I’m in a summer state of mind. I definitely don’t feel super comfortable in bikinis yet because of my extra L B’s LOL–but its teaching me self love even more. I have to love my body at whatever weight, not just when I don’t have squishy legs and arms haha The body will always have changes with every new hormone phase we go through.

I’m 5’8 and now 158 lbs, I started at 165 lbs. My goal is being 145lbs again. These 50 days are just the beginning. I plan to keep tracking my macros until end of the year along with my Booty Guide Schedule. I want to see what happens when I stay disciplined for the rest of the year. I said I would do it for 50 days but my brain developed  good habits and I want to keep them. It has started to get easier everyday because of the routine and programming in my brain.

This challenge has granted me patience. I have been losing weight slowly but healthy. I have to keep in mind this really is a forever challenge but I trick my brain at first to do 50 days. It takes about 70 days to build a solid habit. Without patience its easier to give up. I can only imagine how this patience will transform my life. I have to remember it took me a couple years to gain 20lbs. I actually started at 135lbs right after my divorce but I felt healthy one year after at 145lbs. The spiritual muscle, patience, will make it easier for a lot of other areas in our life. I will do the best I can but if I mess up I will trust I did the best I could. Moving forward again is what matters; falling and picking myself back up again and again. I never want to quit on me. This is the work worth investing my time in for the rest of my life. The seasons will change but the love and care for my body shouldn’t.

Results for this week!

I can’t believe I lost almost an inch off my waist this week! The Ozone therapy and the Cocoon at Rejuvenate Wellness & Health Center really helped!!! My weight loss and body fat also shows my body is losing fat! My muscle mass also went up to 37% from 36.9% last week. Every pound of muscle speeds up my metabolism. We can lose weight by starving ourselves but this slows down our metabolism and this causes you to lose your good curves like the butt or legs. I want to lose belly fat not my curves! I’m happy with my current results.
