My Diet Progress Update..

I'm really serious this time. You have to be serious in order to make it work. Before, I wasn't. I was a yo-yo dieter. One day I'd be on, then off. I can honestly say since January 9th, I have been EXTREMELY serious.

I'm all about getting healthy, being healthy, and living healthy. I want to be skinny by my 30th birthday, and that's 5 short months away.

In the last (almost) month, I have cut WAY back on my diet drinks. My new beverage of choice is water. I drink it all day long. I have cut out A LOT of my snacking. I don't eat after 6pm. If I do, it's sugar free jello, or a rice cake. But most of the time, it's just water.

I've cut back on my portions, because before? They were ridiculous. I don't have 'multiple' desserts with Chris at night anymore. That's on him. He is able to pull it off, I can't. For me, it's a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips. I was just eating to be eating, because he was eating. Not anymore.

I've started taking my daily vitamin again, every single day, and not just when I remembered it. I started using night firming cream every single night, and not just when I remembered yet. Yes, this is important lol I'm getting up there, I might as well start now. It's working, or so I'm telling myself it is.

I am proud to say that since January 9th, I have lost 11 pounds, and that is without exaggeration. My goal is to lose another 38lbs and then maintain it. Then I will be within a healthy range. If I lose more than that, then awesome.

I *WILL* do this. I will do this for MYSELF, and I will do it for my kids, and I will do it for my husband. I can't look back on this blog on my 30th birthday and not have lost anymore weight. So this is WRITTEN reminder, that I must keep going!

Wish me luck!
