My 2nd Challenge

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!

Seriously I was telling myself "don't do this!" then entire time, but after a long day with clients, busted sink pipes, urgent care visits with kids, I was pooped and really didn't care...... until now that it's 9:15pm and I feel like poop from that lousy dinner:(

March 16th Day 9: ok, so life is busy and stressful so Day 7 & 8 are now forgotten

And when I am stressed I don't eat. Actually this is a new habit. I used to eat when I am stressed and it has kinda reversed itself. Makes losing weight a whole lot easier, however I think I could do with out the stress. I think some shopping today will make things all better :)

Soooo life has been busy. If anyone is even reading this, sorry I haven't been great at my updating.

I have decided to finish after the cleanse because I am pretty much rocking this, catalyst & spark are what I will be taking for now.

I am maintaining my 19 lbs weightloss! Yay

I want to make it 20 lbs, just because how fun is that to say. "I have lost 20 lbs!"

Almost there:)

I promise you if you want to lose some weight before swim suit season and can't find a plan that works well for you. THIS IS IT!

I'll update again with some before & after pics with stats when I lose that last lb making it
