I have only lost 3 pounds since I started the challenge but by eating clean and lifting weights I have lost 2 inches in my waist! So hopefully that means somewhere in this body muscle is being gained. Besides my brain from all this reading on clean eating and weight training. I need to post the pictures with the difference in eating. My husband says he can't tell but he also can't tell as small as I am when I have lost 10 or 20 pounds. He just noticed my chest got smaller.... Weirdo! Well on a weird note I had been baking my okra and yesterday thought well I will fry it. Bad, Bad idea. My belly just doesn't like the grease at all. That is what a few weeks of clean eating will do to you. I had a belly ache for a couple hours and felt icky. Decided to go walk it off on the treadmill while watching T.V. Hour went by so fast and felt better. Then crashed out. Also a couple days I go I used a seasoning I used to love and I decided it was way too salty for me now. amazing how out bodies adapt to the taste of crap. Plan on being through with all of that forever! Been watching my scale lately and it says my muscle mass has gone up which agrees with the beginning of my journal. Just going to watch it a couple more days to see what it says. Only two more days before shopping day all day with my mom. So excited! She is great at pairing things up or knowing what will look good on me. I look at some things and think no way. But try it on anyhow and it looks awesome. That is why I always make my mom help me buy clothes. Might sound stupid at 29 but I would still just grab and go if it weren't for her. lol! Now to find pants that fit my butt and look good... No mom jeans allowed here! Would be nice if my mom and I had the same one so I could just were the brand she does, but we don't. Been doing squats and lunges trying to get more definition there.
