I passed my 1/2 way mark!
I am beyond excited! I passed my 1/2 way mark (which was 170lbs). I am 168.6 which is 26.4 lbs down since May 28th! I have been doing CICO and I have been super diligent about tracking everything in MFP. I found my comfortable range of daily calories to be around 1250-1400 depending on my activity level that day. More recently I have been tracking my macro nutrients a bit more diligently and I think that is helping too. As for workouts, I have been hitting the gym about 6 days a week and doing a mixture of strength and cardio training. I have been doing the Oxygen Challenge and I am following Christmas Abbott's program which is based in crossfit and high intensity workouts along with 30 - 45 minutes of cardio (however much time I have left with my kids in the gym daycare basically). I am so excited and I finally feel confident again. I mean, I know I have lots of work to do still and 168.6 on my 5'4 inch frame is still not ideal, but it is progress. I am getting stronger and faster and I can feel myself improving! I know I am being the best example for my 3 sons, and that makes me proud! I just wanted to tell everyone that despite your struggles, your bad days, your down falls - you can get back up and you can do it. Make the time, and the results will follow! <3
