    Completely failed at attempting to be vegan yesterday - had egg for brekkie, tuna for lunch and beef for dinner! But I still want to give it a try some time though. Or maybe just vegetarian - I can't do without my morning cuppa.

    5. What is your favorite healthy food?

    I honestly don't have a favourite, I love practically all food! But I hate cooking so let's say my favourite is something healthy that's been prepared by friends or family :)

    18. Try to use as little salt as possible today or maybe even none! Don’t buy microwave meals and don’t eat foods high in sodium.
    Like I told my husband hen he told me he wants to cut salt out of his diet, it screws up what I plan to make for lunch. I will try for for as low as possible.

    I missed a few days so here's my questions!

    4. Have a vegan day today. No meat, no eggs, no dairy, no animal products whatsoever. Give it a try! Whoops, didn't do this. Will give it a shot in a couple days though!

    5. What is your favorite healthy food? Coconut Milk & Strawberries.

    6. What is your favorite unhealthy food? Donuts & Cinnamon Rolls...I have been so tempted to have a doughnut lately but I've been good!

    7. What is your least favorite healthy food? Unfortunately I don't like too many veggies, so probably either asparagus or celery.

    10. Do you count calories? If so, what is your daily limit?
    Yes I TRY to count calories and I TRY to keep it around 2000/day,

    13. What is your favorite type of strength exercise?
    Squats and dead man lifts, my legs are pretty good so they don’t hurt after those types of exercises.

    12. What is your least favorite type of cardio?
    Running/jogging, I am flat footed to moving like that hurts not to mention uncoordinated so I tend to trip alot.

    I am skipping the queations I can't actually try to do at theis time. I will try on the week ends and post on monday.

    6. What is your favorite unhealthy food?

    Cheese! Cheese fondue, cheese cubes with a packet of crisps or twiglets, cheesy pasta, cheese toastie... usually a strong vintage cheddar, but I'm partial to a bit of parmesan or wensleydale every now and then. I can eat half a block of cheese in one sitting without realising it. Usually washed down with a bottle of red which I'm sure cancels out the fat in the cheese ;)

    19. Are you losing weight the healthy (<2lbs/week) or the unhealthy (>2lbs/week) way?

    I guess you'd consider it unhealthy cause I'm currently losing 3-4 pounds a week, but I eat back all my exercise calories except for 200-300 so I have room to share if I underestimate something, I work out daily anywherefrom an hour to two and a half hours, and I strength train 2-3x a week. I don't go overboard on the processed foods and sweet, drink my water daily, and try to make as many meals as possible at home.

    20. Who is your biggest weight loss inspiration and why?

    I'm not sure if I really have one.... I don't know anyone personally that has lost weight like I'm trying to. So I'm my own inspiration and hope to be someone else's someday too.

    I am 5'7 and currently weigh 220. My goal weight is 160. I am losing my weight because I want to be there for the long haul with my kids and I am tired of feeling uncomfortable in my own skin.

    1. Write your current stats: height, current weight and goal weight. Why are you losing weight?

    Height: 5'3

    CW: 155lbs

    GW: 125lbs-130lbs

    I am losing weight 75% for my body confidence, it's harder to love myself and accept me as overweight and too big...
    The other 25% is for better health, though I have no health issues that I am aware of (besides being overweight) diabetes runs in the family and I would also like to be in my best shape... hopefully avoiding major health issues in the future.

    I use to be a lot heavier and wan't happy or healthy. Just made the decision to lose. I get one life and it would be wasted being sick or miserable.

    14. What is your least favorite type of strength exercise?
    The rowing/lumber jack arm/shoulder exercises. The machines that you do those on are so much taller then me that they feel incredibly unnatural.

    15. Write your current weight. Have you lost anything in the past week? If not, what are your plans for this week?
    232.8 lbs, same as before, I am actually happy with staying under 235.
