Entry 197:

I had green tea with lemon first thing this morning and then for breakfast I had 2 eggs and 2 slices of wheat toast. I am out of coffee but that's ok. I have been getting too dependant on it again. For lunch I had a can of healthy choice soup over toast. I had baked sweet potato fries for dinner and am almost done with my water jug. Also I am on my 4th cup of green tea. I ended up having 7 cups of green tea yesterday! I also did another great basement workout last night. I did a lot of abdomen work. I am feeling it. It hurts when I cough so I guess that's a good sign, lol. I still have yet to work out today but I do plan to before bed.

I spent most of the day cleaning out my closet; literally ha-ha. I went through ALL of my clothes and have 3 huge bins full of stuff to get rid of/throw away because it's too worn out. It's a good feeling. I don't want any of that stuff hanging around here anymore. I don't ever want to grow back into them. I have a lot of nice 3XL & 4XL clothes to give away for free. If you would be interested and know my phone number; text me or you can e-mail me at marilynziebell@hotmail.com

I weighed myself this morning and have lost 1 pound since yesterday! I am now 73 pounds down. Slowly but surely I am getting myself back on track!

<-- I have been going with the natural look lately. No make-up or hair product. I sure can get ready faster!

Before I started my journey I would get pimples a couple times every month but since I have been drinking at least 75 ounces of water a day I have yet to be burdened with one. I know a lot of people think that the water/green tea thing are just myths but hey, what would it hurt to just give it a try? Water and green tea have been a part of my EVERY DAY routine since I have started to lose weight and I have lost 73 pounds so far. I see myself drinking green tea until the day I die! Green tea is SO good for you in so many ways. My face has cleared up so much compared to what it was before. Every time I would get flustered, shower or not wear concealer I would have red blemishes. I also had little red bumps on my upper arms. I think that's why I have always been so self conscious about my arms but they have been going away too. If you treat your body right it will love you back!
