Coconut oil

I keep hearing all this stuff about how coconut oil is so good for you. I use it in recipes that call for it but have never really spent the time to try it for its health benefits. My roommate even eats a spoonful a day (not sure why) but she swears that its good for you. My face has been acting up lately and I look like a teenager with all the zits on my face (why am I admitting this to the online world?! How embarrassing!) so after reading many positive posts I started washing my face with coconut oil. Seems weird to wash your face with oil and while it has only been a few days, I LOVE it!!! My face is smoother and my skin tone is more even. The most surprising thing is my face use to get oily and shiny by mid day and I would have to reapply powder just to get rid of the shine, well, there is no shine! I couldnt be happier. We will have to see if it lasts and if the zits really go away, but as of now I am sold!

Almost there

I really need to get back into this blogging thing...
I am happy to say that since I last posted about getting back in shape I have lost 10 lbs (15 since last January) and a total of 10.5 inches. I even had to go buy new pants because some of mine were getting too loose. I still have 9 lbs to go to be at my all-time dream weight but thats not a huge concern for me.  For now my new goal is to be toned and ready for bathing suit season next summer. (Yes, it is a long ways off but that way I am sure to achieve it!)
