DAY 49 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 21 LBS

Really enjoying this success. So unlike the past when I've lost weight. At this point, 49 days into the latest diet plan, I would have started and stopped numerous times resulting in some weight loss followed by binge periods where I would gain all the weight back. I would definitely "be done" with whatever diet book/plan I had tried. At this point my size 14's would be fitting snugly again and I would be searching for the next, newest book, magazine or plan that would be the "magic" plan where I could finally lose weight and keep it off.

The best thing is I dont feel any pressure about being able to keep the weight off. I have truly changed my habits! What I am doing is sustainable the rest of my life.

I am actually giving my size 14 pants and shorts away along with several XL tops that are too big. Even though I have given my "fat clothes" away before, I've never given ALL of them away. I always felt like I was losing weight by the skin of my teeth and in the back of my mind I harbored tons of doubt that I could maintain whatever loss I had achieved.

This time there is a peace, calmness and confidence that comes from losing weight the right way (no extreme "Plan" that I know I can't maintain long term) and having my eyes on The Lord.

DAY 48 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 20.4 LBS

I feel especially good because I met 19 out of 20 goals for the 4 days I was at the scrapbook retreat. AWESOME! Normally, Scrapbook Retreat is synonymous with junk food, constant snacking, fattening beverages and meals, dessert, and no exercise.

This retreat resulted in healthy food choices, lots of water, daily exercise, time with God, enough sleep and SUCCESS! HEALTHY HABITS making a HEALTHY HEART.

What a Difference 20 lbs Makes

I have officially lost 20 lbs, never to be regained again!  I feel amazing.  Strong.  Capable.  Hopeful.  Able.  Positive.  These good feelings are partly because I am physically carrying around less weight. Pick up a 20 lb bag of dog food and see how easy it is to accomplish daily tasks.  The physical weight is a burden that significantly hinders every day activities.

However, as important as the physical burden that has been lessened, is the emotional and mental burden that has been lessened as well.  Meeting my spiritual goals of reading my Bible and praying daily has had as much of an impact on how I feel as the other 4 daily goals.  God's word truly is The Living Word.  It feeds me in a way that no food ever could.  The more I read and learn, the more I hunger for God's truths.  The more I pray, the more I think about praying and specific people/situations to pray for each day.  I feel better spiritually than I have my entire adult life.

In the past, when I have started a "new plan" to lose weight, it would involve some amount of deprivation.  There would be a LONG list of foods that I "COULDN'T EAT!"  Therefore, I would obsess over what I couldn't eat.  Then I would obsess about all the diet challenges I knew were in the near future such as dinner at a restaurant, birthday parties, traveling, etc.  Those consuming thoughts would create so much pressure that I would eventually "blow the new plan" and would resort back to old habits.  Those old habits of drinking coffee and Diet Dr. Pepper all day, rarely drinking water,  eating lots of high fat/high sugar foods, eating very big portions, eating late at night would all result in regaining whatever weight I had lost and leaving me in a perpetual state of defeat and depression.

With the GREEN vs. RED system, I can have anything to eat that I want to eat.  I CHOOSE healthy foods because I FEEL BEST when I eat them.  I don't obsess about off limit foods, because there aren't any!   I no longer view dinner at a restaurant as a diet buster.  I  view it as a challenge to eat something healthy and "GREEN GOAL FRIENDLY."  I have had many opportunities over the past 48 days to choose unhealthy foods.  I have simply made the choice not to eat them because eating those foods are not conducive to meeting my daily goals.  It is so simple.

I have been INTENTIONAL and CONSISTENT with choosing healthy food options, drinking my water, moving more, sleeping more, and spending time reading God's word and praying.  It has paid off in a big way as is evidenced by the pictures.

"BEFORE, 184.6 LBS"

April 27, 2013
"IN PROGRESS"
20 LBS GONE, 164.2 LBS

April 27, 2013
The SIZE 14 jeans are BARELY HANGING ON!  47 Days ago, I could barely GET THEM ON!

April 27, 2013
CONSISTENCY makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE!

