How To Lose Weight (Grocery Haul #1)

Food is almost as exciting as makeup, right?  Well I thought I might share a little on what I'm doing to lose weight.

Diet is probably the biggest factor for me when it comes to losing weight.  I've realized that I can lose 5 pounds just by adjusting the foods I eat.  Of course, exercise plays its part too and is important for maintaining a healthy body.  With the combination of both exercise and diet, I plan to lose 10 pounds!
By diet, I mean they types of food I consume.  I don't mean South Beach or Paleo.  I'm simply not disciplined or dedicated enough to restrict myself to such a degree.  I enjoy food too much!

Here's a list of what I picked up today:
  • Sliced Mangos (Fresh Ready Pac from Costco) -- $7.99
  • Bag of Spinach -- $3.00
  • Yogurt (24 pk) -- $5.50
  • Udon and Kale Salad (small) -- $2.00
  • Bok Choy (6) -- $1.75
  • Grapefruit (4) -- $3.75
  • Brie Cheese -- $2.20
  • Eggs -- $2.00
Total Shopping Cost: About $28

(Obviously, I'm not a nutritionist or expert when it comes to losing weight.  
I'm just saying what I'm doing to accomplish my goals.)

I've also noticed that by eating healthier, I save money!  More to spend on cosmetics!! :D

What do you eat to lose weight?

What's In My Bag? (Sonoma, CA: Relay For Life)

Ryan and I are about to leave for Sonoma, CA (about an hour away) to join my best friend in the Relay for Life!  The American Cancer Society organizes these events to help raise money for cancer research.  During the event, participants walk as much as possible during a 24 hr period.  Two years ago, my best friend Jessica and I walked 30 miles!  This year, we're hoping to do 35!  Jessica has been one of my closest friends since we were 2 years old!  I adore this girl <3 

Here I am with Jessica hiking in Yosemite!

Since we're going to be there overnight, I decided to pack a few items in my bag that will help keep us looking fresh!  Some of these items may look familiar!

The Body Shop Raspberry Lip Butter
Yes To Cucumbers Facial Wipes
H2O Plus Spa Sea Salt Hydrating Body Butter (also on my P10P list)
Dove Cucumber and Green Tea Deodorant
Bioderma Crealine H2O
Ahava All In One Toning Cleanser
Aveeno Lotion Sunscreen w/SPF 30


What are your essential overnight items?
