New Beginnings..... Again

Monday

Struggling on...... again....

But this time I have decided to make an investment in myself and hire a weight loss coach.

So far it has been the best decision I have made about my weight struggle and my health.  I have been meeting with him every 2 weeks for 8 weeks now and I have lost 32 lbs!!!!

It has really seemed to make a difference that I have paid the money AND made the commitment.

A few things seems better this time - I am getting rid of the bigger clothes as I outgrown them :)



I have even gotten a few "inspiration" pieces in my goal size - my favorite one is a Michael Kors jacket.  It is SOOO cute!

I even think i can actually image myself skinny!!

The plan is healthy food and exercise - wow, what a novel concept.

It is hard work, but it is a new lifestyle for me - just taking it day by day :)

One month as a vegan

Sunday

Well it has been a month and I am down 14 pounds, but more importantly, feeling like a  new person.  I can't remember when I have felt this energized.  I am amazed at the amount of food I am able to eat and still lose weight.

I have read all of the books at the library I can find on the subject and have tried a few good recipes.  One of my favorites so far has been the Veggie Meatloaf - it didn't taste just like the meat version - but I loved the flavors
