Down another pound!
Actually, a bit surprising since I ate a few things I shouldn't and haven't been doing great with water in the last few days, but I haven't been overeating either.
Thanks for the Happy B-day, Julie.
Wednesday went pretty well and as planned for food. Thursday, I did alot of straightening around the house which really made me feel great. I actually am beginning to feel a sense of control over my house. At this time last year things were scattered everywhere as the family tried to make room for all the medical equipment. We sure have come along way in the past year and then some. The key to simplify the home is really working and I don't think I ever want to go back to just having stuff that you will one day use.
Thursday, I had an omelet w/mushrooms, & cheese, ham & strawberries for breakfast. Lunch was the rest of the taco salad. Supper was homemade pizza, of which I ate too much, but at least it was thin crust, small pieces, and lots of veggies. There was a snack or two in there, but I can't remember what. Water was so so.
Yesterday, I cleared out alot of Girl Scout paperwork and got the majority caught up and ready for the new year which begins in a few months. I should be able to put it all away after Monday, which will really feel good. I also went through more magazines and took out pictures or plans that give me ideas for the house and put the ideas in a binder. Now, all the magazine stacks are gone, save a few for the "coffee table". I figured, I can easily keep that under control. Plus now I have all the various ideas for decorating various rooms in a one inch binder which takes up far less space and allows me to see everything for a project all at once. Go me!
Breakfast yesterday was a one egg omelet with mushrooms, gr peppers, onions, & cheese, ham, strawberries, & milk. (I have been doing well with introducing milk back into my diet). AM snack was a tbsp of PB. Lunch was a few grilled chicken strips, followed by a few nuts. (I have been keeping whole nuts on the table as a snack which works well as it takes longer to crack the shells so no handfuls, they aren't salty, and they have protein). Then I fell apart a little and had some chips and 2 reeses pb cups. For supper, we went to Panera for my birthday dinner (Appleby's was overly busy). I had French Onion soup, a baguette, & tea. Afterwards, I had 1/2 of a cinnamon scone. Water wasn't great for the day, but better.
The great thing is that I am eating less throughout the day, I am getting plenty of sleep, and I am managing to avoid eating late at night. The exercise will come. For right now, that is actually alot to accomplish at one time. But I can see it already paying off in weight loss, increased energy, and a relaxed state of mind.
Today, I plan to continue with getting the GS paperwork under control, only about 1/2 hour more. Plus I plan to start on some bookwork. Tonight we have our last GS event.
