Weight loss 101 errrr

I have decided I want to lose 10 pounds for Vegas.. well Vegas is my motivation lol.. I use to be such a gym rat. I started last week.. I did pretty good I made it to the gym 5 days out of 7.. not too shabby considering I was only doing 3 days prior and I really need to step it up.. it's just hard finding the time and getting home to cook dinner, bathe Emma and still spend quality time with my lil pumpkin butt. So now I go to the gym on my lunch break.. yup.. 30min cardio and 15-20min weights and then I hurry up get dressed and get my butt back to the office.. I like it.. I eat my sandwich on the way to the gym.. which this week I am doing salads so I will just eat here at 11:30 then leave at noon.. I am glad I finally found something that works for me.. at least I am not rushing like a mad women anymore when I get out of work. I feel more relaxed and I have a little routine that acutally is working for me.

I am trying a higher protein diet this time around.. so I started today off w/ a protein shake w/ some fresh fuit blended in with it.. it's actually pretty good.. about 2 hours later I had 1 piece of my ezekiel bread w/ organic pb LIGHTLY spreaded on there. I am suppose to be eating egg whites.. blah I've never been a fan of egg whites, or fried eggs cause of the white stuff etc haha so I boiled up 4 and I chopped one up in my salad today for lunch.. but that's suppose to be one of my mid morning meals.. not sure how I feel about it yet.. apparently I am not too keen cause, well, they are in the fridge at home.. but I swear tomorrow I will slice em up and bring them with me. I know my stomach is still adjusting to the smaller amounts of food I am no longer shoveling in my face haha. I actually feel better already.
Raw organic nut mix? Yummy
