Day 25

Now I'm back on track :) Well, I found a cool new website that's better for tracking food and things, so my chart will be there from now on. If you want to see, go here. I did pretty well today... 1416 calories... carbs were a little high, but still in the range... missed protein by 1 gram.

AND, 30 Day Shred Level 3, Day 5 = done! I seriously can't believe I'm going to do this entire thing without stopping. I started it with a cold and 2 weeks of killer poison ivy. Around day 16 I almost talked myself into skipping a day and making it up at the end. But I've done it. It was one of my New Year's resolutions to do the entire thing with no breaks. So even if I didn't get any results, the satisfaction of crossing that off of my resolution list is totally worth it! You know... that and the fact that I just FEEL healthier overall.

I'm trying not to let my lack of weight loss get me down. Seriously, with the calories I've cut, I should be losing the weight. My body must be taking time to adjust. I also may have completely destroyed my metabolism before... maybe that's why it's not coming off. I used to eat once or twice a day (and a LOT of food). I've gone weeks at a time living off of only frog-eye salad (it's delicious). I know (and knew) that's not healthy and maybe I'm paying for it now with an extra long adjustment period. OR, maybe I really am gaining muscle. I do actually have muscles in my arms now. It's amazing.
