I was feelin bad...I was feelin mighty low...until...

So I was feeling a little down about not being able to stay out of the 150s. My goal is first 140lbs and then 130lbs. Anyhoo, yesterday I pulled this blog up for a friend to show her something and I ran across this post. Somehow, it had slipped my mind that I used to be 180lbs!!! I'm feeling pretty good about myself right now. I'm not at my goal, BUT I can say that I haven't gone back to 180 at any point during this 3 year (?) journey. I know what doesn't sound like a lot, but it means something to me.

Sometimes the health gods are merciful and will give you a little encouragement that you weren't even looking for and didn't even fully realize you needed.

Btw, I ate 4 oranges in one sitting and I felt GREAT!!! That would technically be considered a mono meal. I think I'm falling in love with those. What is my family going to eat? Every man and child for themselves perhaps? lol

1 Month Update!!!

Greetings Family!!! Today is my 1 month up date and I'm so glad that I don't have to be humiliated by failure! To be honest, I'm not where I thought I'd be, but that's because I didn't starve myself with cleanse after cleanse, but instead am trying to INCOPORATE cleanses as a natural complement to good eating habits.

So a month ago I posted my weights and such so here is the update for this month.
Height
5'2" (I'm 34 so that isn't going to change. lol)

Weight
Last Month: Pre-colon flush 169.4 After flush 166.4
This Month: 157.2 (I do fluctuate between 157 and 160 depending on the time of the day and my discipline that day.)

Chest
Last Month: 39"

Waist

Before-Notice the chin and stomach specifically

Before-Notice my width. lol

Trying to get a pic of my sweat from walking on the treadmill

Can you see it? Can you see my beautiful sweat?!?!?! Oh wait! I almost forgot. I don't sweat I GLISTEN...

I don't know why I'm leaning like that. I think I was copying my daughter who was taking the picture. lol Not quite so wide this month!!! YAY!

My chin and gut are melting away!!!

I can truly say that I am enjoying this journey for the first time ever. I am learning so much. This time it is about getting healthy and releasing weight is just what happens when you eat like you should. I'm not saying that I always get it right, but I try!!! lol

Picture Update

We were on our way to a beautiful wedding that we were REALLY honored and excited to be a part of. Titus decided to take the pic, probably because I don't put on "real" clothes that often between work and homeschooling. Anyway, this old standby outfit is a good gauge for me to measure my size as it use to be a lil' snug to say the least. Anyway, just thought I'd give you a lil update.
