• Yeeeeee HAAAAA!!!

    THREE POUNDS this week!! Woooo hooooo!!! (That’s 3 pounds down!! I should clarify that just in case you think I would be doing the happy dance for a gain…. which ummm well………NO! I wouldn’t) Total loss of 7 pounds. Who knew such small changes would make such a difference? I’ve cut out a large portion of carbs. Added a lot more vegetables (yes that gagging noise WAS from me!), more fruits. I changed to the Hershey’s sugar-free dark chocolate bit size pieces (which is REALLY GOOD!
