Blowing Goals Apart

A couple weeks ago I set another goal of losing 75lbs by March 15th, considering I was sitting pretty at a 60lbs weight loss. I found this to be a realistic yet somewhat challenging goal. I never thought in a million years 21 days later I would already be at a 72lb weight loss!! What a wild ride the month of January has been! I'm enjoying every minute of it and holding on tight to see where this roller coaster leads me! The one thing that I can say has remained consistent is my diet. I may have missed going to the gym for two weeks while recovering from my surgery but I never faltered from my diet. The key to this journey is consistency, the weight is going to fall off eventually. Don't get discouraged if you have a bad day or a bad week on the scale, eventually the numbers will show up!

I've set a new goal for March 15th, 85lbs!

A lot of people ask me what I'm eating, so I thought I would share with you.

Breakfast: Chobani Greek Yogurt mixed with Kashi Go Lean Cereal
The combination of the protein, whole grains and fiber keep me full and feeling satisfied all morning.
If I workout before work I will drink a protein drink that has 30 grams of protein in it after my workout.
Mid Morning Snack- A piece of whole fruit. Apple, banana, or sugar free apple sauce.
Lunch- Salad with a lean protein on it. ( lunch meat, boiled egg whites ) sugar free pudding or applesauce.
Dinner- Well balanced dinner, a lean protein, lots of veggies and a whole grain

I drink at least 100 ounces of water a day. I cut out all diet soda and allow myself sugar free drinks such as crystal light. I chew my fair share of sugar free gum when I feel like snacking. I really try not to eat any snacks after my dinner.

So, there you go. There is my diet in a nut shell.
