New Goals, New Tools, and and Update...
I know it's been a while since I posted. Since February I have been dealing with a lot of family drama, my own food addictions, and being sick again. Yes, derailed again. But you can't keep me down for long and once again I was at it in March with some new tools like My Fitness Pal, some new goals in walking and exercising EVERY DAY, and cutting my carbs in half. I've already been six months free of artificial sweeteners, and my body is loving that.
I have lost 16 lbs since March. I started out at 211 and now I'm down to 195.... I haven't been under 200 in over six years. My key to that. Walking. Walking every day. Soon I am going to be integrating Yoga and strength training into my regimen. All baby steps. My body tends to take four steps backward if I push it too much, so I'm taking everything step by step.
Nutrition wise I still need to get in a more plant based diet and work on cutting out the refined sugar carbs. As for eating whole foods, that has been going so much better. There are NO BOXED MEALS in my pantry. I do have canned tomatoes and beans, but everything I have is fresh, frozen fresh, and in my veggie crisper.
Here are a few of my progress pictures.... some where taken tonight. I've gone from a size 20 pant to a size 16 and I'm no longer shopping in the Plus section for my tank tops..... I still need to work on my arms, some resistance band and kettle bell training will do with that, and my core... well, that's a given. Time to start planking and burpees..... Sigh.
