Month 2 Stats

Here are my results for the second month. While not as good as the first month results, it is still a trend in the right direction. I really need to step up my exercise.

I also need to get back on track with my diet. While I'm still completely abstinent from sugar, I ran out of Pure Thermo Burn and only ordered when the bottle was already empty. I'm all set for month 3 now, and my goal for this month is to clean up my carbs a bit. Too much pasta and potatoes, so my goal is to make sure I eat some protein with every carb heavy meal. I'll continue with the Supreme Whey Protein for my mid-afternoon snack.

Month #2:

Weight: 131lb (down 1lb)
Body Fat: 30% (down 1%)
Chest: 33" (down 1")
Waist: 26.5" (down 0.5")
Hips: 39.5" (down 0.5")
Thighs: 22.5"(no change)

Total so far: down 6lb, 4%, 5.5"

Successful Camping Trip and Power Pops Weight Loss Lollipops

I just came back from a 10-day camping trip with my husband. We went to Arizona and Utah and hiked some beautiful National Parks. We spent a lot of time in the car, and I was afraid boredom would lead me to overeat. We had good music and audio books, and I also had my computer with AT&T data connect, but still I was worried. Turns out I was able to stay busy and entertained, and I think I actually lost weight during this trip. I will weigh myself again on or around June 18th.

Before setting out on our journey, I received an advertisement for Power Pops weight loss lollipops, which contain Hoodia and are supposed to help suppress appetite, as well as Guarana to give you an energy boost. I bought a bag and brought it with me on the trip. The lollipops are absolutely delicious (except for the Root Beer Float flavor which made me gag: I HATE root beer and should have known better than to even try that flavor). It is fun to have the lollipops in between meals, and lollipops or audio books, something kept me away from snacking the whole time. I drank lots of water as recommended on the product packaging as well, (which kept me stopping at every rest area), and I think that helped with the hunger control as well.

I consider it a successful trip, but I'm happy to be back home and to have more exercise options (such as my trampoline, running on the beach, etc). I don't like the way I look on the photos, though, and I keep looking forward to staying on track with my exercise and abstinence from sugar. I know I can have my nice, toned body back if I keep doing what I am doing.
