Weight loss update.

   
 Update:

      No sugar since May 2, and I'm 10 pounds down with 20 to go! When I say no sugar, I don't mean no fruit. Just no processed sugars. The whole family is taking a vacation to Maine on July 27 so I'm hoping to lose 10 pounds in June and 10 in July. Totally do-able. I went on vacation and still didn't eat any sugar, but last night we had fondue night with friends so I made an exception. I know you probably won't believe me, but no back trouble since the sugar was out of my system, and today I feel that pain, just like before. I don't know how sugar can affect me that quickly since I just ate it last night,  but I know it's not a coincidence. So no more sugar for me. I don't even miss it and when I find some time, I'll try some stevia recipes. For now, fresh strawberries satisfy my sweet tooth. When you are seeing the scale drop in addition to no pain, it's totally worth it. On a side note, I haven't exercised one day since I started on May 2 so this week Zach and I are both going to start going to the gym. I think that'll make the weight come off even more quickly. I know that muscle weighs more than fat, but you know what I mean. When you feel different in your pants, the weight has come off regardless of the number on the scale. 
    As far as food goes, check out emeals.com. I'm doing the organic/all natural menu and it's been great. The women who run the site shop the sales for you and created weekly menus with grocery lists that accompany them. So easy and supper yummy.

Yay for feeling better. I'll keep you posted!
