Why am I losing weight??? Well here are the top 3 reasons:
1. My health needs to improve.
2. My sister is getting married in 6 months.
3. I need to be more confident about myself and my looks.
2 cups of low-fat or skim or soy milk per day
Water (as much as you like)
Oatmeal (1 cup per day)
All herbs and spices
6 oz. low-fat yogurt (2 times a day)
4 egg whites per day
2 cups of herbal tea per day
If something is not on the list. YOU CANT HAVE IT!!!
Period.
I also hired a personal trainer. Her name is Shellita Boxie and she is wonderful. I meet her for about an hour and 15 minutes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. All other days I am required to do at least 30 minutes of cardio on my own.
As of March 30 I have lost 12 pounds.
My goal is 75 pounds by August 25 for my sister's wedding. I have a goal weight loss of 140 pounds over all.
Wish a sista luck.
