So..almost three full weeks down! Tomorrow is my high carb day, and to be honest, I like the foods I eat better on low carb days.. cheese, peanut butter, etc.
I, of course, can't wait for my cheat day on Saturday, but I'm going to (fingers crossed) try not to over do it. I tend to do that, and I really don't want to mess up my progress.
I want my pants to start feeling looser!
I haven't been on a scale yet, but I will Sunday, so then the following Friday, I'll check my progress by the scale.
The only problem with that is, is that I do hardcore workouts (HIIT four days a week), so I'm worried about muscle weight instead.
Today my eats were:
Protein Pancake w/ crunchy natural peanut butter
turkey/cheddar roll up
chicken/green beans/string cheese
yogurt/SF raspberry preserves/peanut butter
salmon burger/bag of steam fresh California blend/pesto
High Carb day tomorrow! I'll write more then!
Night!

Small Sunday Update
Are ya cold enough?
Well, today it's actually pretty warm (a balmy 35 degrees), but the temperature will be on the decline starting tomorrow. There's a prediction for 2-3 feet in our region, plus wind, plus dangerous wind chills. Hope you're staying warm in your neck of the woods!
Today was officially day 1 of getting back on track. I'm following Chris Powell's Carb Cycling, and it really works for me. I did it before Thanksgiving, and it seemed to be working. I like the system.
I teach first grade, so I need a lot of portable food, and food that doesn't necessarily need to be kept cool. I grocery shopped and prepped some stuff today so I'll be ready to tackle the week!
Things I bought: chicken breast, veggie steamers, string cheese, beef jerky, turkey breast, oatmeal, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, egg whites, canned veggies, quinoa, sweet potatoes, and fat free creamer (I can't give it up! I'll be keeping you updated with what I do with those items later this week!
I've been eating clean since 2009, and in a year, I lost 90 pounds by working out and following Weight Watchers. However, as I mentioned before, several of those pounds have crept back on, and I'm finishing what I originally started.
Have a great Sunday evening!

Beginner's Details
Well, here I am, writing my first blog post. I've been so inspired by all of the blogs I read on a regular basis. I'm determined that those blogs have helped me stay on track the last three years.
I want to help keep myself accountable, and share with others what I'm doing to keep myself healthy and to lose the last 30 or so pounds that I need to lose.
I started on my journey at a weight of 265 pounds.
That picture really makes me want to throw up. And that's just the top half... ugh.
My lowest weight has been 163.
I'm pleased at 163 but not absolutely thrilled, so I want to keep going.
Currently I'm at about 190, according to my latest doctor's visit. I've definitely had major slip ups since August when I moved back to New York from North Carolina.
I'm finally determined to get back on track. I've got a great support group on Facebook and, as I mentioned before, I follow some really awesome, dedicated bloggers, and I aspire to be like them.
I'm going to keep everyone posted with pictures, meal plans, workouts, etc.
I've started my day with a protein pancake, courtesy of Julie @ PBFingers . It was delish. I topped it with some natural, PB, and devoured it...with a cup of coffee, of course!
I intend on continuing Carb Cycling, which is an awesome way to trim the fat, but stay full and energized.
