Just a little introduction

Hello! I figure my first post should just be an introduction so I can tell you a little about myself. I am 24 years old, work full time, and am a part time student. I won't bore you with the details of my job, just that it involves having my own office which I thouroughly enjoy. :) I have an amazing girlfriend named Crystal that I love more than I even though possible! She is perfect for me and I can't imagine life without her. We have an american bulldog mix name Gemma who is my babygirl and obviously a momma's girl anytime I'm around. We are also fostering a husky named Remi for a year or so to help a friend out so you will be hearing plenty about them even though this blog has nothing to do with them. I'm just a proud fur momma!
 

There's my adorable children! (Whom aren't supposed to be on the couch, but they're so damn cute!) I also wanted to add a picture of Crystal and I but the computer won't let me. (I'm sure I'll be hearing about that from her later though.)

Anyway, one of the reasons I wanted to upload the picture of us was so that you could see what I look like weighing around 207 pounds. That is the most I've ever weighed and I absolutely can't stand to see that number on the scale or, frankly, to even look at myself in the mirror. I will do my best to add a picture when I am on my computer at home tonight. In the last week, I have lost 6 pounds and weighed in this morning at 201.2. (My personal goal is to be under 200 by monday morning.) All I have really done this week is eat healthy and I went to the gym on Monday morning. The plan was to work out 5 days this week but things got in the way and that just hasn't happened. My goal is to work out tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday though so I am at least close to the 5 day goal.

My biggest downfall is getting up and going to the gym. Healthy eating is pretty easy for me as I love fruits and veggies. For example today for lunch I had a whole wheat wrap with 2 slices of turkey, 2 slices of ham, a tiny bit of honey mustard, and sliced cucumbers on it as well as carrots and cucumber with hummus, a few honey wheat pretzels, and a small pack of fruit snacks for "dessert."

The other big part of this I forgot to mention is that I am doing Herbalife shakes in the morning and also for dinner on the evenings that I have class because I go straight from work to school. If I try any herbalife recipes and absolutely love them, I will be sure to share them with you. Lifewise, if anybody uses the vanilla powder and wants to share recipes with me, I would greatly appreciate it. Actually, in closing, I might as well share the one with you that I have been drinking pretty regularly over the last week.

1/2 cup canned pumpkin (not pie filling, just pumpkin)
1/2 cup vanilla greek yogurt
2 scoops of the meal replacement powder
Cinnamon to taste
6 ice cubes
A small amount of water

It seriously tastes like pumpkin pie in a cup and I love it!
