*SlimmerMe's Progress Log- (part two)*

[SlimmerMe]

50 DAY UPDATE

Started this challenge 50 days ago. Challenge: lose 20 pounds in 12 weeks.

Since the beginning of the challenge: Total lost 14 pounds.

I started between Christmas and New Years. I stopped in my tracks to get back on track.

NOTES:

Slow wins this race. Slow and steady and consistency and making good, better, best choices.

I pick what I know I'll stick to.

Baby steps-- which circles back to slow wins the race.

And although since the beginning, I've lost 14 pounds, I am only counting 9 pounds. Reason? I want to challenge myself to take 20 off the pre-Christmas scale number, not post Christmas scale number. So on that note:

Official count: 9 pounds off.

Total cardios: 64
Total upper body workouts: 18 (3 per week, started 2nd week)

Created my own protein bar recipe.

COMING SOON: Lower body workout. (Possibly tomorrow)

Thanks for your encouragement, your support and super duper tips.

Thanks for following~

BG got me hooked on the Greek yogurt a while back. I buy the large containers of Chobani plain and usually throw a little cinnamon and Splenda at it or a tsp. of sugar free chocolate syrup. Actually isn't too bad.

[RaginCajun]

Ramped up the weights yet missy?

Yep. I've bought many a plenty big plain Chobani's too. Great texture. Plus do the splenda. But now I have a new idea. Sugar free chocolate syrup!! Yum. THANKS! Great tip

Appreciate it, AlmostGone.
