5 months out!! 63 pounds gone!!

I'm feeling so good! I can walk, get on the floor(and back up), no back pain, no knee pain...I could go on and on.

I have more to lose, but these pounds off have made a huge difference in my quality of life!

Let's see. my typical day goes like this:

Breakfast: 12 oz coffee with 2 scoops of protein powder, blue agave sugar, and on Sunday's I add an almond joy creamer. 48 grams of protein out the way!

Lunch: if I eat any it is usually something very small. I don't usually get to feeling like I need something until around 3-4pm. I can have a lettuce wrap. Turkey, cheese w/ ranch in a lettuce leaf. (I like the butter lettuce b/c it rolls well and w/o tearing up)

OR a piece of fruit/cheese or yogurt with healthy granola i found and flax seed.

Supper: I don't eat any white bread, rice, potatoe, pasta. (I have found black bean tortilla at sams that I love.) Whatever I cook for my family is what I eat just altered to exclude the above. I feed them quinoa, fresh veggies.... and they pretty much eat whatever sides fit my diet better. I adjust my meat to their tastes. Which I'm very lucky and don't have picky kids or hubby!!

I do have sugar free snacks and make sugar free stuff to snack on but usually I'm so busy I don't need it.

My goal is to lose 10 pounds a month.

I still have a hard time getting in all the water but it is getting better. water on an empty stomach makes me very nauseas! I still add lemon and that helps a lot!

All suppliments are still the same.

Only thing is I find my hair is falling out A LOT!!! hopefully it's from surgery and will slow down. kinda scary!! sure don't want to be skinny and BALD..

I do excercise. I walk outside with my boys and have an eliptical. 45 minutes on that is all I can handle!

Minnie has given me quite the fright a couple of times.

I went to have some dungenous crabs on a date night. DELISH! Minnie loved them!! And I loved them a little to much! On the "last" bite I swallowed some spicy juices and had to drink something. Just a sip to quit choking. OH MY WORLD!! it was a horrible time. lol

I foamed and spit till I had a puddle beside my car! NEVER again will I ever push Minnie to that point!! I ALWAYS leave room for a small sip just in case I should need it!!

And I have to be very carefull of vinegar. Very little vinegrette on my salad!! Or there will be a foamy mess!

Haven't actually thrown up food, ever! Just the foamy stuff. THANKS GOD!

I def. respect the "last" bite warning!! And I've learned to be content with whatever that amount is. lol

No eating more later just cause it was good!! NO GRAZING!

Well, that's about it for now. I hope ur journey has been as successful as mine. I get so many compliments now on my weight loss. People can really tell that I look smaller. For a while only the close friends that saw me realized. Now even the not so close friends look twice and make a comment! Feels good to be working hard and people can see the results...Finally!

Used to aggrivate me how some "skinny" people can lose 10 pounds and it look like they lost 30 and went down 2 dress sizes!! Now I'm finally making headway! And I can celebrate in action instead of just a "celebration dinner"!!!

I am determined to do a color run! I may walk it but I will do it!!

Enjoy your VS journey!
