability for my usual activity level) has had some serious consequences on my waistline. Now, a gal hates to admit her weigh ins...but I'll leave it at an extra 3 inches in all the wrong places.
That being said, I'm going to be using this blog as a motivational means to keep my diet on track! I'm still going to be posting recipes, and yup- even daily again. I think it'll help me stick to this diet I've started on. For those of you wondering, I'm following a strict "Amanda" diet, haha. I've taken pieces of the P90X nutrition plan, recipes from the biggest loser and tidbits of Weight Watchers and Atkins diets. I'm also using a great FREE support site Spark People to track my calorie intake, measurements and physical activity.
Being in my 20's and working a job that requires me to be reasonably active for the entire day, it's really difficult to lose the last 10 pounds. Exercise alone is not enough, so I'm excited to embark on this and I've even got my boyfriend on board for extra support!
Damn, I sure will miss my crispy chicken skin though....
Day 1. Let's do this.
