One of the questions that I get asked the most is How Did I Lose the Weight?
To be honest, there is no special secret behind it. I was challenged by one of my friends, Tracy, back in June, to lose 50lbs by Christmas... two pounds a week and we could easily get it done. For some reason, that lit the fire and I strapped on my Fitbit (was a Charge HR then, now a Blaze) and started walking and watching what I was eating. I also upped my water intake and tracked my calories. It's been that basic formula the entire time... calories in vs. calories out. I try to have a calorie deficit of 1000 per day which SHOULD equal the 2lbs a week... sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't but that's what I try for each day. Clearly it's working and I will be staying with this plan until my body decides it's at it's natural weight... until it doesn't want to lose anymore and I am officially balanced and healthy!
WINS and CHALLENGES for the week:
I am actually going to stop posting this section as it's been 6-months (almost to the day) of this lifestyle journey and I don't necessarily have WINS or CHALLENGES anymore... just everyday living and that comes with both but unless it's something special to note, like Halloween, Christmas or some vacation, I don't think it's necessary to put them down on paper anymore.
HAPPY NOTE for the week:
It's SNOWED today... anyone who knows me knows that I love winter and snow and Christmas and ALL THINGS that relate to that! YAY!
While we are at it... can I just say that Tim Horton's has stepped up their holiday game as well...
WOOHOO! Let's bring it on!
