Tonya came over this evening and NOW my pantry is Naked! We went through my pantry and got rid of all the bad, unhealthy processed foods. For instance, no more white bread, pasta shells (unless whole wheat), NO MORE chips, juice (even if it's for the kids - it's totally unhealthy for them as well), canned foods like cream of mushroom/chicken (I knew this was going to be a big no,no - but I know most of you have all of this in your pantry too). Not me anymore - and I feel good about it. On the other hand, it has been harder for my husband and kids to adapt to all MY changes. I say my changes, because even though we are in this together, we didn't get here overnight. I made a decision for myself and had to change overnight. It will take them longer, but I think they will see - The positive changes will be a GOOD impact on our family. Going to bed as I gear up for a 6 mile run in the morning...........a little nervous as I tried 5 miles last Sunday and did not do good at all. I ran 3 miles, walked .5 mile ran, walked etc......being positive....tomorrow will be a good run day!

I met Tonya to run 3 miles at 6am. Before we started she weighed me. I was so FRUSTRATED to know I had only lost 3 pounds. WHAT????? After all this hard work, 3 pounds, really??? The good news is that I dropped 2% of body fat and gained 1% of muscle and my viseral fat (fat surrounding your organs) had dropped a whole point - Tonya, and I were very pleased to see these results. My run was great - I felt awesome! I jogged the whole 3 miles, did not stop and felt like I could run more (which is good since I have to run 6 miles on Saturday). Many of you are probably wondering what my meal plan is. Since I started this process (6.14.10) I've been on the Fat Flush Smoothie Shakedown, by Ann Louise Gittleman, PhD, CNS (for only 2 weeks as a jumpstart). Basically, I have a shake for breakfast, 4-6 oz. of meat along with veggies and a shake for dinner. I can have 1 cup of recommended fruit or another shake as a snack. I have stuck to my workouts and meal plan for 10 days and that's why it is so shocking that I only lost 3 pounds. Well, I'm not going to focus on the numbers, like Tonya says, "You're not defined by a number."
