2 days to go

Recap: For the month of July I have been focused on a change of diet. I have been reducing the dairy, carbohydrates and sugar that I eat. I have been doing this to avoid future health problems and hopefully lose some more weight. I gained a lot of stress/southern cooking weight and have been working about 2.5 years to lose it.

I have 2 days left. I think I have done fairly well making this lifestyle change, but it was not easy! I did not always stick to it. Luckily, I don't HAVE to eat this way, so when I 'slip up' I can easily get 'back on track' without guilt.

Losing guilt was a big deal, along with learning what to do when I was over come with hunger. Bread, pastry, and cake was always my go to food when the tummy was growling.

So right now I weigh 128.4 lbs. I am 3.4 lbs from my goal of 125 lbs. I give myself 6-8 more weeks of keeping carbs, sugar, and calories down to meet this weight. I probably would have passed my goal by now if I was exercising. Eventually I will get over my aversion to being hot.

Thanks to everyone who encouraged me in this change. I will be continuing my blog with a new topic in August.

Live healthy everyone!
