Mar 2021

But I actually lost weight. Not as much eating on the run. Once school started back up, in person, my schedule was crazy and exhausting. I gained it back from too much drive thru quick meals.

January 7th I started having South Beach Diet delivered and I follow that, plus drinking 80-100 oz. of water a day. It takes the place of drive thru and I'm by myself at night because my husband and daughter work 2nd shift. It's all done for me! Haven't had soda, ice cream or fried food since then. I have one cheat food a month.

I've lost 18 pounds!
