Hey everyone! It has been ages since I've posted. I've been so swamped at work and at home. I also usually just hit new posts and I've been neglecting the weight loss thread. Sorry Glad! But I'm back. Things are going well for me. I do fall off the wagon once in a while, but unlike the old days, if I eat something unhealthy I don't tell myself forget it, I just can't do this healthy eating thing. Instead I regroup and get right back to healthy eating. I've been traveling for work and just love when someone else makes me a meal and it's all good for me. If I could hire a chef at home I'd be really happy! Hubby still likes to cook "his way" and he does most of the cooking, but I see him making some healthy choices without even realizing he's doing it...like choosing whole grain pasta instead of the white heart attack on a plate. He bought chicken strips and salmon steaks! How cool is that???? I'm down to 195 which means I've lost 20 pounds. I feel a difference in the way my clothes fit. In fact, I'll be needing some new things for summer! Yeah I love an excuse to shop. My doctors are fiddling with my medications again which makes my blood sugar go up, which means more insulin, which means weight gain so I'm very proud of the fact that I haven't gained anything back. This healthy eating is becoming second nature to me now, I find myself heading for the fruits and veggies and not the desserts without having to think about it! That to me is a major change in my life! |
