Why I'm Breaking Up With Carbs...

My low carb journey to weight loss!
I'm addicted to fried foods, and things smothered in chili and cheese! It doesn't help that I'm from TEXAS, home of the Fried everything! I'm 5'5 and my goal is to lose about 75lbs. AND I'm getting married next October and I want to look fabulous in a wedding dress!!
I'm blogging the entire experience here. Now for most, this would be easy, buy some veggies, grill your chicken and beef for the week for lunch, dinner, etc. But here is the thing, I do NOT cook, ever! Which is probably the main reason why I'm where I'm at, I lived off of fast food, and I still do. I eat out every single day of the week, so it's a bit more challenging for me to be on this new low carb diet. Oh yeah, it's not a diet, it's a "lifestyle change". I have the help of my wonderful boyfriend who decided he'd join me on this journey. Hope you enjoy reading my blog! xoxo Gina

Day seventy seven

Breakfast- Ihop-2 Real eggs w/cheese & bacon, my dish came with hash browns which I gave to the kiddos. If you are watching your carbs, be careful when you eat at IHop, unless you specify that you want real eggs, or egg beaters, they actually add pancake batter to the eggs to make them more fluffy.

Lunch- Wings N More- Grilled chicken caesar salad w/out croutons (not pictured)

Dinner- Texas Land & Cattle- Appetizer- steak queso, salad w/ranch, and bacon wrapped sirloin w/spinach

Day seventy two

Today I joined the YMCA, I don't know why but I was so nervous. After sitting in the parking lot for what seemed like forever, I gathered the courage to go in and sign up. I joked that I was already sweating and I hadn't even started working out. The gym is located in downtown Houston, TX and is beautiful! Each machine has it's own tv. I watched a full episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County, I got in about 2 1/2 miles while watching the show, and the best part is that it made me keep going, I didn't want to leave the machine in fear of missing something on the show! HA! I will try my very best to go at least 5 days a week and get some sort of workout in. Can't wait to see my results on Friday! :)

Lunch- Chick Fil A- Bunless grilled chicken sandwich w/mayo & mustard sauce

Dinner- Teotihuacan- Tops of 2 beef fajita tostadas





On the treadmill!

My new beautiful gym! :)
