Day 1

• Waist-45" 
• Hips-45"
• Bust-44"
• Arms-13"
• Thighs-24.5"

So the first day was kind of hard. I did my measuring and weighing and did my before pictures for all of you to see my progress. I weighed in at 192.4, YIKES! Other that my last month of being pregnant I have never been this heavy. So You will see below that there is a picture of my scars from my gall bladder surgery, as well as, my beautiful stretch marks my son gave me. I will also be working on toning and lightening the scars. I am also open to try anything for this because I know scars are stubborn little suckers. Please share and ideas!

The toughest part was the water challenge. Have all of you seen the gallon jugs that people are writing times on them so they have to drink so much throughout the day? Well I tried and I failed the first day. Don't get me wrong, I am probably the biggest water drinker you have ever seen because I don't drink soda, but when you become a mom, things like drinking water throughout the day rarely cross your mind until your throat gets dry. So the picture above is of my water cup I use and I figured out that if I fill it up four times throughout the day then it is almost equivalent to a gallon. Today, I only got to fill it up three times. It's good but not good enough! 

Another thing was the exercise. Today was the first day so I didn't go crazy with the exercise part today. First thing I did was walk. I used the app Runtastic to track how far I went which was cool. Today I only went only .54 miles but it was a start. After I walked with my little guy, we went to a Mommy and Me Fitness Class at Hapa Yoga here in San Diego. It was so nice and my little man loves the Mommy and Me classes. I am going to try and do these classes on days I don't have personal training. Yes, I said personal training. I start that on Monday bright and early at 6:30 am. I will be doing personal training 2-3 times a week to get my but in shape along with the Mommy and Me classes twice a week. In addition, I want to walk father and farther each day. 


The thing that was the easiest was the eating part. Today I actually didn't want anything bad for me. Although I got some suggestions for food options throughout last week and today, I will be trying things out for myself and seeing how they work for me. As you can see in the pictures below, I had Greek vanilla yogurt and a banana for breakfast, 1 pork chop tenderloin and Caprese salad for lunch, and Stuffed Bell Pepper for Dinner. For the Stuffed Bell Pepper recipe I substituted the sausage for ground turkey and I used white rice and I didn't put any cheese. As for the Caprese salad, I was told to stay away from dairy completely so I might try that. That goes for the greek yogurt too. I was also told to stay away from fruit and eat more vegetables (preferably green) because fruit has a lot of sugar in them. I will be trying this out seeing as how I love fruit and cheese. Also notice the only carbs I had was white rice, I am the biggest bread lover and will be hard but I am going to not eat any bread throughout this process. 

As for the picture of the vitamins, yes they are Herbalife vitamins and I am selling them. I have lost weight just using these products before. I do have the shakes and will be drinking them as well. I love these products and please if you have any questions please let me know or click on the link.  https://www.GoHerbalife.com/hbryanna/en-US
