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!

  1. Absolutely fantastic!!! I am so very proud of you. Having watched you venture out on new plans and ultimately fall back in to old patterns in the past I see a definitive difference this time. YOU are your own motivator and it has made all the difference. I hope you recognize how strong you are and how stronger you are making yourself by investing in the Word and time with God. You truly are on LONG TERM path for healthy habits and a happy heart!

    Only 1.5lb before we get a new picture!!! I expect to see that this week! :)

  6. I think the admin of this web page is in fact working
    hard in favor of his website, because here every data is quality
    based material.
