HEALTH CHALLENGE: WEEK 1

Yesterday after weeks of being put on rest (no activity) I was getting antsy just sitting around with all this extra flab. By sitting around I mean I can't work out, walk too much, do any body weights...nada. Running a few errands is the extent of my allowable actions.

And as frustrating as that is I finally realized I'm not totally helpless to still reaching my goal of getting my weight down. I still have control over my diet. I recruited my hubby to create a buddy program that keeps us accountable for our eating. Yesterday being our first day was extremely difficult, we kept complaining.

But sticking to it gets easier...and easier...and easier.

Below I've shared constant tricks and tips that have worked for me. These are tried and true and used consistently they will shred lbs off. KEY WORD: Consistency.

And so the challenge is back. But with no physical activity I have to be realistic about my goals. So my goal this week is to lose 2 lbs.

Starting weight: 154