DAY 47 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 20.4 LBS

Consistency is paying off. I hit the 20 lb mark today and it feels great! Plus, I successfully navigated two days of eating out and being at a scrapbook retreat for 3 days. Each small lifestyle change (victory over unhealthy choices) is very empowering. The more good choices I make, the easier it is to make them. It is really about momentum.

DAY 46 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 18.2 LBS

HUGE success! Was at scrapbook retreat yesterday and today, plus we ate dinner out tonight and I was GREEN for calories both days!! Huge improvement over past retreats. At home tonight but going back to retreat tomorrow and Sunday. Goal is to be ALL GREEN for both days.

DAY 44 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 18.2 LBS

Successfully navigated the first day of the scrapbook retreat. I only got 2 hours of sleep last night because I stayed up late getting things ready for retreat. However, I did boot camp this morning and once I arrived at the retreat, I took a 3 hour nap, read my Bible and did prayers. I feel good and so glad I have these goals each day to keep me focused.

I didn't bring my scale to the retreat so I won't be able to weigh in the morning. I will go home tomorrow night and will weigh on Saturday morning.

DAY 44 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 16.2 LBS

Although yesterday was tough and I recognized some unhealthy habits trying to resurface, I got right back on track today. I even successfully navigated going out for dinner at a wonderful restaurant before seeing "Wicked." It was a great day/ evening. Spending time with a friend who completely supports my healthy lifestyle and is living healthy herself really helped.

I have more thoughts on yesterday's challenges but I need to go to bed for now. Just glad that I have changed, because if I had experienced a day like yesterday BEFORE starting the GREEN vs RED system, my calories consumed would have been A LOT higher, I would not have recorded ANYTHING I ate all day, and it would have been the beginning of unhealthy choices which would have led to all the lost weight being regained.

DAY 43 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 18.2 LBS

As is evidenced by my card, today was my hardest day yet. I didn't eat anything unhealthy but I didn't measure what I ate this afternoon for snack or for dinner.

Also, I messed up my alarm and didn't get up in time to go to boot camp. That was a bad start to my day. Then as my husband says, I'm trying to fit 10 lbs of stuff into a 5 lb bucket. It isn't working very well and I found myself wanting to eat today because I felt overwhelmed with so many things to do.

Although I'm not at all happy with my card for today, I am glad I recognized my automatic reaction to the stress. It is already too late for me to get six hours of sleep tonight but my goal is to make the other 4 categories green tomorrow.

DAY 42 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 17 LBS

I was all green today. I have no explanation for why my weight has fluctuated so much over the last several days. I worked out hard over the weekend and was sore, so I don't know if I am retaining water because of the workout or what. I do know that I'm doing everything I can to be healthy. I'm sure my weight will go back down, I just have to be patient and keep focusing on meeting my daily goals. Eventually, the weight will come off.

In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy getting stronger, feeling better and and losing 17 lbs!

5 LBS OF FAT vs 5 LBS OF MUSCLE

Sometimes people say 5 lbs of fat weighs more than 5 lbs of muscle, which doesn't even make sense. 5 lbs weighs 5 lbs. However, 5 lbs of fat takes up A LOT more room and is LUMPY compared to 5 lbs of muscle which is compact and smooth. Plus, muscle burns significantly more calories than fat. So, when you build muscle and lose fat, your body looks better on the outside and operates more efficiently on the inside. That's a WIN - WIN situation.

DAY 41 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 18 LBS

I'm over on calories today, I think... I went to a boot camp seminar on nutrition where they had samples of food. I only had a couple of items but I don't know exactly how many calories I consumed. Then we ate a a friend's house for dinner and although the meal was very healthy, I didn't measure my food. So, all of that to say, if anything, I overestimated how much I ate and may not be truly over on calories. I'm guessing I'm pretty close though.

Bootcamp starts back up tomorrow. I did great exercising on my own this past week when we were off from bootcamp but I'm glad to have the structure of class starting back up.

Boot camp is also doing a three month challenge to see who can lose the most body fat. I should be a great candidate for the challenge. I can tell my body is much stronger but I am still carrying a lot of body fat. It is going to take a decent amount of time and consistency to change my body composition. I'm going to strive to win the 3 month challenge but my action plan will remain the same. This GREEN vs RED System seems to be working well.

