I've had enough!

I got a rude awakening today when I had a doctor's appointed and was WEIGHED. Oh My. I have been avoiding that horrid object (scale) for months and today I had no choice. I have gained so much weight and it's sickening.
So...plan of action..diet and workout. Luis is on board too, since being home, he and I have enjoyed it a little too much and have let ourselves go and it's time to shape up. None of our clothes fit, we feel awful etc etc etc.
Luis read the book "South Beach Diet" and we are going by those guidelines starting today. We also have a gym membership which I have slacked on and we plan to start going together. I need to lose at least 25 lbs to feel okay but more would be nice.
So I plan to blog about it because I need every one's support and kudos as I try this yet again. We are also trying to get pregnant and I don't need this extra weight on top of pg weight.

So today we ate:
Breakfast: 2 poached eggs
Snack: string cheese
Lunch: a very hearty salad with rotisserie chicken on top
Dinner: meatloaf, asparagus and salad
(I have yummy recipes if anyone is interested)

We have to cut out sugars and breads for the first 2 weeks but after can start eating whole grain bread and pitas, fruits etc.

Dude! I am so with you! I am so frustrated at myself! I lost soooo much weight for the wedding then put it all back on plus some! My clothes are too tight I feel like a sausage every time I put something on and its just gross! I have been trying for the past couple of weeks to be really good about what I eat and working out its just hard and no fun!! Then I somehow gained a pound but I am determined to keep trying! I guess I really just need to give up my beer! haha!!
