The last 5 Pounds

"The Last 5 Pounds is the Hardest to lose"... or so I'm told...

I am really starting to believe this saying that I hear just about every time I "weigh in" lately.

The one thing that keeps me going is that I am working out everyday, building muscle, and burning fat.

Weight really doesn't have an impact on me and meeting my goals. I think that the muscle I'm gaining is outweighing the fat!

I am maintaining the same weight each week, and maybe it's because I had that Sugar Free Vanilla Chai Tea Latte with Almond Milk instead of just black coffee last week. OR I had a few bites of the Blueberry Crisp I made over the weekend..

 But, that's OK. I enjoyed every sip of that Chai Tea Latte & every bite of that Blueberry Crisp!!

Just because I'm in "weight-loss" mode, does not mean I cannot enjoy a little something now and again. It just means I won't have the weight-loss impact that I should have each week.

I'm still maintaining these very important parts of my daily routine, and these cannot be taken lightly:

1) Drinking 100 oz of Water every single day
2) Working out 30 minutes every single day
3) Eating 3 Meals every single day - no skipping meals
4)  Taking daily multi-vitamins
5) Taking 3 protein supplments every single day
6) Choosing healthy meals with the appropriate amounts of protein, vegetables, and bread.


I will continue with these 6 steps above, even long after this weight loss goal is achieved.

It's not a diet.. it's a lifestyle change.
