Thank you everyone!!
crispin - What has really been helping me is cutting out as many processed/GMO foods as I can. I've done a lot of research on what exactly is in all of our foods & I think having that better knowledge of what i'm really consuming has helped
tremendously. There are a lot of things that I won't even touch anymore. Not everything is safe, there are so many things that shouldn't even be sold in grocery stores, it's disgusting
. I prefer farmers markets now & whole foods stores.
I occasionally let myself have a pepsi or some chips as a 'treat'..because honestly I miss those flavors sometimes and I have those cravings occasionally .......but then the rest of the time i'm eating as 'clean' as possible. I drink lots and lots of water in between meals. As far as work outs go, I've been switching them up so I don't get bored with anything. I've been doing a different range of cardio workouts including HIIT, strength training, dancing, squats, zumba....my absolute favorites are Leslie Sansone's
walk away the pounds videos that I can do from home, I find them all for free on Youtube. I'm excited to continue on this path and we'll see how i'm looking in another month or two
