Less numbers, more feeling.

So, apparently, I am not good at this posting every day thing.  I suck at it.  So, I'll post when I post.  And, I can't seem to keep a diet diary....so, yeah.

BUT, I feel good.  Yesterday, for the first time, I got on the scale and when it shot a number at me that I didn't like, I didn't care.  Because, I could FEEL that I had lost weight.  And, for the very first time in my life, I really didn't care about the number.  I mean, I've lost two pounds, so that's great, but I wanted to see more movement.  I guess I got spoiled earlier on, when I had more to lose.

Nonetheless, it made me smile, because I know that a scale is really not a great thing to attach yourself to.  Numbers fluctuate, muscle is gained, water is held, etc.  So, I feel the change, and that's even better than a huge drop on the scale.

I've been eating only the following things:

Egg whites
Oatmeal
Prunes
Reduced Fat Triscuits
Almonds
Pears
Bananas
Granola
Almond Milk
Chicken Breast
Broccoli
Cauliflower
COFFEE

I think that's it.  Again, the rule is, "Is it good?  Otherwise, no."  It's amazing what two days of that kind of diet will do.  I felt bloating disappear and I have less of a muffin top in my favorite tight jeans.  Good stuff.  My body treats me better when I treat it better, and all of those weight loss cliches.

Thanksgiving is coming up, and I don't plan to hold back.

Life is simply too short to pass on mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie.
