I'm baaaaack. . . .

Day 21--Month 2

Hey, y'all! (OK, I'm not quite that Southern.) I've got some results to report:

At the end of my last 8 Day Cycle--

24 pounds down

32.5 inches gone

My goal for the month of February is to lose a total of 30 pounds by the end of the month. I've got 6 pounds to go. I can do it! I hope. I've got to really get back on track and take not so many side steps. While I've stuck pretty much to the program, I've begun adding things. Light Sour Cream here, a handful of nuts there, snacks with no carbs, but empty of nutrition. When I think about it, it has probably been a whole 10 days since I've drunk enough water. Gosh, this reflection and reassessment is a buzz-kill. But one thing this journey has already taught me is not to judge myself so harshly, and I'm not. What I am is ecstatic about my progress.

I must confess, in full disclosure, that I'm falling into the same traps I usually do, and those traps involve my lack of--whispering--discipline. Ssssshhhhhhh. . . . I hate that word. D-I-S-C-I-P-L-I-N-E  I have a severe lack of it. Always have, but I'm trying to change the "always will" part. And that with my almost pathological inability to remain organized, and it's pretty bleak! Hahaha! But I will reveal more later--oh my gosh, could it be, GOALS?!?! Now, I want to tell you about my friend, Kellie. I've yet to meet her in person, but she is a marvelous friend and inspiration to me daily.

Kellie began using Xyngular products 1 year ago on February 14. In the summer of 2012, after she had lost so much weight that she needed to buy new capris for the summer. In her head she knew how much she weighed, and she also knew what size she should wear at that weight. When she tried on the capris of that size that should've fit, they fell off of her! She decided to put the scale away that day. See the Xyngular products are not products designed for only weight loss; they are health and wellness supplements. What happened to Kellie is the products were changing her body more than she knew. She was was building muscle as she was losing fat, and muscle weighs more than fat. This is why she was smaller than what she thought.

So, this past week, on February 14, 2013, on her 1 year anniversary using Xyngular, after one year of inspiring people like me to change our lives, Kellie pulled the scale back out. In 1 year, she lost 91.2 pounds! I'm so proud of her, her discipline, and the way she shares her story, her knowledge, and her love and encouragement. I'm proud to call her my friend, and hope that I can make her proud of me, as well!

Here is one of her pictures:

Way to go, Kellie! Keep up the good work!
