Day 8: One Week In: My progress

I can't believe a whole week has gone by already into this 100 Day Challenge!

THM-Challenge Group Facebook page challenged us Trim Healthy Mamas to 100 days of eating healthy and seeing the results.  So, here I am one week into the challenge.

Week 1

Ok, so not a whole lot of difference, but Trim Healthy Mama is a slow and steady process, like the tortoise in the race.  I maybe am down .4 of a pound, but I feel less "swollen" this week than last.  I am proud of myself because I had 3 meals out this week and still kept pretty close to plan on 2 of them (one was Panda Express and for that I am ashamed).

I started exercising again this week.  Yay for me!  Ran twice and cleaned houses.  Although this is not much, it is a start.  I was very conscious of it and that's what matters most.

My goals for next week:

I am going to get my rear in gear in the exercise department.  I am putting my hand on the P90X videos today and get that ball rolling.  I will also take advantage of any nice weather days and run.  Hopefully, I will get my husband to join me:)

I also will be creating a new menu to keep me on track.  One of my challenges will be to get around Valentine's Day (the church has a couples banquet) and staying away from the chocolate.  Today, I have the day off, so I will be making lots of yummy THM desserts to satisfy that sweet tooth:) I also printed off all my Pinterest finds so I could make them this coming week.  Can't wait to make the caramel sauce!  Here's all my mess of recipes, book, and previous menus.  Yea, I've been at this a long time:)

I'm also going to drink more water.  I am a water drinker anyway, but when I get busy I tend to forget to drink, drink, drink!
