Goals and New favorite website

I'm down another pound and still feeling great! I logged all of my food for today, and MyFitnessPal told me that if everyday were like today I would be down a total of 12 lbs in 5 weeks. Sounds good to me! That would put me over half way to my goal! I'm really motivated this time around. We're going to Chicago the first week of July and I'm hoping to be within 5 lbs of my goal by then. That's 15 weeks away, so if I continue to drop a lb a week, I should have no problem getting there. We went out shopping this weekend to get Brody some summer clothes and it was really hard not to get some things for myself, but I'm going to try really hard to wait until I'm where I want to be. I have one pair of shorts and I'm hoping to add a couple more this summer.

On to my new favorite food blog...it's called Dashing Dish. She's got a real-life, healthy approach to weight loss and her recipes look great. I haven't actually tried any, but I need to go get some vanilla protein powder and make some of her shakes! We like the chocolate around here, but some of recipes sound so great that I think I'll need to get some vanilla! I adjusted my goals on MyFitnessPal so that they were consistent with some of the info she had on her blog.

Oh and some encouraging news...my heart rate monitor was low on batteries and actually died on Friday, so I replaced the batteries and redid all of my settings. On Saturday morning I burned 664 calories! Then this morning I did 596...I think either my watch was weak or my settings were wrong (height, weight, gender, age, etc) because this is a lot higher than it was reading before. I'll take it!

I know these posts are probably boring to anyone reading, but they are helping me to stay accountable and really lose the weight this time! I'm going to try to link up with Ashley...for some reason it hasn't worked the past couple of weeks...
