Keep On Trucking

I’m sure you all remember that I’m trying to lose weight. How could you forget!? It’s been mentioned in like, everything I’ve posted this year! I’m sure you remember my before/after picture posted right after I started where I “lost” 30 lbs or something crazy. I don’t remember if I ever let you know…that I didn’t lose that much. My scale was broken! On the flip side, by that time, I DID lose about 15 lbs. That’s actually a GOOD thing, because I was scared at the rate I lost and terrified I would put the weight back on as quickly as it came off.

A couple days ago, I posted a pic on my Instagram of a before picture from November and an after picture from the beginning of March. I have lost 24.6 lbs (I like to round up to 25!) this year total. I couldn’t be happier with my success and I only want to keep going and lose more!

With that being said, I know what needs to happen. I need to swap my simple carbs in for complex ones. I need to lay off the sugary foods just a bit more and swap them out for some fruit (a NATURAL sugar) and drink more water than I have been! Besides the change in diet, I need to make SURE I am exercising at least 3 times per week, preferably 5!

My newest goal: Lose 20 more lbs by May 1st for a total lost of 45 lbs! Still a long way to go, but I am getting there!!!
