Baking and still losing!

So who would of thought that me losing weight would make me want to start baking!! All the times before it has been a matter of don't eat this, don 't keep that in your house, etc. But, since this time is different than the time before and I am not dieting, but simply changing my life I can still bake!! In fact I have found a new love for it, me and my husband spend out evenings together after the kids are in bed baking!! We have made homemade chicken noodles, fudge, bread, rolls, and even cherry cheese cake!! The fun part of this is finding the small little things that a person can change to make these recipes even healthier and a person not even be able to tell that they are eating something not to shabby for themself.

Cody and I as well as a friend have decided to take the special k diet! Only we put our own twist on things! We started this week and we are supposed to lose up to 7 lbs. and a pant size in 2 weeks, so i will be keeping you updated on that! You may be confused and saying "but, cara, you said you weren't going to do a diet? Well i'm not i simply take the "diets" that our around us and take the good from them and fit them into our lifestyle!! I'm changing my family one pound at a time!!

Hey guys just a quick update!

So, I was a little worried to get on the scale or put that tape measure thing around my waist, but i did it! To my surprise i lost a pound and 4 more inches for a total of 20 inches!! Which has given me the boost that i needed to get back on track!! Look out yogurt here I come!! So I am back on track which means, you guys get to hear more from me again!!
Hopefully tonight I will be smart as I go out for a night on the town with the girls!!
YAH!!

I'm Back!!

So after a very long week, I am finally back!! This past week was filled with a reunion and vacation! I had no change in my weight or in my inches, but I am okay with that because that means that I have not gained weight as well!!
So the plan now... Get back to walking my butt off!!! I am very excited about getting back into that routine, honestly i have missed it! Tho sleep is great, a healthy body is even better:)
Also, huge tip for anyone wanting to eat healthier: get you a george forman!!!!

Until next time guys,
Remind yourself you are beautiful!
