Day 57: Week 8 Checkin: My Progress

Well, I can't say I'm totally back on track, but I felt like this weekend I was able to get caught up a little on "getting it together".  I really thought I had blown it with all the "drive thrus" that I had given into, but I got up on that scale and realized the damage wasn't nearly as bad as I thought.  I think the "monthly" bloating makes it worse than it really is, don't you?  Anyways, I wanted to share one thing that I have kept up with and, boy, it sure has made a difference!  Collagen!
The Wonder Powder!  Paid around $15 for this jar.

Trim Healthy Mama uses collagen in a lot of different things to help with regeneration of cells and joints and other things to make you healthier.  They offer their own product that is very reasonably priced.  I wasn't so sure about it, so I wanted to try it before I bought it from them.  I found some at Natural Grocers.  I usually put it in my hot tea (they recommend Rooibus or Oolong, both found at Natural Grocer) along with some whey protein (unflavored) and some MCT Coconut Oil (verdict is still out on this one).  I wiz it all together in my blender and it makes like a cappuccino, or frothy drink.  Let me tell you, I have seen some amazing results already....
Lots of New Hair!
Imagine how surprised my hair stylist will be when I go back to her next week after only 2 months and all these new hairs are growing!  And my skin has improved on softness and clearer.  So, we're going to continue this product and buy some THM as soon as my current one runs out.  Alright, now for my most unfavorite part of the post.  The pictures.

So, I might have backtracked a little, but I will move forward this week.  Thanks for your continued support and prayers.  I have a busy work week this week and need extra energy.  And to stay away from fast food:)

Day 52: Check In: My Progress

I have done so poorly in keeping up with my 100 day challenge.  Truth is, these last 2 weeks have been rough in staying the task.  I feel like my Vitamin D might be down again and need to get into the doctor to get "supercharged".  When I'm not charged I am exhausted and have little motivation to get er done.  This has been me the past 2 weeks and I have slid back into some of my old habits of fast food and chocolate.  I always wish that someone could just do it all for me, but the reality is, I'm the only one who can do it for myself.  No trainer, no therapist, no doctor, no partner can make me do it right.  I have to be good to myself.  Everyday.  So, I'm going to show you the last pics taken (last week) and skip this week's pictures.  I will start fresh tomorrow and give myself grace for my bumps in the road.

Day 36: Week 5 Check In: My Progress

I did a round of fuel cycle this last week and finally....
Weight Loss!  Woo hoo!  
Picture in Real Time

I lost 4 pounds this week and was finally able to fit in these pants!  I am excited for that!  And the cool thing is, I finally fit in these jeans I got at the Salvation Army for $.49!  I will celebrate by going shopping with my Jen friend for $.49 day today! :) :) :) :)  I have had some yummy foods that I will share when I get a chance.  I have sucked at keeping up the blog, but I will try to be better this week:)




Here's the official pics:
