Like Losing Fish In A Barrel

Since my highest, I'm down 27.8 pounds! Thirteen of those were lost the past month(ish)! According to life's notebook, losing 25 pounds is like giving birth to a giant fish. Gross, but it's a really encouraging visual! I'd much rather have that fish NOT on my body, thanks.

I call him "Mini T"
I think the most shocking part is that 27.2 pounds is about 20% of my total weight loss goal. WHAT? I'm almost a quarter done?! Granted, I still have an INSANE amount of calories yet to burn to get the other 80% (366,800 to be exact). I'm pumped to keep this momentum!

Credit where credit is due, My Fitness Pal has made the process of food logging simple and sustainable.  I know that I need to keep a food journal as it holds me accountable and helps me remember what I've done during the day.  Having the system I use be painless is necessary for me to actually keep doing it.  Any resistance is an excuse for me so I'm truly thankful that I was referred to it! While I appreciate the accuracy of measurement that a BodyBugg offers, their food database and interface leaves much to be desired and often discouraged me from logging meals.

My 30 day challenge is still going strong! While I haven't followed it to the exact letter, in most cases I've actually done better/more. I am going to be folding in workouts with Mr. Husband in my next habit challenge starting April 5th!

I realized that I pretty much dump information which is hard to make conversation with; I am genuinely interested in your journey, too! 

Have you started your 30 day challenge? How do you keep track of your nutrition/calories?
