Second Week Completed....going down?

So I am down another 3 pounds!  That's a total of 7 pounds on the 24 day challenge!  I feel great, eating right now just need to add a little cardio.  This isn't easy and really am proud of myself for doing this.  I stop and wonder why the hell did I ever eat as badly as I did. 

Just think if I chopped my long locks of hair I'd probably loose another pound!  Oh but we could go on about what I could chop to loose weight.  One thing I am going to shoot for beside weight loss and I guess this is more of my reward if I get to my goal is that I do want get rid of the access skin that will accompany the weight loss.  I know right now it still won't look pretty under that shirt! LOL

Ok so anyway I don't think I ever listed what my target weight is.  On July 19, 2013 I weight 258, I had started my weight loss journey after my cousin got me my Fitbit.  I started my researching foods, exercise routines, and looking for self motivation.  I had recently been in the emergency room after a God awful gallbladders attack!  

So after researching diets to eliminate the chances of another gallbladder attack I quickly realized that if ya just eat the healthy fricken foods you won't have a gallbladder attack.  So first thing I did was cut out all sugary drinks (well accept my Tim Horton's large triple/triple coffee) I would try to remember to eat breakfast, always packed fruits for snacks and a nice salad for lunch.  The first week I lost 4 pounds.  The weight loss was slow but I had also stopped trying to hard.

Now with Advocare, it takes the stress out of starting a healthy life style.  You get a jump start with the 10 day cleanse, and if you can do it for 24 days how about another 24.  To have everything broken down for you and a chart to keep you on track it makes it easy!  I am loving myself even more and when you can love yourself and not worry about what others think you know you have the right attitude to accomplish anything you put your mind to.

My suggestions to anyone is get a pedometer, if you can get an electronic one like Fitbit, that's fine but the benefits of Fitbit and the resources you have on their website and mobile app make you accountable and put it right there in your face so when you eat that Cheeseburger you'll see it in your food log and the only way to change it is by you doing the right thing.  You know the old saying "Out of sight out of mind", EXACTLY FOLKS! 

Second suggestion start weekly weigh ins.  As soon as you get up, get on the scale and record it on your Fitbit app or whatever it is your using.  I choose Monday but I have to wait until I get to work because I don't own a scale.  AND ALWAYS USE THE SAME SCALE! 

Third start planning and preparing your meals ahead of time!

That's all I got for now!  I tend to ramble sorry!  (no really ha ha)

Until next time kids!  Drop me a message let me know your reading and tell me what your doing to start your healthy life!
