BACK ON TRACK!
Although I won't have my Advocare products for a couple of weeks, I'm back on track with my weight loss. I have to get up at 7am to be ready for the baby coming over, so that gets my day started earlier. My exercise routine still isn't up to par, but I've added more protein into my diet and I do move constantly with the baby here. When he's not here, I'm doing yard work and gardening. As a result, I lost 4 lbs this week. I'm at 161 though because I had gained 6 back from the yucky feeling days (Mother Nature helped). If nothing else, I'm proud that I didn't let the bogged down feeling KEEP me down. It could've been my bipolar cycling as well, so YAY that it didn't last weeks as it usually does. At any rate, I'm back at it and happy. I put a dry erase board on my fridge that has BREAKFAST: protein, oatmeal, fruit, water... Catalyst, exercise, water... LUNCH: protein, veggie, fruit, water... DINNER: protein, veggie, fruit, water... Catalyst, exercise, water... SNACK: choice of nuts & berries OR Activia yogurt, water... along with boxes for check marks, of course. Not all of them are filled in (I don't cheat), but most are so I'm proud but need to do better. And I get extra water when I'm outside in the yard, sweating out most of what I've already drank for the day. I'm getting about 3-4 hours of yard work exercise per day. My yard is looking spectacular. Pics tomorrow.

Awesome job! I'm sure that even though some of the weight might have came back that was from stress from school, new schedule & such! I'm here to keep YOU motivated & on track. :) I know you can do it & get your workouts back on schedule too! Lots of water will help keep your system working at removing bad stuff too! I'd personally dump the Activia & switch to a Greek yogurt in place of that protein. Dairy in general was never made to be for human consumption after childhood. There are other ways to get calcium in your diet. I think Spark people had an article about dairy yesterday.
