My Food Plan [Weight Loss & Maintain]

People say it all the time....and its SO true.
A Healthy diet is the KEY to weight loss & maintaining.

After my last baby [January 2013], I lost 50lbs.  AND I have managed to keep most of it off. 
I can only attribute this to me keeping my diet mostly clean.  
As I stated a couple of post ago, I gained some pounds from my vacation.  SO jumping back on my healthy band wagon was a must. 

In doing so, a couple of friends have asked me to give them some food tips and share the success.
Research and reading...
And here is the food plan I created for them

Weight Loss Food Meal Plan for Beginners 
It is not as in depth as a professionals meal plan would be...but I just wanted to give them a snapshot of the best foods to eat.  We all know small portions, more veggies than starches, water at all times.

Once you cover the basics, you good!
Maybe these food options and meal ideas can help you.

My New Soap [Acne Prone Skin]

These random breakouts are getting on my very LAST nerve.  Ugh.
Not sure why they are only happening around my mouth. This is something new for me. Usually they are on my cheeks, under my cheekbone. UGH!
I am thinking it has to do with the vitamins I have been taking. Because I have upped my water intake and staying clear of sodas.

Anyway, time for a new soap. My previous fav, which was my Neutrogena Naturals Acne Formula, doesn't seem to be working anymore.
Went to Target and found a soap that is kind of famous around the web of bloggers and bloggers alike.
Dr. Bronners Magic Soap
I chose the peppermint  one. My skin loves peppermint, so this was the obvious choice.
What I love so far about it is, how clean my skin feels after I use it.  Also, you barley need any to make it lather up.
And it has been helping with clearing up my skin. It is a favorite for sure!
I will keep ya'll updated on it though.

Vacation is Over, Real Work Begins

After three vacations...eating what I what, when I want...
Yea. Typical vacation behavior. 
So realizing after I got home n settled that I have gained a bit of chub is nothing new. Something that happens every year really. 
In a couple months tho I have a graduation for my MasterLife class.  For this MOMENTOUS occasion, I purchase a beyond fly dress that i can't wait to where.

It fits currently. Yes.
No, I am not that female that buys her clothes slightly too small and then loses weight to fit it.
That is just unrealistic...

It just doesn't fit exactly how I want it to fit. So with that in mind [and this romper that I love but is a bit to snug, lol] I have decided to start exercising again.

This is week 3 and I am going strong! I am a bit [quite] proud of myself because I really do not like exercising, LOL!
I usually just watch what I eat and change my eating habits if I need to maintain my weight.
Seeing as I need to actually lose this time, I had to break out the equipment.

Sweat bands.
They are amazing!
See my previous blog post here when I first purchased my band.

I love them mostly because they take my exercise to the next level. Make me sweat 2x more and in the the places that I want: my stomach and thighs.

The exercise plan also matters a bit. Last time I wanted to loose, I did Insanity. Yea, that crazy workout, smh.
This time, since I want to make it more than a month, I decided to try T25.



Make by the same craft ShaunT, but I only have to sacrifice 25 min of my day. Yes.
Much easier. Still a hard workout but I don't dread it as much because it only takes 25 min.
As long as a kids show [no commercials] or as long as it takes to order take out. LOL

Third week and I actually want to continue! I am liking the results. How I feel. More energy.
And I definitely think I will be able to fit my dress and romper, just the way I want to!!

Extending my deadline to June 26th.  I graduate my class on the 28th.
7 weeks to go....Total of 10 weeks.
Yea....lets see what I can do!!
