Hey there! It’s my Weigh-In Wednesday: Week 9 of My Weight Loss Journey. At the end of this post, I’ll tell ya how much weight I lost this week!
How was your 4th of July yesterday? We made Pulled Pork, gallons (literally!) of Potato Salad,and Mac & Cheese .

Which is precisely why I embarked on My 12 Week Weight Loss Challenge in the first place.
I want to eat the delicious, real foods my family enjoys while learning to balance portion servings and integrating daily exercise. My goal is to loose weight in a way that I know is healthy and sustainable for the long haul.
