I ate a big lunch at Cracker Barrel yesterday and today my weight is down 1/2 pound!

How did I do that?

Well, I only eat out once a week or less, so this meal was planned out in advance. I ordered a house salad with distilled vinegar/lemon dressing, grilled chicken tenders, steamed broccoli, green beans, fruit cup, and 1 biscuit with butter and jelly. I wanted high volume, high protein, but to still feel joy. That jelly biscuit created the joy.

Crystal, that is a lot of calories. Yes, I know that, so my breakfast was a Greek yogurt bowl with protein powder, Magic Spoon granola, and 1/2 of a chopped apple.

What did you eat for supper?

Well, I was really full for longer than usual so I ate a Mint Puff Built Bar and a Sola Bagel.

Will I eat this way today?

No, I am back to my regular meals.

I am already trying to decide if I want Dominos pizza or Olive Garden for next weekend. Eating out is a treat that I enjoy but my goals doesnt line up with eating out daily.

I teach my clients how to balance their meals and lose weight. My program also offers resistance training and daily step goals. My clients message me and receive example meals and workouts in the Counting Calories with Crystal app.

My next 8 week group starts on March 16th. Spots are limited to the first 20 that sign up and pay for my services. I do prioritize my current clients. Let me know if you want added to my wait list.

I shopped at 2 estate sales yesterday and spent 25.81. I bought Crocs, cleaning supplies, Pampered Chef, Pyrex, and a vintage Nordic Bundt Pan.

I love yard sales and estate sales!! Do you?

I am currently looking for 20 pound dumbbells, a used treadmill, and interesting pictures.

The trick is totally change how you think about food and create new habits.

Let those new habits create your new identity.

Sharing some free advice on how to lose fat and live a healthier life.

I still do these things to keep the weight from coming back.

Also, I got rid of all my old clothing. That kept me accountable to myself.

This is how I maintain my weight loss. I pretty much went from a size 16 to a size 6.

I didn’t lose weight from surgery or weight loss shots.

I meal prep, walk, count calories, hike, and lift. Was it easy? No, but I can do hard things and so can you.

PS. It doesn’t stay hard because those lifestyle habits become the new you.
