Day 33 - Lose 25 lbs in 30 days

Weight: 226.

Alright, 33 days. I am thinking that's pretty extreme weight loss. I'm only working out 30-35 min. per day & I'm sticking to the diet as much as possible. (& I've been pretty strict, but I HAVE had some cheat days. Looking at my weight loss graph on LoseIt, I have hit a plateau for a day or two after I cheat, but then it's like I lose a few lbs overnight. (PS. I'm only cheating about once a week on things I usually really want to cheat on or on something with a friend. Even when I'm cheating, I'm picking healthy options... It's not like that first week where I pigged out on burgers. (ugh, I got so sick, too.)

Cheating allows me to
get a little needed mental break. (And sometimes it's just hard to make food for every meal. It's nice to have a cooking & taste bud break.)

I've cut out: cow milk, High Fructose Corn Syrup (I might have it on a cheat day because I usually eat out then.), processed foods (pretty much 98% of my food is not processed.)

The Jillian workout is tough. It's getting easier right now. I'm thinking that after the next 90 days of 'body revolution,' I might do something like... insanity, etc. Who knows.

I needed a break yesterday. I needed the rest & my body was refusing to do anything yesterday. I'm glad I let it rest.

I'm ready to crank it out now. BRING IT ON! LET'S GET SOME WORK DONE.

NICE.

THIS morning's breakfast was: 
I had quinoa for breakfast. 1/4 cup of toasted quinoa mixed with 1/2 cup of greek yogurt, a little (1/4 tsp of honey & some berries mixed in.) Probably 150 calories. I'm hungry and I've been craving ice water. I'll have that & see if I'm still hungry. I'll just have a bigger lunch to tie me over for the day.

Thanks everyone. I'm glad I've had well over a thousand people check in & read the blog. Cool!
