55 Pounds Gone!

I've lost 55 pounds since April! I've been walking at least 5 - 6 days a week. I've cut out sugar, sodas, sweet tea, candy, chocolate, milk, eggs, cheese (mostly), and a lot of meats. I've been doing smoothies and oatmeal.  I've went down from a 42 waist  to a 36. I am off of my blood pressure medicine, too! I started drinking green smoothies last week after listening to Dr. Brooke Goldner on the Plant Fit Summit.

Round Two!

I’m back! I got off the program after wrecking our van and our trailer catching on fire afterwards. It threw me for a loop and got me off tract. This week, through motivation from a friend, I decided to make some changes again! I walked two miles today - before work and at lunch. I’ll post more later about the change in my diet.

The scale may be off! I've been bad this week! I didn't walk any and I've ate a little fast food. I'm getting back on track Monday! 

Weight - 7/23/2016

I lost 2 more lbs!

Workout and Walk - July 20, 2016

I worked out at our local recreation center with my son and his friend tonight. We try to do a full body workout out at least 3 days a week, but get  2 days in some weeks. After the workout, I went for a walk outside. 

Morning Walk- July 19, 2016

Morning Walk - July 18, 2016

I walk on a dirt tract at a middle school close to where I live. I am on the only one that walks there. 

The MapMyWalk App

I use the MapMyWalk app to keep track of my walks and treadmill activity. It sends me a report at the end of every week.

Here are the past 3 weeks:

Welcome! - Two-fold Purpose of This Blog

One  purpose of this blog is to track my progress as I seek to get to weigh 213 by Oct. 13, 2016, which is my next doctor's appointment. I weighed 253 on April 11. The doctor told me that I was borderline diabetic. I like sweet tea and chocolate. Over the last 2 months, I have consumed very little of those two things. I have starfed working out with my son and walking in the mornings before I go to work. I am also eating healthier. I eat boiled eggs, salads, and yogurt. I am drinking more water, too.  On June 27, I weighed 237. Yesterday, I weighed 233. 20 more lbs. to go! Another purpose of this blog is to encourage others in their weight loss journey. Feel free to leave comments in any of the post here. Follow along as I strive to reach my goal!
