Weigh In Wednesday #3

This morning I weighted in at 191.
That's four pounds down from last week.
I worked really hard this week
I worked out every single day
{Some days TWICE a day}
I swear I've done enough squats and lunges I thought my legs would fall off
The constant fatigue in my body is something I'm starting to enjoy
It's a proud feeling...
I ate rite & stayed with in my calories every day.
I fell great, I have tons of energy.
It's awesome to finally feel good.
Really good.
I've worked for it.

Something I've started to focus on instead of looking at the big picture is the fact that every day I get fitter. Everytime I work out I get fitter. Everytime I make a choice to eat the right foods I.get.fitter.

It's so important to focus on the small victories, daily, hourly, hell minute by minute it's tough to loose weight, it's tough to make the right decisions with food, and find the motivation to exercise...but if you do everything right well mostly right you will succeed! You will always get out of your body what you put into it.




Eat junk and you will become junk, eat healthy and you will become healthy
I've made a decision this week...Kind of a big one. One of my girlfriends was over the other day, she's been eating vegan for a month and has lost twelve pounds! Her mid-section is insanely smaller, she says her energy is up, she sleeps better, her period is shorter, and her cramps...what cramps!?!

Dairy is bad news everywhere you look. Almost half of the calories in whole milk come from fat, and nearly all of its carbohydrates come from sugar. When it comes to your

weight, dairy has twice the calories of carbohydrates. Making the dairy you consume twice as likely to cause weight gain than if you were consuming the same amount of carbohydrates. Extra calories the body cannot use are stored on the body as fat, regardless of their source. But when those extra calories are coming from a high-fat food, you are doing your body a double disservice. Overall dairy is bad for weight loss...

Here are a few pictures I found of women who went vegan {no dairy-no meat}...after just a few short weeks, their bodies are completely transformed! Their results really just make me want to give it a month or two...try it out see how it goes.

can you believe this one...FOUR months.
That is AMAZING

Now I'm not going to go all crazy, throw away all my leather shoes never gonna happen, I'm not going to protest naked in Central Park, I am not going to stop shaving my armpits, dread my hair and start using vegan beauty products...for me "vegan" is not a political stance...which is why I'm not identifying with it. I'm not calling myself a "vegan" though essentially I will be.

I am simply cutting out most dairy and meat products, particularly red meat, for the next 6 weeks. I'm still going to be drinking my whey protein, even though it is a milk based product, I'm still going to eat eggs, and I'm still going to eat chicken {I barely eat it as it is, but sometimes I like it on my salads}. I'm going to also be changing Addy girl's diet. We are going to basically still eat all the soy versions of milk based products...butter, yogurt, almond milk, cheese, sour cream. You would be so surprised how little you actually have to give up to make this change. I don't know yet if this will be a permanent thing for us LaPoint girls. I have a feeling we will end this little trial feeling much better
