how i'm losing weight.

Making better choices and moving is my game plan.

That is definitely easier said than done but that's how I'm losing weight this year. You may remember that one of my three goals for this year is to lose fifty pounds and so far, I'm down seven pounds in two weeks. I'm quite shocked at how quickly it's coming off but I've been living lazily. My body is probably stunned that I'm treating it better and making it work out!

I'm still drinking coffee and orange juice but I've replaced soda and sugary juices with water.

I'm doing the 30 Day Shred and yoga, often both in the same day. Soon, I'd like to start running.

I'm limiting my carbs, staying within 1400 calories each day, and tracking my food.

I'm making healthier snack choices.

I'm working on craft projects in the evening so I don't snack after dinner.

If I'm still hungry, I eat a piece of fruit or have a mug of tea.

So far, this is working for me and I couldn't be happier. It helps to have the added motivation of a cash prize  in my six week weight loss challenge but the long term goal is what's more important. I want to get healthy, be a better role model for N, and feel better about how I look. 

Here's to forty three more pounds!

{and more, if I can do it}
