Food is my weakness

Food today was not so great. IT started off well and then went downhill. I had a bowl of curves berry cereal with sliced strawberries on top. Then one of the guys brought in cookies and i ended up have 2 chocolate chip cookies. I stayed on track them with lunch. I had a little thing of spaghettio's, watermelon and an sugar free applesauce. Then for a snack i had a sugar free vanilla pudding. For dinner i had a chicken breast with mesquite seasoning, steamed peas and then the kicker, stove top stuffing. i measured everything out though so i only had a serving. I could have done way worse today so all in all I'm pretty pleased. I want to incorporate more raw foods into my diet as well. I'm not a big veggie person so I'm taking it step at a time.

Today's Workout 7-7-08

Today's kettlebell workout consisted of:

4 x 20 26lb swings
4 x 10 16lb push press
4 x 10 16 lb snatches
3 x 5 pushups off of the 16lb kettlebells (on my knees)
5 sets of floor press series
5 reps of 10lbs
5 reps of 16lbs
5 reps of 26 lbs
4 sets of planks ( 30 second holds )

rest period varied because of me talking but i tried to keep my rest periods under 1 minute.

Today's the day!

Ok, wow putting all of this out there is a little bit scary. I'm on my way to a healthier me. I have said this many of times, but this time its for real. I'm ready to not be self conscience, i ready to be happy with the way i look, I'm ready to be happy about myself! I get so depressed about my weight and the way that i look. My husband and I got married a little over a year ago and would like to start a family. I want to have a healthy pregnancy and be a healthy and active parent. I'm about 100 lbs over weight. I weighed myself on Saturday and i was 246. I want to be 150, heck I'd be happy with 175 at this point. I am not an inactive person by any means. I go to the gym 3 times a week and walk on the days that I'm not at the gym. I'm doing the breast cancer 3 day in October so I'm trying to get in better shape for that. My husband has taught me some things using kettle bells. I love it! He just taught me snatches over the weekend, man are they addictive! I have never gotten such a great workout in a short amount of time as i do with them. I'm looking into getting some of my own so that i can use them on my off days from the gym just to keep in the swing of things. I"m not great at putting exercises together to form a workout for the day. I hate bothering my husband all the time also. Any suggestions would be helpful. I don't have a lot of extra income right now and searching the Internet only gets me so far. It be great to have some responses from real people who do this now. This is going to be a long journey and I'm glad now that i have somewhere to post my thoughts, ideas, emotions, food and exercise :) Wish me luck, because I'm certainly going to need it.
