Opps....fell off the wagon!

Well I didn't fall of the face of the earth as some of you may suspect.
I did how ever fall off the wagon.
There was no eating right, no exercising (minus Zumba, cause I always do Zumba:))
and there was no weighing in.
I guess my heart was not in it this last round.
I have been refreshed though and am ready to not only hop back on the wagon, but to unhitch the horses and pull that sucker myself!!
Today I start round 4 of Insanity! Excited but not so sure I'm ready to not be able to walk tomorrow:)
Ryan and I also started a low carb lifestyle today.
He is great! He's so willing to do what ever there is to help me in my journey.
Today we do away with bread, potatoes, pasta, rice  and sweets.
This is going to be difficult but I know that those are a lot of the reasons I cant seem to lose weight!
 
 
 
 
Just because I am going low carb though does not mean I am condemned to eat nothing but meat and cheese. This is not so. There are lots of low carb foods. Many green veggies are considered free foods because they are low in carbs. Berries are typically lower carb as well.
Now there are lots of low carb diets out there. I just choose the one that works best for me:)
I will be having a shake in the morning, a low carb snack (veggies or cottage cheese), a shake for lunch, another snack, and a nice dinner. Dinner will consist of a veggie and a protein.
I am so excited that Ryan has committed to do this with me:)
So with this all said I will give you my new starting weight.
Weight is 205.
 
Ready to get back on this wagon!
Who is joining me in this journey?
I am going to try and post low carb meals that I have made to help give ideas to those who are searching for some:)
I have found many that I am excited to try!
The first one is a recipe that I came up with.
Ryan and I had it the other night.
I took steak tips, zucchini, summer squash, onions and tomatoes.
I placed them in a foil pouch and sprinkled seasoning of choice on them.
Grilled till steak was done and veggies were soft.
It was amazing!! No potatoes or bread were even necessary!
The gill is my best friend when doing low carb:)
I will try and post pictures of the other recipes I try:)
Well time to go mow the yard and burn some calories up!
See ya on Weigh in Wednesday!!
