So, I had a pretty good day. I'm burnt to a crisp...but otherwise good. :) The hubby and I just had a conversation. He wants to lose weight, too. Today, he tried on a pair of jeans - and they were too small. He wants to lose weight. I told him I would help him. And I did. At dinner, I made him the EXACT same plate as me. Normally, he would complain. "It's not enough food", "I'm still hungry"...etc., etc. I didn't tell him what I did - I just brought him a plate. We ate, and he said "Wow, I'm full. Thanks honey." That's when I told him I measured out his plate. He was shocked - but it kind of mad him see that measuring out things and watching portions isn't as hard as I sometimes make it out to be. Oh - and that it IS enough food. I told him I am more than willing to make him the same thing I eat at every meal. No problem. But I cannot and will not babysit his snacking. I told him he has to log his own calories, and watch his own snacks. He seems open to it, and hopefully he will stick to it. I need the accountability. Speaking of...here's what I ate today.

What a great blog and you are definitely an inspiration! Just a thought... Eat breakfast! It jumps starts your metabolism. I never use to until I was yelled at by a doctor. He said your body will start the starvation process and you will eat more later if anything have a smoothie. That's what I have been doing and lost over 20lbs since just changing that. Keep it up and I can't wait to hear more!
