Love your body!

In the 50's this was considered beautiful. Clearly I am living in the wrong decade.

I am going to start by saying you need to love your body regardless of what size you are..seriously.
All people are built differently, all shapes and sizes. As long as you are honestly taking care of your body.. that's all that matters! Don't be going out of your way to do everything in your power to get to a size 0.. your body is not a photo-shopped model on a magazine, its your body.. and it will do what it can.

So my progress for the past 20 days has been.. random. I thought for sure i wasn't losing anything.. almost gaining it felt like. 3 weeks ago when i stepped on the scale i was 147, as of this morning i stepped on the scale and i am 142.5!!!! WOOOHOOOO.
excuse me while i toot my own horn! 
Everyone who tries to lose weight knows the feeling when you see the numbers drop! I was so excited.

My green tea is officially gone, and i believe 100 percent that, that helped keep me under my calorie goal without dying. i think that my stomach has now adapted to not over eating. I have been doing really well now without the tea. I also have come to realize something that i did before, that i am now currently doing, which would be routine. I remember eating almost the same thing everyday when i first started this months ago. At least breakfast and lunch wise, dinner was always something different. But i learned that if you keep the same routine with eating the same thing for breakfast and lunch it helps. I know that sometimes people will get bored of eating the some thing everyday, but for me it helps. Like for lunches i always have salad with chopped chicken. It delicious and i can always add different veggies. Plus it keeps me full without feeling crappy and bloated. I measure everything out, put it in some containers and boom, there it is ready to go.

So my starting weight was:149
Current weight is:142.5
Total pounds lost: 6.5
Goal weight is: 137
Pounds to lose to get to goal weight: 5

My goal weight is 137.. weird number i know, but its my GOAL weight meaning, i will keep on doing what i can to maintain that weight.. or possible lose more. I havent been under 135 pounds for a long time. and im totally content with that weight.. my body wouldn't be my body if it lost too much weight, shoot, i wouldn't have any curves left ;)

until next time!