DAY 40 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 18.6 LBS

40 days on the GREEN vs RED system and it has definitely gotten easier to stay on track. Today was my 6th DAY IN A ROW to be ALL GREEN!

My weight has really dropped the last couple of days. I'm thinking by body has decided that I really mean business since I haven't followed old patterns of eating large amounts of unhealthy foods for days or weeks after a period of being healthy.

Even when I was much younger and thinner, I would binge eat sweets. When I was in my early 20's, this behavior didn't effect my weight but as I got older this binge eating led to weight gain. Binge eating, less exercise (and eventually almost no exercise), 3 pregnancies and 20 years down the road resulted in a very unhealthy lifestyle. I found myself 50+ pounds overweight, physically miserable and losing hope everyday I tried to eat healthy and didn't succeed.

Thankfully, this system has gotten me out of those unhealthy habits and into new HEALTHY HABITS! I love being intentional about reading my Bible and praying daily too. Not only am I losing weight and feeling stronger but now I also have a HAPPY HEART physically, emotionally and spiritually!

DAY 39 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 17.4 LBS

Another green day. I feel great! I feel like I'm in a good groove now. I feel more like myself than I have in a very long time.

I look forward to exercising because I feel strong and healthy. I have always liked to exercise but quite honestly, I was SO out of shape and SO heavy I had to talk myself into exercising in recent years. Bootcamp has helped get me in better physical condition and the Healthy Habits have helped me get the sleep I need and drop some weight so I really feel like I'm getting some good results now.

DAY 38 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 16.6 LBS

4 Days in a row... ALL GREEN! Wow, it has gotten so much more manageable!

DAY 37 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 15.8 LBS

All GREEN for 3 days in a row!! Woohoo!

DAY 36 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 15.2 LBS

All GREEN today and I ran 3.5 miles this evening. It was more like a jog, a very slow jog, but once I started "running", I didn't stop. I actually felt pretty good while I was jogging, which I'm sure is due to all the running we do in bootcamp.

I've eaten really healthy for 2 days now and I'm really hoping my weight will drop tomorrow, since it has been exactly the same for 3 days in a row.

I've noticed lately that I have not craved sweets in a very long time. When I get hungry my body AND my mind crave healthy foods. I'm thinking my body has gotten used to having a steady blood sugar level and since I'm not binging on sweets and sending my body into insulin overdrive, the cravings have gone away.

Instead of feeling like I have to choose to be healthy every day, I'm beginning to think and act like a healthy person. Those healthy choices/ habits are becoming my normal (automatic) actions and it feels great!!

DAY 35 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 15.2 LBS

It was a good day- all GREEN! Heading to bed now so I can get some sleep!

DAY 34 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 15.2 LBS

I'm over on my calories today but I feel pretty good about the day in general. I had a big shock when I entered my food from lunch. We ate at McCalister's where I ordered a Savannah Chopped Salad. It has 440 calories which is reasonable. It comes with Sherry Shallot dressing which does not appear to be creamy. I assumed (incorrectly) the calories would be reasonable. The dressing has 450 calories! This information came too late, I had already eaten it. However, the manager said they have a lite Italian for 25 calories. That's what I will choose next time.

We finished off the night and the visit from family with dinner at a Mexican food restaurant. I ate 3 chips, some guacamole, and a blackened chicken salad with salsa for dressing. All in all, a pretty healthy dinner. Plus I exercised today as well.

I believe I navigated having company in town MUCH BETTER than I ever have before. Recognizing old, unhealthy habits AND learning new, healthy habits AND substituting the new habits for the old habits will take time. But each little victory adds onto the last one and it won't be long until the new habits are my real lifestyle.

DAY 33 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 16.2 LBS

Today was another good day. I ate extra meat on my taco salad tonight. I measured the meat so I knew how much I ate, I just didn't realize I was so close to the 1700 calorie mark and therefore the 2 extra ounces of meat put me in the RED!

My weight today is the lowest I've been at since I began the GREEN vs RED system. Good progress.

DAY 32 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 15.6 LBS

Sleep has been a challenge this week. I will be able to get my 6 hours tonight, but more importantly, I have stayed green in the other areas this week with company in town! Huge success! I have to say, I feel very good about that accomplishment!

