Tomorrow marks 8 weeks since I've started my "healthier me" journey. I've been doing Beachbody for 8 weeks and walking for 6 weeks. I've changed how I eat, slowly. I LOVE food, so giving up the junk food has been hard, but I'm noticing more and more that I WANT to eat healthier and crave the healthy foods...
This is the end of my 8 weeks, alas I will have to complete my 8th week next week. I've been sick this week and feel like a truck ran me over. I walked 3 days this week instead of 5 and have not done my beach body work out b/c I couldn't manage it. I'm still working on eating healthy. :)
But in 8 weeks I have lost 7 pounds. I was hoping for a bigger loss, but excited for the progress I've made. I've also lost 6 inches overall. My clothes are fitting better and people are starting to notice that I'm smaller. It's kinda nice :) I have 18 pounds to go before my 35th birthday, and 4 months left! I think i can do it! I'm excited.
So what am I doing? People keep asking...
I follow the beach body nutritional plan. I bought these knock offs on amazon for $10. You follow the serving size containers according to how much you want to lose and calorie intake. I allow 1200-1400 calories per day. So that is 4 red containers (protein), 3 green containers (veggies), 2 purple (fruit), 2 yellows (carbs), 1 blue (good fats) and 1 orange (dressings and such). I eat all that per day. Which I am "supposed" to eat it everyday, but I can't eat all that in 1 day. It's actually too much food. lol I'm slowly trying to figure out healthier recipes and one of my new favorites is salad. :)
