Weight loss sucess

Yep hubby and I have lost almost 100 pounds between the two of us!

December 2011

December 2012

Cell phone pics of our picture is not the best butt it does show our weight loss a little!
What we have done to do this is change our way of thinking and eating!!
Is really a new way of thinking and eating!
here it is:
Stopped eating processed food (nothing out of a box or package)
started really paying attention to ingredients if we do consider a packaged food
cut way back on my sugars really just coffee creamer is all I so now.
stopped eating red meat (migraines went away) as I researched sodium nitrates)
Cut fast food
cut breads almost completely Gluten free we eat wraps and allow flat bread at subway.
What we do eat
chicken
spinach leaves
avocados
bananas
green beans
corn chips
coffee
olives
salads
nuts
wraps (this is how I have my sandwiches which I love) turkey meat
cheeses
cook with white wine
sweet potato fries
celery (awesome for blood pressure)
carrots
Mexican sour cream is the bomb!!!!
yes I do allow some processed like the cheeses and the sour cream etc. that makes it easier to eat the other stuff but all together I feel so much better and healthy.
Daughter, Kayla, put this plan in motion for us a year ago. she has lost 65 pounds and Morgan 55. I have lost 39.we do, do subway once a week with flat bread.

Friend put this on Facebook today and as I am trying to have boundaries with myself and not be on there as much this song is AWESOME so thought I would share here too!!!

They've made me feel like a prisoner
They've made me feel set free
They've made me feel like a criminal
Made me feel like a king

They've lifted my heart
To places i'd never been
And they've dragged me down
Back to where i began

Words can build you up
Words can break you down
Start a fire in your heart or
Put it out

Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to you

You can heal the heartache
Speak over the fear
(speak over the fear)
God, your voice is the only thing
We need to hear
(we need to hear)

Words can build us up
Words can break us down
Start a fire in our hearts or
Put it out

Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to you
(back to you)

Let the words i say
(let the words i say)
Be the sound of your grace
(sound like your grace)
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to you

I wanna speak your love
Not just another noise
Oh, i wanna be your light
I wanna be your voice

Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to you
(back to you)

Let the words i say
(let the words i say)
Be the sound of your grace
(sound like your grace)
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to you
(back to you)

Words can build us up
Words can break us down
Start a fire in our hearts
Or put it out

I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to you

The Challenge this year at IA

This week at

Inspiration Avenue

Which Road?

As a child I had a huge imagination and I believed in faries and little people living in the trees. I always imagined roads we could not see and cities in the trees.