It is almost unbelievable that I have stayed on track for 32 days. It helps to pray, read my Bible and drink water (a lot of water) early in the morning. Thinking back about all my dieting attempts over the last many years, I have never been this consistent with any plan. I have always "gotten run over by my own wagon" as the bootcamp trainer puts it. Usually this happened on weekends, around holidays, birthdays, when company was in town, when we traveled, when I baked, when I was stressed..... Hmm, I'm starting to see a pattern.

I was exhausted from sabotaging and defeating myself on a regular basis. It feels so much better physically, emotionally and spiritually to consistently practice healthy habits. With each healthy choice I make, I feel stronger and more able to make more healthy choices. I suppose it is a matter of momentum. Positive momentum. Before starting this system, I also had momentum, but it was negative, and it caused my weight to go up and my feelings of self worth to go down.

Even though I felt bad physically at 194 lbs (my heaviest) and 184 (my Green vs Red starting weight), and I didn't like the way I looked squeezed into XL tops and size 14 bottoms, and I really disliked putting on a bathing suit, my bigger problem was how I felt on the inside.

I consider myself to be a relatively capable person who can overcome obstacles and make the best out of a situation. No amount of determination or fortitude could change the unhealthy cycle of "all or nothing" thinking I was accustomed to in the past. Sometimes my "diets" would last for a week or two, sometimes just a day or two and sometimes I had been flattened by my own wagon at 8:30 in the morning on Day 1!

Eventually this type of self- destructive, "being run over by my own wagon" mentality turned into negativity, hopelessness (when it came to losing weight), anger, frustration, low self esteem, depression and in general feeling like a failure. I didn't feel like a failure because I was overweight, I felt like a failure because I set out everyday with the goal of eating healthy and taking care of myself and I continually failed at achieving that goal.

I'm 32 days into this journey, and instead of looking at the scale or how "perfectly" I have eaten to determine my success, I just have to look at 32 days worth of cards where the vast majority of goals are GREEN. And even better is the REDS DO NOT represent failures, they represent areas that I need to adjust so I can be the healthiest person, wife, mom, daughter, sister and friend that I can be. Now THAT kind of thinking is definitely MOMENTUM headed in the RIGHT direction!

DAY 31 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 15 LBS

I'm headed to bed now because I need to get in the green on sleep. Good news though, we have had company visiting for over 24 hours, and I'm still eating healthy and exercising!

Normally, having company equates to me going completely "wheels off" in the healthy eating category. I typically cook and bake lots of yummy, but not very healthy foods. Also, we eat out more, go to Starbucks, and in general indulge A LOT when we have company in town.

Our company will be here 4 days and 5 nights and we are planning in eating out twice. The first time was today for lunch. I had a great salad/wrap combo plate that was not only delicious but also fit within my calorie allotment.

We are going out to dinner tomorrow night. It's a small restaurant and the menu is not online. I believe I can still make a healthy choice and stay within my calorie budget. That's the plan.

Being INTENTIONAL and CONSISTENT with my choices are the two biggest reasons this GREEN vs RED system is working and will continue to work.

DAY 30 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 15.2 LBS

Another great day. 30 days into this process and I feel like a different person. I'm making healthy choices because I WANT to, not because I HAVE to...such a small difference in words but such a big difference in how I feel.

DAY 29 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 14.8 LBS

Needless to say, I was SHOCKED when my weight dropped over 2 lbs in one night. I figure my weight was up artificially due to eating at On the Border Saturday night. We ate dinner late, I was 600 calories over my goal and I ate chips which were salty.

However, regardless of how the drop happened, I'm going to take it, enjoy it and allow it to boost my confidence that this system is working.

