The last 3 weeks

I can't believe it! We only have 3 weeks left to the end of our challenge. I decided I am going to step it up. I have at least 5 lbs to lose to meet my original goal that I set at the beginning of the challenge. So I decided to keep a food log and write down everything I eat and record the calories. I decided to do this because I'm not seeing the results that I want to see. The weight is coming off very slowly. In fact I'm maintaining instead of losing. I've been eating more than I should. I want to keep myself accountable. I want to see where I can do better. I believe that food is a main factor to losing weight; it is 70-80% what you put in your mouth. I just started counting calories today and I can see that I have been eating too many. I'm not surprised...a little frustrated. But now I can make improvewments and move on. I am happy to say that I am happy with the improvements I have seen this far:11 lbs lost, my tight capris (like hurt your back to wear them tight are now fitting comfortably,my hips have slimmed down, I can see definition in my arms, it is much easier to run uphills and to run in general, I can run faster and longer,  I can do 12 push ups, and I am eating fruits and a salad, sometimes two, every day. Not only that but when I am following the food/water plan my complexion is clear and I don't feel I need any makeup except eye makeup, I feel my best emotionally and physically, and I have a desire to improve my efforts in all areas of my life. I am looking forward  to these last 3 weeks and making the best of them.
