The scale doesn't lie!

I weighed in again today- and I have lost 3 more pounds. This was a hard week so I was VERY excited to see that I had lost 3 pounds. I have lost 15 pounds since January 1st! Talk about motivation to continute. I have 6 pounds to lose before Valentine's day and 30 pounds to lose before I am at my goal 1st weight. Who knows-I may just continute losing.

I am making my 10,000 steps every day. I have been running at the end of the day to make up for any steps I am missing. I am surprised at my endurance. I can only imagine how much energy I will have when I am 30 pounds lighter.

I have been sugar free and fruit free for almost a month. Even though I use stevia/xylitol some veggies seem VERY sweet. For example, butternut squash and sweet potatoes seem much sweeter when I eat them. I am trying to cut out all sugar but occasionally I do use ORGANIC ketchup or spaghetti sauce with sugar cane in them. These products are exceptionally sweet. Next year, I hope to make my own sauces and ketchup to totally eliminate unnecesary sugar. It is amazing what has sugar in it.
