Week 5: Down 4.8!

What an awesome way to start and end a new week! I was excited to step on the scale today because I knew I had made healthy food choices this week, and paired with all the walking I do at work, I knew I was taking steps in the right direction of weight loss Steps...walking a lot... Get it? :)

But really, the impact of the food we eat is crazy. We aren't garbage disposals. The more bad food we eat, the worse we will feel. The better the food is for us, the better we feel. It's a simple concept that trips so many people up. Believe me, eating chicken and salads every day makes me want to scream. But I'd rather eat those salads and see the changes taking place in my body than inhale a few items from Taco Bell and feel horrible, guilty, and unhealthy later.

I lost 4.8 pounds this week. With this weeks weigh in, I've lost 26 pounds! In the last 5 weeks, I've lost about 17! It's amazing what a little sacrifice, dedication, and motivation can do.

(PS. David lost 3 pounds this week and has a total weight loss of 32 pounds!!)
