56 Week Challenge Kick Off!

Yesterday was the start of my 56 week challenge to lose 56 lbs. So I can be in my 130's by Thirty!

My hubby helped me take my baseline body measurements which I will check again in a month.

56 Weeks left Stats

• 189.6 lbs
• 45" Waist
• 26" Thighs
• 45/39" Bust
• 13.5" Upper arm 

I do have to admit that after 2 weeks of Christmas Holiday goodness with my boys and rest of family, that my first day of the challenge was a bit of a 'challenge'. I started off the day with some fruit and peanut butter and was feeling quite good and smug with myself on how I was starting off my challenge right.

I did great until we headed over to my parents and saw the Chocolate covered potatos chips that were left over from the Christmas party a few days before. I didn't eat the rest of the box, I think I ate about 6-7 and left 2 in the box... I imagine things would have been ok there, but I also saw the cashew jar and had a slice a pizza before leaving to come home. I felt a wee bit bad about it all, but the end of one day leads to a fresh start tomorrow, right?

I know I am going to have to remember that I am going into this challenge looking for one pound difference each week and not to go extreme on resisting foods I enjoy, feel bad for giving in a bit, and then punishing myself. I want to make good changes on my food intake amount and make wise food choices throughout my challenge.

Keeping the balance will be a challenge along the way.
