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.
