Week 2 Recap!

Hey guys great job this week the points are awesome!

This has been a lot of fun for me, hard but fun! However I have realized how much I ate sugar! And now after not eating it really for two weeks, yesterday on my free day I didn't even want it! I have not been craving things as much as I thought I would which is really nice! Sugar really isn't something that I even want! How crazy it that!

It is still very hard for me to get motivated to work out however after I do it I feel so much better! So that is what helps me to get motivated! I am also working on walking/running in the river run for orphans this year so that is also helping me get motivated! :) I am so happy that I am doing this challenge and that all of you are doing it as well!

Good luck on week 3 everyone! I know you can do it! :)

Venting about Billy being Mean!

Okay guys just so you know Billy is not allow to wine or complain anymore about Tiff's cupcakes and no one I mean no one should have sympathy for him! Yesterday I was at the hospital visiting them and bringing Billy dinner when Jerome and Tiff showed up with some yummy french desserts. Now I did not mind that they brought the desserts at all it truly was not that big of a deal until Billy walked over and put the plates under my nose! How mean is that??? LOL! No one ever listen to Billy and all his wining and crying about the no sugar rule and no eating after 8:30 he is just a big baby! And yes I told him I was going to post about this because I wanted everyone to know how mean he is and how much he acts like a baby! (giggle) :) But we still all love him! :) Just wanted to vent for a minute! :)

My biggest struggles so Far!

Okay so one of my biggest struggle so far has been not eating sugar. You never really realize how much sugar you eat until you can't have it. Plus you never really realize how much sugar is in a lot of things until you truly start looking! However not eating sugar has really made me feel good! :) I look in the mirror and don't feel so blah which has been really nice. :) I had to leave a birthday party on Tuesday with Noah because they where getting ready to eat cup cakes and I just did not want to be tempted to just eat one! :) So we left which really made me feel good and realize that I do have will power. :)

Okay and my second biggest struggle has been getting the momentum to work out. I love to work out it is just actually getting up and doing it that takes the most will power. However once I start I feel great while I am doing it and after! Like I have accomplished something and it makes me feel really good about myself!

I know I can do this and I am so happy to have all of you on my team! I know you all are doing an amazing job! :) Keep up the good work! :)

No eating after 8:30 pm

Okay so just an idea or a thought! Not eating after 8:30 is hard that is for sure so I thought I would share something that has helped me. I normally carry a travel tooth brush and tooth paste in my purse so weather I am out and about or at home when 8:30 hits I go and brush my teeth. The reason being is because once I brush, and floss for the night the last thing I want to do is do it all over again. So it helps me not eat! :) Just a thought for those of you who eating after 8:30 is a struggle! :)

I am Ready!

Okay so to be honest I am excited and a little nerves to start this challenge at the same time! I have tried many diet plans since I was around the age of 12 and I have not been able to truly stick to them. This time around I am working on telling myself that this is NOT a diet plan but a way to get healthy. I am the type of person that if I get off track one day I throw in the towel and give up. I don't want this time to be like that. I want to make a life style change and get healthy. I want to be able to be honest about what I am struggling with and take it one day at a time. That is way I am so excited we are all doing this together. It is fun to have the challenge to beat Billy because I hardly ever do and I really want to lol! Plus it is fun to have all of you to talk to and get helpful tips from. I am happy to have people to keep me accountable and to walk this journey with. So as we only have 2 days left I am getting excited and ready to go and take this journey head on. I just wanted to get it off my chest that I am excited and a little nerves at the same time! So here we go all or nothing!

Why Me....

Hi my name is Jinny MacDonald and I am a nanny in Durango, Colorado. Jill and I are really good friends and when she informed me of her plan for this blog it was an answer to prayer. I have wanted to get healthy for a long time but have just been lazy. I am excited to have the support of friends to make this goal a reality. I am a very competitive person so I want to win which makes getting healthy even more fun! :) I am looking forward to see everyone change over the next 10 weeks! I am ready are you???
