Less than spectacular.
With my Mom and Sister coming in from Canada this Saturday, I've been stressing big time. I've been trying to get the house completely in order, only to have it destroyed in 5 minutes.  There's been a lot of comfort eating.  As usual, my weight went up close to 180 over the weekend. I guess when you factor that in, my weight loss was pretty good.


I've decided to start eating clean.
Most of my diet is already "clean" but I have a weakness for diet soda and my protein bars. I can't seem to find much out about it online without the website trying to sell me a book. My understanding is that if it's something you can grow or hunt, then it's okay to eat. That leaves me with fruit, veggies and proteins. I like everything plain and simple so it should be easy to make the final switch. I also only eat raw veggies. They joys of being a picky eater.




I'm trying to figure out how to reduce my body fat.
By my calculations, my current body fat is 26.28%. At the beginning of May it was 29.96%. Once I figure in my weight loss for the time frame, almost all it came from "fat". This is, of course, according to the results from the calculator. I can feel my boney hips, ribs and see them in a few other areas. So when I look down and see this big 'ol belly it makes me scratch my head. Not sure how much elasticity is left to my belly skin. I was overweight for a few years before I got pregnant with Brye. With both pregnancies I was H-U-G-E. I know there's still fat in there with all that skin. I think I'm going to try and focus reducing body fat.





I guess as I get closer to my goal that everything is going to start slowing down.
That stinks.
