Ben has lost 34 pounds since March-- how awesome is that??? I have lost 28 since I had Minnie and really want to take off these last 6 before her birthday-- an arbitrary deadline, to be sure. The very weirdest thing is that I really don't miss eating like a crazy giant.
These pics were taken a year apart:
A few things that have helped me besides having Ben also eating healthy:
1. No alcohol: I don't miss it, and it's easier to make good food choices without it.
2. Chocolate chips: I eat them by the tablespoon, and they are the best sweet treat
3. A bedtime snack: It is so much easier for me to eat reasonable dinners when I know I have a small snack (usually a packet of lower sugar oatmeal with 1tsp of peanut butter and a few raisins) to look forward to after my shower.
4. Drinking a gallon of water every day: who can be hungry with that much water?!
5: TONS of exercise: my walk is Minnie's nap, so I can't miss it, and I love listening to audiobooks while we stroll. My Apple watch has been great to track exercise and motivate me to keep going, too.
What about you? Healthy habits to share?
That’s awesome!! You look great!