Getting below 170 has been a mental/ emotional struggle for a long time. I just looked through my old Weight Watcher booklets to see the last time I weighed in the 160's. When I have time, I will actually create a chart of all the ups and downs of my weight over the last many years. But here are the basics. I attended Weight Watcher meetings semi- regularly from April 2008 through October 2011 (3.5 years!!). I lost A LOT of weight during that time. Unfortunately, I also gained A LOT of weight during that time. Here are the high- (or low) lights:

April 5, 2008: 184.4 lbs (first recorded WW weight during this period. I had attended meetings several years before)

April 16, 2009: 159.6 lbs (lowest recorded WW weight) I lasted about 12 hours at that weight and then I sabotaged myself. I was so afraid I wouldn't be able to keep the weight off, and I wouldn't be able to lose anymore, I felt very stressed/obsessed with eating and the scale. I didn't mean to sabotage myself, but in effect, that is what happened.

January 4, 2010: 193.6 lbs (highest recorded WW weight)

October 17, 2011: 172.6 lbs (last recorded WW weight).  So, after 3 1/2 years of attending meetings and weighing in, MY NET WEIGHT LOSS WAS A WHOPPING 11.8 LBS!


My struggle with getting below 170 happened In May 2010 about a year after reaching my low weight of 159.6 lbs.  I got back down to 170 lbs but could not, for the life of me, get BELOW 170!  I weighed in 4 weeks in a row. My weight was (170.0, 170.6, 170.0, and 170.4). I was doing everything I could do to get below 170! After that 4th week, I became so frustrated I went off the "diet deep end". My weight on the 5th week was 177.8 lbs! I'm pretty sure I haven't gotten below 172.6 lbs since that time (3 whole years!) and I've spent a significant amount of time weighing 185 - 195 lbs!

The term I think best describes how I feel right now is FREE! Free from the mental garbage that kept me in bondage to a "diet mentality" and the scale. Although I am super excited about my weight dropping, I am most excited because I feel strong and healthy! I love reading my Bible and praying every morning. I love not having cravings for sweets anymore. I love feeling hungry sometimes. The way I used to eat didn't allow my body to ever get truly hungry. It is very satisfying to eat a healthy meal when you are truly hungry!

One of the best things about the GREEN vs RED system is that I feel NO PRESSURE or STRESS about how I am going to keep this weight off this time.  I have truly changed my lifestyle.  I LOVE living a HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.  I LOVE that my kids and husband can see the difference in my eating and attitude.  I LOVE that I feel much more positive in general (more like my old self).  My husband and kids have been such an encouragement and are just as excited about all the GREENS as I am!

This is not a "magic" diet secret or special food, it is just being consistent with healthy choices.  If I can do this, ANYONE can do this!!!

DAY 28 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 12.6 LBS

Today was a great day. I exercised, drank 40 oz of water, prayed and read my Bible first thing this morning. My day goes so much better when I do these things in the morning.

I had a RED on sleep again. I have been so busy lately, I had to get some things finished before I went to bed last night. I knew I was going to have a RED for sleep and at 10:00 p.m. I still hadn't exercised. So I decided if I was going to be RED for sleep anyway, there was no reason not to exercise. So I walked a mile last night. I was glad I was able to meet that goal, but I prefer to get that completed earlier in the day!

DAY 27 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 11.8 LBS

So my weight was WAY up today. Normally this would be enough to send me into a self- destructive tail spin, however, that would be counter- productive to a healthy lifestyle. So, I just got back on track today. So simple. I have made it such an emotionally complicated ordeal in the past.

What's different this time? God. Grace. Forgiveness for not being PERFECT. PERFECT? How humorous, that I actually believed if I could just eat and exercise perfectly for a period of time and get my weight off, I would be able to manage my weight long term.

The problem is that I am not perfect and never will be perfect. Tremendous freedom is found in understanding I just need to do my best, show myself grace when I am off plan for whatever reason, and get back to being as healthy as I can be each day. I eagerly accept God's grace, I try to show it towards others, but have had exactly ZERO grace for myself.

God's grace through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus provides spiritual freedom. Modeling that grace toward others as well as myself, provides emotional freedom. It's a great feeling to be free.

DAY 26 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 12.8 LBS

Based on my calorie intake and a RED on exercise, you might think I did poorly today. However, I believe I had a successful day because I made several healthier choices today than I would have in the past.

1. We had an early volleyball game this morning and I didn't have time to cook my normal filling breakfast. BUT I did choose to eat a boiled egg (already cooked and in the fridge)

2. We ran errands after the game and stopped at the convenience store to get drinks. I was very hungry but I chose an unsweetened tea and waited to eat lunch when we got home.

