Hi Amber- 1. What types of food did you eat this week? Burritos, Chicken, Asparagus, mashed sweet potatoes, salad w/tuna, protein bars, cereal, milk, water 2. What types of exercise did you do this week? I walked between buildings a few times...does that count? This is such an area of struggle for me! 3. How much weight did you lose? Total loss? Total...approx. 110 4. What was your biggest challenge? Exercise! I can't seem to incorporate it on a regular basis. Any suggestions? I can't join a gym ($) or get a trainer ($$). 5. Name one thing you were not prepared for? How did you deal with it? I wasn't prepared for losing weight on top much faster than on bottom. So far I've done ok, but I'm starting to feel like a pear...and not liking the look. I'm hoping that I can start to buy clothes that flatter my inner-pear vs. wearing the things I have because they don't cost anything! *Fun bonus question: You get to live as one celebrity for a day, who would it be? why? I would be Giada DeLaruentis (sp). I'd be her so I could travel to Italy and eat all those big bites of wonderfully rich foods and still be stick thin!
