It’s time for another 90 day challenge update. I can’t believe that it’s already been nine weeks. Time really does fly by. Before I delve into it, I want to say even thin people struggle with losing weight. I’m a prime example.
Weight-loss:
I’ve been doing the work and eating relatively healthy although I did have a few fun Friday nights with the girls. I wish my results were better, but that’s the journey right? So this weekend I refocused and have my eye on the prize. But hey — photos don’t lie… I’m looking good 🙂

Stats:
Height: Still 5’3″
Weight: 140 (3/1); 137 (3/28); 138 (4/18); 139 (5/10)*
BMI: 30.6% (3/1); 27.9% (3/28); 27% (4/18); 27.25% (5/10)
* I weighed myself Monday and was 137 — way to loss two pounds over the weekend!
Diet:
Yup I’m human and I fell off the wagon ate some chocolate and enjoyed a few bottles of wine. Here’s the kicker it’s not like I over indulged so the trainer has me on a new “diet.” Boy do I hate that word. When you tell me I can’t eat something that’s all I want to eat and all I can think about is food. I keep telling myself it’s three weeks. Now that I’m refocused and on a new eating and exercise regimen I’m feeling good. So what am I eating these days — not 100% paleo
I’m still eating for my body type, but focusing on macronutrient manipulation. So what does that mean? Macronutrient ratios are the percentages of protein, carbohydrates, and fat in your diet. My week looks a little like this: 3 carb days, 3 protein days and 1 fat day.
Carb Day: (B) Green Smoothie + Sprouted Toast with a light non-sugary spread; (L) Brown Rice or Quinoa bowl with beans/peas, seeds and as many veggies as I want; (D) same at lunch
Protein Day: Green Smoothie + two hard boiled eggs one yolk, light sea salt; (L) Green Veggie Salad + Chicken (light); (D) Meat (Chicken or Fish) and Veggies
Fat Day: (B) Green Smoothie + 1/2 Avocado; (L) Nuts, Veggies, and honey; (D) Shrimp Salad and 1/2 Avocado
