Day 27 of 75lbs in 365 Days...

Day 27 - August 8, 2011

Its been awhile since I last updated.  3 pounds removed from last weigh in. I have not been under 270 in over a year! What a great feeling. Can not wait to hit that 250 mark. That will mark the first time in 3 years being in the 250 range!!! When I met Ali, I was in the 230 range. Can not wait till I am in that range again!

So the harest thing for me not to just go to the fridge and eat is ICE CREAM! You know I didn't get to be 301 by eating too many veggies and fruits! I love to have ice cream.... I still eat it but of course in moderate helpings. No longer filling my bowl 2 times to the top and adding toppings such as chocolate, or any of that kind of stuff! Who knew there were other types of ice cream other than the ones with all the candy pieces in them! haha... But I have found the one for me! Blue Bunny Frozen Yogurt!!!!

Lets compare my NEW fav vs my Old Fav shall we....
