Week Nine

Well I didn't make my 30 by 30 goal but I still feel great and am so happy that I have lost 24 pounds so far!

With Christmas being this last weekend and having birthday celebrations this week I splurged and ate some sugar and some flour based items. So I didn't lose any weight, but I am happy to say that I didn't gain any either which is important! LOL! I am totally fine with it! I also had a nice surprise today when I went to try on pants and found that I am down another size so now I am wearing size 10 Hooray!!!

Week Eight

Merry Christmas! Candy, Cookies, Cakes, Pies, all around! I did really well avoiding it all. I wasn't even tempted and then my good friend brought me over a ginormous tray of goodies and told me that I needed to just take a little sample of some of them so I did. But that is all I have eaten this whole Christmas season!! Merry Christmas!

This week I didn't work out as much and I am getting so used to the eating that I don't even feel like I am dieting anymore. I am not really craving sugar or breads or pasta! It has been really nice.

Week one

(after week one photo, excuse the hair I had just worked out)

Well the first week (five days) I have been on this new life change have not been too bad. I have eaten the way I should and have exercised at least an hour every day ending the week with a 2 mile walk to and from my sisters house. I feel really good! I have had my craving moments but it's not as bad as I thought it would be.

Start

(this is the only recent full body photo I have)

I decided on November 1st that I want to lose at least 30 lbs. before I turn 30 in January. My sister had done a diet change where she didn't eat any simple carbs or sugar and she dropped her weight really quickly and looks totally awesome so I decided to do it. I am adding working out at least an hour a day and I hope that speeds the process up even more. I am starting at the worst time of the year because Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up but I want to show myself that I have the discipline to do it. On Thanksgiving I am planning on having just one piece of pie and two rolls but that's it! I hope I can do it!!
