I guess May is almost over, but I've been struggling the whole month to get on track, and it's been very on-again, off-again. Today, however, I'm ready to do this!


when are you starting: may 29
what is your goal weight 135
what is your diet plan: calorie counting, focusing on making sure I'm eating enough fruits and vegetables on a daily basis instead of reaching for carbs & fats
what is your exercise: strength & cardio; I'm also remodeling and painting my apartment this summer with my boyfriend, which, thus far, has proved to be a test of my physical endurance and strength for sure.

MsShaybabe: I started by cutting out all refined sugars, all soda, all bread, all rice, etc. This won't be permanent. I'm slowly reincorporating healthy carbs, like whole wheat pasta and fresh fruit. But to start, I cut them all out. I concentrated on eating more veggies and lean protein (chicken, turkey, fish, etc.) The easiest way to do this is to get into the habit of reading nutrition facts labels. You'd be surprised how much sugar can be in things that you wouldn't expect.
