Although I am about three weeks behind, we are still going strong! Mike has lost a grand total of 17 pounds as of yesterday and I have lost 7....yeah no fair that Mike has lost so much more, but oh well, we are both working just as hard!
This past week was particularly difficult for me. I got something that i thought was going to be healthy for lunch and it turned out to be WAY more points than I was expecting!! This just goes to show that many foods may seem healthy, when in reality, they are not!!!! Food is just as deceiving as people! How lame is that? I think that has been the most surprising thing that I have noticed while doing this process...Sometimes getting a hamburger (no cheese) and SMALL fry, is better for you than a wheat wrap with turkey and a salad with salad dressing! I couldn't believe it! I wish I had known these things WAY before....or even just kept track of my calories.
I have found that with my points, it's like a bank account....you have so many points to use in one day. If you use up those points and go over, you use your line of credit, which in my case are my 49 extra points a week. Once those points are gone, I have nothing left and can't "spend" any more or I will acquire debt, in my case UNWANTED POUNDS!!! Yeah, pretty stupid analogy but I find it works in my case!
Anyway I was looking through some old pictures and decided to post them here as even more motivation to look as good, if not better, as I did before!!! Love you all!

GOOD JOB JULIA! I realized as I was tracking what I ate with that app "Livestrong" what I ate and the calories that everything had that salads oftentimes had MORE calories and fat than burgers and other fatty foods that you'd thing would have more! It's frustrating! But you just have to get yourself educated and used to eating right, you are on the right track! Congrats!
I love the "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" song on your page! It's SO SO SO pretty! You know that's my favorite song! Anyway, I love that you are keeping track of this and I've been enjoying watching your progress, keep it up! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!
