I was a size 14 when I started the PCP (that's so embarrassing to say)
and I finally broke down and got some clothes because things were getting ridiculous
and the small news is ... I am now a SIZE 8 !!!!!!!!
I screamed and danced a bit.

Day 68 checking in
Things are going well, food is on track and I am feeling good, strong and healthy.
My six year old is son is starting to worry about me. He has noticed that my clothes are extremely loose and sometimes my pants fall down ( I refuse to buy new clothes at this point so I am getting by with belts and anything with a drawstring, thank god I am a stay at home Mom because I look ridiculous sometimes!)
Anyway, he told me to stop eating good food because he doesn't want me to lose any more weight.
I explained to him that I am very, very healthy and that I still need to lose some more weight from my tummy so that my heart won't have to work as hard. He seemed okay with this but he is a worrier so I have to make a point of eating in front of him.
I can't believe its day 68, we have come so far!

Day 63 PICTURES!!!!
Okay I do not look very muscley yet, but trust me the muscles are there !
I have lost 20 pounds of fat! I am very, very excited and more determined than ever to trim the rest of my fat and let my muscles show.
I wore the same top as in my banner photo so you can see how wrinkly it is around my tummy - before it was pulled tight - look at the banner (yes embarassing, but motivational)
When I started this project I was clinically overweight and needed to lose 15 pounds just to get out of that danger zone.
I am staying focused and finding the workouts easier in so far as I'm not hauling that extra 20 pounds with me every time I jump rope !
Hope everyone is doing well and feeling as happy as me.

day 56 My Skin
For years now I have suffered from eczema, extremely dry skin and most recently rosacea.
In the last few weeks I have noticed that my skin is so soft! I started noticing it on my hands. I use to constantly put moisturizer on my hands because they felt so dry and now they are smooth and soft.
I no longer have dry skin on my face and my rosacea is so mild now it just looks like rosy cheeks.
I really think this all due to the PCP - namely the veggy heavy diet, but a combination of all of it.
I have spent so much money on creams that will moisturize my face without irritating it and now my skin is no longer dry and its not as sensitive.
Its really not about vanity but for anyone who has suffered from extreme dry skin or eczema you know how sore and irritating it can be.
Another surprise PCP bonus and another reason to stick to this program long after its over.

day 54 my treat
Last night I had some wine and cheese and crackers.
I really enjoyed it and the company too. But I was happy when it was over and I was looking forward to the comfort of my PCP food this morning.
I feel like I am in control of wanting treats now and I don't need them the way I use to. I also love the feeling of eating good foods, I really notice a difference when I eat things that aren't good for me.
I can't believe its day 54!!!

My treat
It has taken me a very long time to decide on my indulgence mainly because the same things don't appeal to me.
So I have decided tonight to have some wine and appetizers with friends who are coming over.
We'll see how it goes with the wine, I'll probably be half in the bag after a couple of sips!
The diet and exercise are going better than ever and everything is ticking along well.

Day 48 Halloween and birthdays!
This past weekend we had halloween, which is BIG in my house as my kids are 6 and 4 and my husband sometimes behaves like he is 6 or 4!
There were a lot of treats around from various parties and trick or treating and it is getting easier and easier to pass these up or not even notice them. I never, ever thought I would say that.
I am changing mentally and physically.
Has anyone else found that they are getting very organized?
I am getting things done that have been on my list for a long time.
Sorry this is scattered and short, I have been interrupted 7 times while trying to post and I have to get something up!
