Time for an update

So here we are 3 months into my Year of Fitness. So far, I don't know how much weight I have lost. I am afraid to get on the scale! The last time I did, I weighed 3 pounds MORE than when I started. Didn't quite understand that one, because all of my clothes are getting looser. Needless to say, I don't really want to get on a scale again for a while. I am just going by the way my clothes fit. I can definitely tell that I have lost some inches. I am losing my weight from the "top down" as they say. My bras are looser, and not just in the circumference. I can definitely tell that my boobies are shrinking. I was hoping to keep them after all of the hard work I went through to get them (3 pregnancies). Oh well, if that's the price I have to pay to fit into my old clothes again then so be it. I finally got an android phone and loaded it up with a couple of apps to help me track my caloric intake. That's the reason why my weight loss is not coming along as fast as I would like. I just take in too many calories! So my goal for the rest of March is to track my eating as accurately as possible and try to cut my calories down to what they should be. I definitely like the workout program I am doing. It's not always feasible for me to do it 5 days a week. I usually average 3-4 days. I don't miss my strength training workouts if I can help it, but I have no qualms about skipping my cardio workouts. I really need to get those in. I know that I need both to get this weight off. That's most likely another reason that I am not seeing the weight loss I want to see. Skipping my workouts. Sometimes it just can't be helped. With 3 small kids, one of them is inevitably always sick or coming down with something. So I inevitably end up fighting off some type of sickness like every other week.
