DairyFarmersWife

Start Weight:	(18 Jan 13) 159.0 lb
Current Weight:	(30 Apr 13) 155.0 lb
Goal Weight:	140.0 lb

following: Atkins
performance: gaining 8.8 lb a week

When you think of a dairy farmer's wife you probably don't think of anyone like me. I can't keep a plant alive if my life depended on it. I can't cook. I'm not crafty. I do milk cows and do chores around the barn but I also work full time, have an 9 yr old daughter in sports and we have a 10 month old son so I'm not helping out nearly as much as I wish I was. If I had to describe myself I would say I'm a hot mess running around in a million different directions, not getting anywhere.

So... what's one more direction? My goal is to weigh 150 lbs by the end of the year. I'll want to lose more after that but it's an achievable start in the right direction. I figure I can get there if I stop over eating and cut some of the junk out of my diet. It would also probably help if I could cook and I added some exercise in there somewhere.. when I'll have time I don't know but hey.. what's one more direction?

I recently started a blog about life on a dairy farm. If you're interested please follow me below: http://thedairyfarmerswife.blo...

Calf Muscles and Trouser legs (for those that have lost 100lb+)
I know I have to watch which brand I buy my husband. He's a dairy farmer so the number of squats he's done in his lifetime has given him some big calves. For the life of me I can't remember if he went to Wranglers or another brand. He's found carpenter pants have looser legs. He went from regular or stretch fits to those and hasn't has any problems since.

Recipe Websit?
I'm sure this has probably been asked before but if it was then it isn't in the top 10 pages so I thought I would ask again.

I'm looking for a recipe website that features healthy eating without a lot of processed ingrediants, low sugar, and hopefully lower calorie. I know of a couple but either the recipes are way too complex for a busy weekday meal or it's something my family won't eat.

Anyone have any suggestions?
