Fitness Fridays: My Loss is Your Gain

It's Fitness Fridays...a place for me to be accountable to MYSELF

as well as share with you my struggles and victories.

Last week I decided to post my weight. 

It's a number I hate.

The highest I have ever been (not pregnant).

174.2

ugh.

Fridays are my weigh-in days and this morning I KNEW I had lost...

and I was right!

Current weight is 171.2!!

YIPEE!!!

How did I do it?

First of all I have been a member of Weight Watchers on-line for nearly a year.

But...I never, ever would stick with it for more than a few days at a time.

THIS week was different.

I logged EVERYTHING I ate.

And guess what?

I lost!

I ate mostly lean meats...chicken, lean beef and salmon...paired with veggies.

A TON of veggies!

Salads, peas, red peppers and cucumber slices are my favorite.

I also ate canteloupe, strawberries and bananas.

This week I found the MOST delicious cure for my sugar cravings...

fruit smoothies made with coconut almond milk.

Just TWO points for the WHOLE thing.

Oh my goodness was that good!!!

I didn't work out like I had planned...logged just two workouts this week.

I am hoping with this nicer weather I can walk outside...my step goal has been 8,000 steps a day

but I know 10,000 a day would be ideal.

I feel like I CAN do this.

If you ask me what's different this time all I can say is I am TIRED of being TIRED.

I have also cut out ALL dairy and ALL wheat/bread/pasta.

I did this more than a month ago and I feel FANTASTIC. 

My energy levels have improved from me wanting to sit on the couch because I was exhausted to me bouncing out of bed and going ALL day with energy to spare!!

If you have any questions about Weight Watchers or foods I eat or anything related to my post just 

leave in the comment section and I will get back with you!!!

On a totally different note...
