Day 1

Well, I weighed myself and checked my size.  It was quite a shock but I have lost weight before and I'll do it again.  Only I won't stop there.  I will continue my journey as I maintain once I reach my goal.
The ideal weight for me considering my height and build is around 150/160 and size 10. I am currently a size 16/18 and weigh 220 pounds.

I started out the day with some hot water with lemon, green tea and a fruit, veggie and protein smoothie (I added kale, carrots, blueberries peanut butter, a coco Lara bar and avocado along with almond milk for breakfast.)  I'm currently using Vega protein.  (a protein from all plant based sources)

For lunch it was a veggie loula (a pita filled with all kinds of veggies and some tzaziki sauce, along with water and a matcha green tea cupcake.

Goal to drink 2 liters of water.  (I'm getting close and it's only 3 pm!)
For supper homemade cucumber and tomato salad, and fish.

medium plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise, seeded, and thinly sliced
1/4 red onion, peeled, halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced

Tonight I'm heading out for a brisk walk with a neighbor then plan to stretch and tone before bed.  

Here's a prayer for those of you who are people of faith.

Thank you Father that I don't desire to eat so much I become overweight.  I present my body to God, my body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which dwells in me.  I am not my own.   I am bought with a price therefore, in the name of Jesus I refuse to overeat.  Body settle down, in the name of Jesus and conform to the Word of God.  I mortify the desires of this body and command it to come into line with God's Word.  (Romans 12:1, 1 Cor 6:19)

See you all in a couple days!  All the best to you!
