It can be done! I'm so ecstatic!

Exhibit 1: This month's diet is next month's body.

ScreenShot2013-03-30at122018PM_zps161e56dc.png

Exercise mixture of Bikram yoga, JM's Ripped in 30, and running. 1-2 rest days per week.

Consistently ate at a 500-1000 calorie deficit, except for a few days during the week of my birthday, which were more like 100 calorie-deficit days. (Birthday week is hard!!)

*FML. Editing to get the pic to show up.
*Another edit... MUST NOT FORGET the backslash. Got it now.

    I had to just look that up! Just a smidgen of a difference:

    Feb 24/March 30

    Weight: 147.0lb/145.8lb
    BF: 24.9%/24.5%

    Huh. I guess that shows that every bit of progress IS progress!!

    And thanks, you look pretty amazing yourself lady!!!

    That seriously made my day.. I always think of that hair as a big ol' nest that sometimes doesn't stay where I put it!

    I was thinking the exact same thing! I would love my hair to look relaxed like that... I have a bob and I have to pull my hair back really tight to make it stay, and the ponytail is really chunky and short :( Defo some hair jealousy for you Richelle!
