Goodbye 70! (Melissa)

So I started a new Whole 30 challenge for the month of April on Monday.  So far I am staying strong.  The second time is easier because I know what to expect, can anticipate tempting situations, and have continued to eat Paleo about 90% of the time since the end of January.  However, once I allowed myself to start snacking again, the scale stopped moving!

So I needed a new plan.  My husband and I signed up for the Run to Remember in Boston on May 26th.  In an effort to get in as best shape as possible I decided it was time to get focused and a Whole 30 Challenge was the best way to do that!

So the first week is in the books and I was down 2 lbs this week bringing me to this beautiful weight loss number:

I am super excited because that means I am just 30 away from my goal weight!!  And I am only one pound away from being just overweight (according to my BMI). 

I've been running like crazy (did 7 miles today), going to boxing, Zumba, and eating very healthy so I hope I am as successful this month as I was in January!!!   But I am trying to focus on my eating and exercising instead of just the number on the scale.  Wish me luck!
