What i am doing right:

- I am drinking 6-8 glasses of water a day

- I gave up soda , caffeine and BREAD

- I am working out 2-3 times a week. Usually before the 3 kids wake up and i dont get off the elliptical/treadmill till the machine tells me i have burned atleast 500 calories

- I am realistic!

- i keep a food journal

- I weigh myself only once a week, on Mondays

What i am doing wrong

- I can eat well over 1 cup of food per meal...ususally more like 12-14 oz

- i am a "crunchy carb" junky and that has been hard to to give up I still eat chips, crackers, gramcrackers, corn chips...all the junk that slides right through

- i have 3 small kids and it seems i spend more that half of my day in the kitchen fixing up meals, snacks and treats...so i end up graissing on bad food choices.

- i have 2-3 alcoholic drinks per week ( i need it after a day with teh kids!!)

-Just cant give up Rice... it must be a Latina thing!

- I forget to take my vitamins, calcium and vitamin D 50% of the time

- I am eating well over 1200 calories per day

-I look at myself and see no real changes. I still look like i am prego.

My list could go an and on...but i have to go do my 3rd load of laundry.... just needed to vent i guess.

goodnight
