Yikes, I haven't posted since October! I have lost 43 pounds since then. Can you believe it? I owe it all to being vegan and My Fitness Pal. No scam diets or starvation, just calories in, calories out and healthy, ethical eating.
Before: 162 pounds. After: 119 pounds. Lost over 9 months!
I'd still like to lose another 4-9 pounds, but I'm just so thankful for where I am right now. I feel more beautiful, stronger, and more athletic. Before, I struggled to run a 10 minute mile. Now, I am effortlessly running a 8:30 mile! I bet I could run faster if I tried.
This summer has been going excellently. I'm working at my job as a supervisor now and I think it agrees with me. Having responsibilities and looking over other employees has boosted my self esteem, and I feel like I'm able to work with people in a constructive and friendly manner. Also, my husband and I are moving to an apartment close by which I'm pretty excited about! We got it for an amazing price: $1400/month. That sounds exorbitant for most anywhere else in the country, but for Pasadena that's a thrifty price!
As a "side-effect" of my lifestyle change, I'm spending less money on food and restaurants. And to be more frugal, I've double downed on my thrift store shopping as opposed to going to Target or Marshall's for my clothes, which cuts down on my spending. My goal is to pay off one of my student loans by this year's end, which should be easy because I only have about $2,000 left to pay.
