So, I’m a little late…

Good Morning Y’all! I am a little past late trying to get my month two stats posted… but it has been a busy, busy weekend! My boys were at camp for two weeks and we went t0 pick them up. The drive is only about 8 hours; however, Marcus didn’t get off work until late so we didn’t get to Knoxville until about 2am. We spent the night at my parents house and then made the last two hours on Friday morning. The boys were STINKY when we got there to pick them up. We took them to the hotel to let them shower and sleep while we took ALL their clothes to the Laundromat. The word funky doesn’t even cover it! LOL! We finally got back to the room and they were dead out! We had a wonderful weekend in Black Mountain and the Asheville area. We went to Tupelo Honey, explored the various vendors along the streets, shopped at Grove Arcade, spent hours at the Mast General Store, and watched fireworks. It was a fun weekend. The drive home was LONG! My husband is never in a hurry to get home… so we stop at every nook and cranny you can come to! We got home late on Sunday. I spent most of Monday at my mother’s house (no you aren’t confused… they have a house here and live in Knoxville). She and my dad are wanting to redo their kitchen and all the bathrooms… so I was with her while talking to the contractor and designer. I hope I have that kind of cash flow when I am her age. Gee. Anyway… here is what you want to know…

• Starting weight May 5, 2015: 300
• May 18, 2015: 270 (-30)
• Month ONE – June 5, 2015: 260 (-40)
• Month TWO – July 8, 2015: 239 (-61)

So basically, I lost 40 pounds in month one and 21 pounds in month two. You can see that the weigh loss has slowed down by about half… but I am OK with the results! I have gone from about a 24 to an 18. Matter of fact… I have to go shopping for a dress today because I have a wedding to go to this weekend. Let me get out of here so I’m ready when my mama gets here.

OH! As far as eating goes… I pretty much eat protein first and then take a nibble or two of veggies or fruit. My capacity is still pretty small. Never more than about 2-3 ounces (depending on the dryness of the meat). I eat slow and pay attention to how my stomach feels. When I think I am almost done. I stop. If I take another bite… you know, to get to the “done” point… it never feels good. So, when I think I am ALMOST done… I cut it off. It has worked really well for me.
