Day 76

Hello everyone!  I hope everyone enjoyed their St. Patty's Day...I know I did (I love being with my 2 favorite people in the world).  Today is day 76 but really it's like Day 1.  I have new diet restrictions and a new workout program.  My nutrition will go as such:  1385 calorie limit, 92 grams of fat limit, 17 grams of carbs limit, and 121 grams of protein limit...these are all limits per day.  It is going to be really tough but these numbers are based off of my body type and I am going to really try my best to stick to these numbers.  I don't know if you realize how difficult it will be to only take in 17 grams of carbohydrates....everything has carbs.....even a lot of meat has carbs...but I am going to do my absolute best.  Also, this new workout program that my husband has designed specifically for my body type is also going to be extremely challenging....I know with %100 certainty that if I stick to this program (diet & exercise) and give it my all, that I will have my dream body this summer...so here goes...wish me luck!
