It’s been almost a month, I’ve been eating about 90% raw unprocessed and working out 5-6 days a week. I’m really losing the pudge in my upper body, the lower half is always the last to go. I can actually see a difference finally.

I’ve traded in sweets for ‘green smoothies’, I have a juicer and every morning indulge in 1 bunch of juiced kale, a cucumber, and 3 apples. While it may sound unappealing, it’s actually really refreshing and sweet. I’m finding myself craving them if I don’t get one every day. Salty carbs is still where I have trouble, I usually can’t go a day without some type of empty carbohydrate. However, it’s not impeding my progress.

I’ve started to incorporate more weights into my routine. I was doing cardio like a madwoman, and my progress was slow. My boyfriend did a fair amount of lifting in his life, and told me that the more muscle I create the faster I will burn fat. I told him I didn’t want to bulk up and have the cannons he did, to which he replied low weight, and lots of reps will lean me out without bulking up.

And because he’s a very intelligent man, I’ve been listening to him, and very happy with the results.

I want to wait two more weeks until I take another progress pic. They will be coming, I promise.

Oh yeah, my weight is currently 129lb.

I can’t remember the last time I dropped below 130lb.

I’ve maintained about 90% raw and unprocessed foods in my diet. Sometimes I screw up, but it’s only a little bit here and there.

Still working out. I had a rest day yesterday, and tonight did 30 minutes on the eliptical and 10 on the stair climber.

Baby steps.