3. I chose a healthy, filling lunch.

4. I knew we were going out to a birthday party at a Mexican food restaurant. I did eat chips and guacamole before dinner and although I didn't count out my chips, I did break them into 3-4 pieces each which helped me limit he amount I ate.

5. I chose a chicken fajita salad.

6. I did not eat the queso which was on every table.

7. I only drank water even though the margaritas looked yummy. I had to get my 100 oz in!

8. I did not eat a specialty cupcake that was served for dessert (even though people were raving about them).

9. Most importantly, I logged EVERYTHING I ate today. In all the years of trying to lose weight and keeping a food journal, I HAVE NEVER tracked my food on days like today when I don't eat according to plan. I just don't write it down because in my mind, it is so bad, I don't want to face reality. Interestingly enough, although I couldn't eat like I did today every day, occasionally eating out and going over on cslories is not going to ruin my healthy lifestyle!

DAY 25 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 13.6 LBS

Getting close to the 170 lb mark. In the past few years, this has been a difficult number to get below. I'm just going to stay focused on my goals and let the number on the scale reflect being "GREEN". If I reach my 5 goals every day, there is no reason to get worked up mentally about 1 particular number on the scale.

DAY 24 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 12.4 LBS

I was surprised my weight was down a little bit because we ate dinner late last night and my calories were above my goal. Of course my body has natural fluctuations that are going to be more obvious since I am weighing daily.

I am amazed that I haven't had the desire to go off the deep end and binge on high-sugar and high-fat foods. I've always thought my struggle was more food oriented, but 24 days into this journey, food choices haven't been a challenge yet.

In the past, I have believed in order to lose weight,I needed to eat "perfectly healthy" with no room (in my calorie allowance, or in my mind) for any "bad food". So, if I ate something that wasn't the healthiest choice, I would feel like I had blown my diet (failed) and I would then make 180 degree turn and binge. I would eat large quantities of unhealthy foods for a day, days or weeks at a time. Whatever weight loss progress I had made was thrown down the tube. I would then feel defeated, depressed and overwhelmed with my ever increasing weight.

Eventually, I would gear up with a new plan or diet book, and a big dose of determination that would be great until I deviated from the new plan and the entire self- destructive cycle would start again.

This system is different because no food is off limits. I have made healthy food choices because I FEEL BETTER, not because I am "not allowed" to eat something. Plus, the biggest benefit of the system is to get my focus OFF of trying to be "PERFECT" and get my focus ON GOD. Spending time in God's word every day and diligently praying daily has been more life changing than any amount of lost weight.

DAY 23 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 12.2 LBS

I felt great today, however, I think I went over on calories tonight. Didn't eat anything unhealthy, but I didn't measure how much I ate. I may have overestimated how much I actually consumed but I would rather estimate too many calories than too few.

I can't go to bootcamp the next two days because of scheduling issues so my challenge tomorrow will be to exercise on my own. I will still get up at normal time to work out.

DAY 22 - TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 11.6 LBS

I was hungry today but made healthy food choices. My hands feel swollen tonight because I had roasted veggies for dinner with kosher salt on them. I'm going to drink some more water before I go to bed.

All in all, I feel great. I feel like I'm getting a handle on all 5 areas and truly TRANSFORMING these DAILY CHOICES into HEALTHY LIFESTYLE HABITS.

DAY 21- TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 10.8 LBS

100% GREEN and 6.5 hours of sleep! I approached bedtime differently last night. Instead of deciding WHAT TASKS needed to be completed BEFORE I WENT TO BED, I decided WHAT TIME I needed to be IN BED to get at least
6 hours of sleep. Big surprise, this approach worked much better for getting my sleep. My sleep became the priority over the never ending list of tasks to be completed.

I felt great today and worked on accomplishing my goals as early in the day as possible.

Also, I had GRILLED CHICKEN NUGGETS from Chickfila for lunch and they were excellent. 4 fried nuggets are 120 calories and 8 grilled nuggets are only 160 calories. Nice healthy alternative when you need to pick up something fast
