Sooooo let's start off with saying that I wish I had taken legit before and after pics, but holy crap is there a difference in my face that I didn't notice until now!! As we all know, I have struggled with my weight since moving to WI (or since, like, ever). I gained 15 pounds between May and November. However, I recently started on a new journey to getting myself in shape and back on a better path. And I have great news-I have lost 7 pounds in 30 days. 7 POUNDS, FRIENDS! That's amazing, and I am s o very excited and proud of this accomplishment. I have been kicking some butt and taking names with a new nutrition plan. A combination of protein based foods and shakes, along with working out, and being mindful of what I'm putting into my body is all it has taken me. I have more energy and am so much more motivated to get things done. Honestly though, it's the little things, like being able to use the next notch on my belt and having my shirts fit a little...
Well, I ate like crap and I didn't work out. I didn't snack at all this morning at work, including having any candy. A small success for a girl who never stops eating. I came home for lunch with the full intention of making something healthy for myself. And then I sat down and got really lazy. And there were cookies sitting next to me. There was just a few Oreos left in the box, so I figured why not. And that was the beginning of the downhill for me for today. I went back to work, and had a lot of candy corn (a seasonal favorite of mine) and had an orange soda. It's currently 9 PM and I haven't had dinner yet, despite the fact that I made sure to take out some chicken yesterday. I also did not work out today. So today is a big fail. But that's okay. I can only do better from here.
