Step by Step, How I Made Progress

                                                Step by Step How I Made Progress

My daughter in law, Cara read my blog and then she commented that she thought people might want to know how I actually lost the weight I did and so I told her I would write another blog with the specific information.

Before I continue, I want to say this, that my journey may not work for well for you.  You all have to find a way to make your own life style changes.  I will share what I am doing that is working for me.

September 25th, 2012 I stepped on the scale for the first time in quite awhile.  I wrote down that number and I swore to myself not to get discouraged or upset with myself but to keep moving forward to health. I write down my weight once a week.  Then I said to myself, diets don't work for me, I will make some changes that I hope to keep.  I will continue to exercise and I will cut down on bread and sugar.  So that is how I started and the weight started to come off.  On October 15th, 2012, I started using a nutri-bullet blender.  Five to Six Mornings a week, I make a drink for breakfast that is half spinach and kale, half of a banana, apple and orange, frozen blueberries, put in filtered water, than I add raw almonds and flax seeds.  The fruit take away the flavor of the greens and make it tasty in my opinion.

In January, my husband and I made the decision to go wheat/gluten free because of the findings that my husband read about in the book, Wheat Belly, written by Dr. William Davis.
I mainly eat protein, veggies and some fruit.   Occasionally I have rice or rice crackers or a non-gluten goodie.  But I don't make it a daily habit.  That is what I have been doing for going on 10 months.
