Nothing starts my weekend off the right way better than a good weigh in:

Starting Weight: 282.8 Pounds

Last Week’s Weight: 256.8 (which I just realized looking back at last week’s post I recorded 264.8 which was a few pounds off, and thank goodness that wasn’t true!)

This Week’s Weight: 252.2

Total Week’s Loss: -4.6 Pounds!

Total Loss: 30. 4 Pounds

What worked this week:

• Continued with my 90 day no caffeine rule (I have since turned it into a no carbonation at all rule).  I don’t think I realized how badly an effect caffeine and soda (even diet soda) were having on my body.  I’m not going to lie, I truly believe I have been seeing such great losses these last couple of weeks because I have 100% cut it out.
• I continued to eat a 90% Plant based diet.  And I have a secret arsenal that I will blog about later that has helped me kick chicken stock (something I’ve been having a hard time letting go of).
• I have been doing some form of exercise everyday even if it is cleaning (which I did for 5 hours on Monday, and that burned some major calories).
• My hub’s was eating healthy as well.  It is so much easier to eat healthy when your significant other is on the bandwagon with you!  I cannot stress this enough and besides the whole caffeine thing having my hub’s really trying at being healthy helped me out enormously!
• I tried some new recipes.  Healthy eating is always more fun when you are trying different things.  I even measured out a vegetable dip that I made today and I will share the recipe with you all next week.  Getting creative in the kitchen is so much fun, and cathartic if you ask me.

What a great way to start off a weekend!  The hub’s and I are going to the big city to do food shopping tonight and I mentioned going out to dinner.  He told me he does not want to sabotage his weigh in on Monday, and I could not have been more pleased with that response.

Have a great weekend everyone!
