Total weight loss = 5 lbs

I wasn’t very strict on myself about carbs this past month. I cheated a few times a week and ate a little bit of rice, or ate a piece of bread, or had a cookie (or five). Still, I’m happy with this progress. The biggest change that I stuck with is my breakfast. I only eat sausage, egg, and salad. I no longer deviate on my breakfast. I have light lunches now, but occasionally I’ll have a taco salad if I’m super hungry, a Subway wrap, or a Burger King garden salad. I also no longer snack on sweets. My go-to snack is salami and string cheese. It fills me up and takes care of the salt cravings I get. For sweet cravings, I usually just drink a cup of coffee (it’s the pre-made Japanese kinds that contain a little bit of sugar) or drink straight tea. Also, I no longer binge on water, I just drink whenever I’m thirsty.

I feel a noticeable difference in my belly pooch. My pants feel a bit looser, but I still can’t quite make it into the next smaller size.
