LosingSomeSass

I swear I’m the slowest loser!  15.5 pounds in the first month….I definitely thought I would be down 20-25 in the first month!  I have to step up the water and the exercise I’m guessing.

I typically hit about 50 of each most days. It’s hard. Sometimes I just want to eat and satisfy my mouth but my body says nope!   I added in my vitamins this week and a few extra I take on my own for prevention.
