So I found this website that I absolutely love! It is livestrong.com. I have been using the "My Plate" feature which keeps track of all your calories and exercise. I love it. I have been working on losing weight and so far within the last week I have lost 2lbs. Pretty good start I think! I have been working on eating healthier and keeping track of the calories I eat. It hasn't been too hard. I figured out that the more I excercise the more calories I get to eat..hehehe. So there is my motivation! Yesterday H and I went to the lake with Pyro. We took Pyro in the water with us and he was not a happy camper to say the least. I got a huge sunburn on my back. My bathing suit top had extra length in back so it covered half my back. I have a huge white blob in the middle of my back! lol. So I definitely need to hang out by the pool to even that out. I also found a recipe that I really like. It is blueberry oatmeal muffins. They are actually pretty healthy for you when it comes to muffins. They were yummy and way easy to make! Here is the recipe I got from Taste of Home:
