Day 75-86

its been a while since my last update, but thats because i've been massively busy and not a whole lot has changed. since i am no longer doing the drops anymore and am trying to focus on a healthy eating lifestyle, my weight obviously fluctuates. However, today, i weighed in at 199lbs! i'm officially under 200 for the first time in at least 5 years! The best part is, i'm not depriving myself either. I'm simply having small doses of the things i like. moderation is key! you don't have to blow it big time, you can allow yourself dessert once in a while. you can have that little treat from starbucks sometimes as long as you stay within your calories. i havent wavered from counting my calories and i know its helped me tremendously. HCG was a great stepping stone, but losing weight the natural way just feels right. i dont want a ton of excess skin from losing weight so fast! and i certainly dont want to get any surgeries for it.
I know my weight is going to fluctuate up again this week, but i'm hoping that by staying within my calories, i can make it go down even further.

wish me luck!

Day 70-74

Trying hard to stay on track in the real world. My weight is still fluctuating between 202-206 but i'm trying to eat better to make it go down. I'm sure if i exercised now it would help a lot and i could eat the amount i am (which is between 1200 and 1500 cal a day). If i want to eat the upwards of 1500cal a day, i need to work out to lose because otherwise i gain or maintain. My body is so weird.
I've been trying to take a little break from everything to recharge my batteries, but i see a need to start working hard and eating better (and by better i mean having 400cal or less meals 2 times a day plus fruit for snacks). I did have a pre made caeser salad from trader joes today and it was amazing! It will be a nice pre made thing to have around when i'm too busy to cook lunch.

Getting healthy is a never-ending struggle. Be it with food or exercise, its tough for everyone. Only by practicing it can we strengthen our willpower enough to actually stick with it and make it slightly easier.

Food for thought xo
