ok, so I was going to start another challenge a couple weeks ago, but on day 2 of the cleanse I realized that with my anniversary plans I wanted to be carefree, so held off.
So I am starting today & I am really excited. I'm feeling good & I am ready to feel even better:)
Weighing in at 150 lbs
This is pretty much the best pic I could get with my lens & no timer.
I gained 3 lbs back since my last challenge pretty much because I was slacking, & considering all my slacking, I'm impressed only 3 lbs came back. Besides it was just the water weight anyways.
I will make a daily journal entry logging my food & exercise.
If you want to do the challenge along with me check it out HERE.
or I have challenges at my home that you can come get and start tomorrow.
I've got 10 lbs to lose before swim suit season.
Oh i'm excited!
