May Challenge: First Weigh In

The day has arrived. The first weigh-in day of my May Challenge. 

May's Challenge

Weekly Photo Weigh-In's
Post Calories in/Calories out 5/7 days Per Week
Eat Out no more than Once Per Week

I am seriously regretting my choice of making photo weigh-in's a weekly goal of mine, but I know why I did it and it's only going to help me in the long run.

Ouch. That number hurts. That's the same number I saw when I started my April challenge. It's okay though, because I'm not going to see that number for much longer.

I'm up in weight because I went out to eat on Friday and Saturday. Which, is part of the reason for why I wanted to start my May challenge today. That, and because by starting today, I have four full weeks to work on this challenge. That kind of structure makes me happy.

So, today I am very motivated! I am excited for the challenge ahead of me, and I know that I am going to shed some serious weight this month. I can do it!

For breakfast, I had a fruit smoothie with vanilla whey protein powder {210 calories}. For lunch I am planning on having a tuna melt and for dinner we will be trying a new recipe. The new recipe is inspired by a pizza we had while dining out yesterday. I hope to share the details on how it turns out, tomorrow!

What's on your plate this week?
