Sorry it's been so long since I've updated!
A couple things that are just way too exciting not to mention are:
- Janae and Cody had their baby! Sweet Emma is already a month old and is adorable as ever.
- Tyler is back in school with the goal of becoming a social worker. I'm so proud of him for setting his goal and going for it.
- I FINALLY painted the master bathroom. I have been meaning to paint it since we bought our house last September. It was the only unfinished room and it's finally done. With the help of my awesome father-in-law, him and Tyler installed a shower door for it too.
On the weight loss front...
Things are going great except that I've been slacking on my protein intake. When I met with my nutritionist, she said I need to be taking in 80 grams of protein from shakes. Yuck! I have not been a fan of protein shakes lately. I have found though that 1 cup light chocolate soy milk, unflavored protein powder and half a frozen banana makes for a pretty tasty shake with 25 grams of protein. If you're looking for a good, non-grainy protein powder, UNJURY is definitely the way to go. It's expensive but it's so worth it. My meal size nowadays is between 1/4-1/2 cup. I still serve myself too much food and Tyler ends up eating my leftovers. I don't think he minds though...
I'm losing about 2-3lbs a week depending on how much I work. Being on my feet for 12 hrs straight really helps the pounds disappear. As you can see from my Ticker at the top of my page, I've lost 43 pounds! I don't really see anything different when I look in the mirror. My scrubs are huge on me now. Shorts that I couldn't even button last summer are getting too big. It's a good problem to have :)
I just took my measurements and I am absolutely delighted by how many inches I've lost all over my body...a whopping 24 inches! This is crazy exciting for me. Anyways, thanks for reading!
