Day 87: Cycle 1 Day 8...Weigh In Day!

*Yes I know there is a day missing but let's face it, yesterday was rainy and crappy so there was nothing to write home about. The only thing I need to do now if figure out what I can do to workout when it is raining*

So today is weigh in day! Am I going to tell you right off the bat? Well what fun will that be? NONE! So I am going to let you know what I have gotten out of this past week with this new plan I am on...

• My blood pressure is normal! Since I had Dustin I was unable to get it down and I thought that I was going to have to be on pills at my age. Well just by eating healthy in the past 7 days I have gotten in back to normal. It is great to see the air is on 68 in the house and be cold when before I was sweating.
• I have will power! I have said before that when I go out to eat I always have the best of intentions but then my mouth blurts out all the wrong things! Not anymore! Even at home I do not snack on what the kids didn't eat at dinner (those golden oreros are evil though they are constantly taunting me).
• I love to exercise. Actually I knew that I just didn't realize how mush I missed it. Sure I wish I had the gym equipment but I am getting a better workout outside because I would be on a treadmill and instead I am in the sand (sugar sand at that) and lets face it, it's way harder to jog in that. 
• You really can have support in the family. This is the first time I have really had support in doing this. John hasn't been eating too much off the plan (when we are out he can eat whatever) and even my dad has been on board (but I still can't get him to use the spray butter), and finally the kids are trying. Kota is now a fan of turkey burgers and Dustin has quit asking me if I want a bite of all his snacks. The one thing we all agree on is that we can't wait to have red meat in the house again!
• I love my mommy time! When I work out for the most part John has been watching Boogies when he can. It is nice to just walk and jog and clear my head. Right now I am getting 30 mins in but I hope to start to get an hour in soon. It's the one time each day I can relax.

So there you have it that is what I have learned in just 7 days. I truly love this diet and I can see it in the end being a lifestyle change. Please if you need to lose some weight and are so sick of trying everything take this for a spin. It is easy to follow! www.17daydiet.com If you need anymore proof keep reading...
