Motivation

I think I'm killing time in a good way. I decided since I can't get pregnant right now, I should work on being healthier. I downloaded an iPhone app to help me keep track of my calorie intake and exercise. So far I've been eating a lot healthier! At the end of the day, it tells you "if everyday were like today, you would weigh this much in 5 weeks". Such an eye opener! On Sunday, I went to visit my brother at college and ate out twice. That was the night I downloaded the program. I would gain 5 pounds in 5 weeks if I ate like that everyday! Since then, I've been eating less than 1500 calories each day. I learned that salad is pretty filling and low in calories if you top it with scallops. I learned that boiled eggs only have 70 calories and are a pretty filling breakfast. I think as I learn more tricks like that, eating healthy will keep getting easier. I'm excited to see results. According to my app, I should lose about 2 pounds per week. At that rate, within 9 months I should be back at my ideal weight! Hurray! :-) I'll look sexy and when we get this financial situation straightened out, I should have an easier time getting pregnant without this extra weight. :-)
