And... another pound bites the dust!

Alright! SO! I recalculated my correct daily caloric goal here: http://www.womenshealthmag.com/weight-loss/calculate-your-calories and turns out, I've been eating almost 500 calories LESS than what I should! YIKES! So all that time I spent wondering why I couldn't get out of my plateau... this helped me figure that out. So halfway through last week, I switched it up. I started eating the total amount that my body needs to actually function normally (with good, healthy calories) and voila! The weight is melting off. I'm sure the 3 x's per day of working out I'm doing is not hurting anything either, but still! Next goal is to STOP DRINKING! Or at least limit my drinking. That continues to be my biggest challenge. So as of last week, I am eating 5-600 calories for breakfast, starting the day with cardio, doing an ab workout after work, and then more cardio and yoga before bed. I still haven't gotten to the point where I've been able to add yoga to my morning routine, but I am confident I will! Man it feels GOOD! And I have more energy now. Who knew that eating the right amount of calories could make this kind of difference? Essentially, I have to burn at least 500 calories a day to lose a pound of fat per week. No problem! That makes it so much more easily attainable.
