Today is June 11th ten days after I started my ten day clean eating challenge. I was doing really good and lost four pounds but the last few days I didn't stay focused and gained some weight back. I think it was mostly that I didn't drink enough water and I hope to continue challenging myself week by week until clean eating becomes a habit rather than a challenge.
I have been doing pretty well with my exercising though and I can see a difference in my body. I would upload a picture but I can't figure out how so hopefully by the end of next week I will be able to!
Weight today was 206.6 lbs
Goal is still below 200lbs by the end of June!

June- BOOM!
Here is my June update post!
So for about three weeks after mother's day (which was great!) I lost all track and motivation on my weight loss, without acting healthy I was sluggish, grumpy and it was not fun. I eventually got started up again when I got shakology packets in the mail to try for free. They made me feel full and gave me back some energy and I went to the gym, I was overly ambitious and did 100 squats, 300 abs and a cardio workout. I was sore for almost a week after but because I believe I had built some muscle in the previous weeks of exercise I didn't gain as much back as I thought I would have. I started the end of may at 210 lbs. I got added to a mommy fitness group page on Facebook and they were starting a "ten day clean eating challenge" so June 1st I weighed in and was at 208lbs! I was already proud of myself.
Today is June 5th and I weighed in this morning at 204.0lbs!!!
Can you guys believe it?? I don't even remember when the last time I saw that number! It must have been when I was gaining the weight while pregnant!
My goals for June still stand:
1. Below 200lbs
2.able to run/jog on the treadmill for five minutes without stopping
3. (which should have been first) to stick to a program.
I am really excited and proud of myself. My under 200lb goal looks so close but so far away! Anyway, the clean eating challenge has really helped me out. I got a bunch of kale for .99 cents and it has lasted me a good week of making smoothies with frozen mango and strawberries and almond milk for one meal a day. Plus my wonderful, loving, supportive husband has been prepping all my lunches for work the last three days because I've had long shifts. I don't know what I would do without him. He is amazing :) I have had tuna salad with tomatoes and celery and cucumbers or carrot chips for lunch and it is so yummy! Especially with lime or lemon juice :) Oh and the almond butter! Oh. My. Goodness. Fresh made almond butter from whole foods has been amazing with celery or in smoothies, anhinga you could do with peanut butter you can do with almond butter!!
I think that is all I have rit now, just updated on my amazing weight loss, my awesome support system and my goals for the rest of the month. I will be updating again soon!
Ps. Thank you to all my friends and family who have commented on my posts with such encouragement I really appreciate every word! Thank you!
