Chicago Diva On A Dime

     Ok as some of you know I've been battling back pain for over a year. So the workouts have been a little hard but I have been dieting! So far I've been counting calories for a little less then 2 weeks. I've also haven't had an alcoholic drink for longer then that. Yup not even one on New Years Eve!       So how much weight have I lost? I'm not sure. My scale says everyone weighs 365lbs. I'm not kidding it's a little crazy. But right now I found out I won't be seeing a check for about 3 months. So new scale or anything else is a luxury I can't afford. But on a good note I know my skinny jeans fit. And before now there was a 1 to 2 inch gap. So yay me! I'm still sticking to the calorie counting. However I'm just using the Lose It app. I think that will be enough help for now. 

     As everyone is going full force into their resolution. I am going about a quarter the speed. Why? Well the day after the start of the New Year I went to see a new Doctor for my back. Well after a full physical I was in pain. Today is the first day I feel well enough to start back with the challenge. I have downloaded the "Lose It" app and "Fit bit" both work well! I don't have products to work with either app yet. So my suggestion is to use whichever you have a product for.      However, if your like me and don't have a band or matching scale. I'd say download both ad see what works better for you. I do have to say that the LOSE IT  application does offer challenges and even prizes. This is through an offer with Panera Bread. I signed up for it! Prizes include items that work with the app. Good luck everyone no matter what you choose to use to lose!
