Well, tomorrow is weigh-in day, and for the first time I'm actually looking forward to it! I just FEEL good. I'm making the healthy choices almost every time and I'm very proud of myself. Thank you Glad for getting me started. I have to share a funny story. I've mentioned before that the hardest part about eating healthy is my husband. To him food = love and he just didn't seem to get it that I didn't want junk in the house. He thought I secretly wanted it and he would bring it in and leave it around so I could "sneak" it. Finally after a good heart to heart talk he started to understand that I WANT to improve my eating to improve my health. I am not able to do the grocery shopping because of my weak muscels, so he does it. This week, he asked me exactly what did I want from the store. I told him veggies, lots of them. I said it was ok to buy frozen, probably best because they would last longer and there was a bigger variety this time of year. Well he came home all proud of his "healthy shopping" and started to empty the bags. The veggies? Well, there was broccolli in CHEESE sauce, peas in BUTTER sauce, CREAMED corn. I just had to laugh! I told him we have a long ways to go in educating him about healthy eating! At least he tried!!!!! |
