Finally Kept My Date With The Scale.....

.... and it wasn't sooo bad. In fact (drum roll) I have lost .4lbs since my last weigh in almost two months ago! I thought for sure I was going to record a gain since my eating wasn't so hot for a few weeks and I haven't been working out with the same zeal I once had. But... I worked out today and I feel really good. :) Here are days 11,12,13 and 14 of my 21 day food challenge:

Some entries are not so hot but there is more good than bad and as we all know, this is a journey with many ups and downs but it's who you are in between that counts. :)

I damn near had an aneurysm when I got on the scale today. HOW?! Well it truly is time to buckle down and get healthy. I am starting to walk my talk. I have to lead by example for my clients since I am a massage therapist. People are always asking for advice for stretching, working out and what they can do food wise for there bodies in order to make them healthier. I can just imagine what they are thinking when I start to tell them how important water, healthy food, exercise and stretching is for them. "What does she know about it?"

Well, starting now I am speaking from experience!
