Before:
After:
Goal: Drink 70 oz of H20 a day
Actual: This one is very much habit now!
Goal: Make dinner my smallest meal of the day
Actual: This was hard to do with the family... but they were troopers, lots more soups and salads and beans. Also, it has become habitual to have at least 2 nights a week where we have soup or salad.
Goal: Treat the weekends just like another part of the week (pertaining to eating and sleeping)
Actual: Did good, more often than not I was on with this one
Goal: No eating after dinner
Actual: Lots of sugar free werther's were consumed post dinner :)
Goal: Get to the gym at least 4 X's a week (one day of swim, spin, upper body, and lower body)
Actual: Got 6 workouts every week, except one where I got 5. Really proud of this one. Lots of early mornings and running on the treadmill during naps to make this happen. I go to 2 spinning class a week now. And swim on Wednesday. I love that these things are now part of my routine.
It was all worth it! I lost 9.7 lbs... and my goal was 8lbs. I really appreciated the motivation that this challenge provided! My confidence and mood have definitely been boosted. I am more than thrilled with the results. My next goal is to keep this lifestyle up! Thanks Scott and Chandi! This blog is a lot of work and we appreciate all the tips and encouragement!

You guys look great. Congratulations.
