It's my favorite time of year!

School is out! The sun is shining! The boys are wild and crazy! It must be summer :) I swear that I have seasonal depression. If it is below 65 degrees, I cannot function properly. I need the warm air and the humidity. I'm such a happier and more productive person when the season is just right. Thankfully, living down south, the weather is just the way I like it a solid 7 months out of the year. We're a taking full advantage of the beautiful weather and spending lots of time outside!

Update on me:

The weight-loss has slowed, which it always does at some point. I am surprised and happy to report that I am 4 pounds away from the original goal I set for myself forever ago.

Weight: 159 pounds!

Arms: 11.75 inches

Waist: 31.5 inches

Bum: 41 inches

Thighs: 22

The inches are still coming off! I am so excited to see how my body is going to change throughout the next 8 weeks with incorporating some weight training and such :) My craving have finally started tapering off. I still want a beer and cookies every now and then but I've done well not caving in every time. Treat yourself every now and again though. Just because you are in the middle of a lifestyle change does not mean that you cannot enjoy a treat of you liking once in awhile :)

I've been getting lots of questions about what I am doing in regards to the weight loss. This wasn't planned. I knew that I needed to make some major changes for health reasons. My body decided for me when it was time to begin and here I am. I am making healthy choices, common sense. We are not following a diet plan as this is not a diet. This is a change in lifestyle. I am eating a tremendous amount of vegetables, fruits, and lean meat. That's it! Oh, and lots of water. I treat myself every now and then. I, thank goodness, have not had any issues with my stomach in two weeks and I really hope it continues.

Happy eating, y'all :)
