199 and going strong!

Finally! I've reached a sub 200 weight. It is my goal to lose 33 more lbs by the end of August. While the weight is steadily coming off, it's a very slow process - so I'm questioning if August is a realistic time frame. I guess we'll find out!
What I'm finding is that it is really difficult to make that transition from eating what FEELS good to eating what my body needs. My emotions often want fast food, comfort food...JUNK food. It is a constant struggle to cut through that and instead choose food that fuels my body. It's definitely a big change for me!
My next goal is to get a fitbit and find out more about myself and what I can do to help my body be healthier!
I'll see you at 195!!!

Hello June, Bye Bye Flab!

Well, that "respiratory infection" I complained about after the cleanse phase ended up being bronchitis. Bronchitis takes a bunch out of me because I have asthma and when I have bronchitis, it is an absolute workout just to breathe - let alone eat and take supplements. So the max phase never happened for me. Instead, I downloaded myfitnesspal on my phone and started keeping track of the calories I put in my body vs the calories I burn.
Today is day 14 using this app. I. LOVE. IT. I have lost another 6lbs and feel great!
Day 1 on MyFitnessPal - 206 lbs
Day 14 on MyFitnessPal - 200 lbs

If you want an easy to use, FREE method to keep track of in vs out, I encourage you to try MyFitnessPal!

Next update will have me under 200 lbs for the first time in at least 2 years! Yeah!
