My Weight Loss progress

I decided to journal a little bit about my progress. Let's see. I've been dieting for about 100 days now. I have an app on my phone that I use everyday to log in my food and exercises. It's called MyFitnessPal. I started out eating about 1350 calories a day. Now I'm at about 1200-1250.

I do some sort of exercise every day. I walk a lot outside while the kids are playing. I also pull them around in their wagon (boy is that hard work!!) I do some Pilates & Yoga occassionally. And P90X when I feel like dying ha! But my main work out is called Turbo Fire. It is awesome! I reccommend it for everyone!! It's a combination of boxing and cardio and a little bit of dance. It is so much fun, burns a ton of a calories, and makes me feel so good!

I can sit here and say that it has drastically changed my body! I started at 146 pounds (my heaviest) and now I'm at 131. I haven't measured myself in a while (need to do that tonight) but I am losing inches too. I started at a 12 and now fit into 6! (Which I personally, don't care about all these numbers, I just wanted to feel better about myself.) But I'm telling you guys this to show that changes can happen if you stick with it!

I bought my first bikini in almost 3 years! Yes, there are still areas that need toning (us girls are never 100% satisfied are we?) But I am here to tell ya, I haven't felt this good in years.

Here are a few things I love eating:
1. Greek Yogurt Parfaits (non-fat), Strawberry, 110 calories! (come with granola to mix, yum!)
2. Special K Protein Meal Replacement bars, Double Choclate, 170 calories (this helps my chocolate cravings. I usually eat one for breakfast with some good old Orange Juice).
3. Special K Protein Snack bars, Chocolate Peanut butter, 110 calories (great for between meal snacks).
4. Chicken! Looooveeee chicken! It's so good for you!
5. Water, water, water!

((now this is by no means all that I eat, it's just some of my faves)) I am still eating junk foods sometimes, just not as much! Portion control! I know you have all heard it before, but seriously. It's ok to eat those Oreos- but just eat 2. It's ok to have some pizza- have one slice! :)

Hope this inspired some people!
