 So, here is what I’m doing at the gym and what I’ve been eating for the last 4 weeks. Haven’t weighed myself, or taken measurements, but I’ve lost a whole pant size - in 4 weeks!!! My husband says he has noticed quite a difference in my body since I cleaned up the eating. Don’t really know how many calories I’m consuming, but as long as it’s working it’s all good. I have a ton of energy and feel so much better.

Trying this again - not working out, been doing great at that - the Bodyspace thing. Started a year ago (working out), tried Bodyspace, got some very weird/creepy messages, didn’t know to turn off private messages, took all pictures down and deleted blogs. Had to stop workouts (not due to weird creepy guys-just girl issues), took care of that surgically, recuperated, and recruited some friends to go to the gym with me. Been working hard for the last 5 months but the eating clean thing has been harder for me to get a hold of  spent that time "bulking up." Started eating clean on the 5th of Jan (day kids went back to school -chorus of angels were heard singing!) and have been 100% since then. One of the guys at the gym told my friend that I scare all the men - what!!? I am very focused and there to do a job not flirt and look pretty, although I am pretty hot ( in the sweaty, she’s got crazy hair way!) They’re just jealous I’m working harder than they are! I’ll try to put up current progress pictures, lost all of the before pictures - started out at 170, now 153, (12yr old son crashed computer and NO we didn’t back up stuff - learned a hard lesson.) By the way, I’ve been reading ShanBL blogs daily, if you haven’t read it go there now, what are you still doing reading my boring stuff - she is too damn funny!!
