Wow!!! This was a great challenge, I completed it without any cheats and learned more about my inner strength and determination.
In the end, my goal was to loose body fat and gain muscle. I became friends with my scale again (although, our love/hate relationship hasn't changed) so I stepped on and the results showed my weight was up 1 lb. The scale is only one way of measuring my progress, so I'm not discouraged as I feel with all my training it probably was up due to added muscle or water retention.
Over-all, I'm happy with my results and look forward to my next challenge.

2 weeks down, 2 to go!
Today is Day 14 of my November Challenge.
Wow, I am really loving this new way of eating. Well, it really doesn't feel too new to me since it has many of the same principals as Somersizing, just not the same guidelines.
Thought I'd share, I have lost 5.4 lbs. in 2 weeks with eating clean. What's even better is that I feel that I am learning and creating some great habits. You really have to look at your eating as a lifestyle and not a diet in order to make lasting changes.
Oh, and since it had been over a month since I took my last measurements, I did today and I have now lost 16" and 20 lbs. since June.

November Challenge
Today is Day 4 of my November Challenge!!!
So far, so good! I am really focused on eating healhy and have been feeling very satisfied (and satiated) with my food choices. I loved Somersizing and this program just makes me feel like I've gone home again.
I've been experimenting with adding some healthy extra's to my protein shakes, I'll post the recipes a little later. ; )
