I have lost another 2.8pds for the week! In 14 weeks that is 33.4lbs. I am fitting into size 8 pants of some brands and very close in others. I am still in shock that I am continuing to lose. Yesterday I started getting a bit anxious about today's weigh in. I added in bread on Saturday and I had no idea how that was going to affect me. Then in the same thought I was like HELLO! you have lost over a 100pds! Even if its a half of a pound you have lost a ton! That was a real eye opener for me. To really see where I have come from and not always be so focused on where I want to be. That can trip you up if it doesn't go exactly as you have planned. I have gone for a mile and half or so run once a week for the last two weeks. My schedule at work has changed so I now have off Wed Thursday and Sundays so Wednesday and Thursday I am going to be getting in some kind of exercise. Seize the little bit of time I have and just do it. The other days I am working 10 hour days so getting in a workout is just not feasible. My transition of adding back in bread although I was worried I have done very wisely. I only eat one serving of bread per day. I got some fresh whole wheat sourdough bread from a local bakery and it is delicious. I also got some whole wheat English muffins. I will have for breakfast a poached egg on either a half of an English muffin or a slice of the bread. I always eat the bread for breakfast so that my body has the entire day to run off it. Instead of having it at dinner time where I am not using the calories like I do moving throughout the day. On a couple mornings I have also had muesli which is good but I am going to try and find a homemade recipe and make it myself and see if I can make it any healthier less sugar mainly. I am also making sure that I have a serving of dairy, milk with my cereal piece of string cheese are the main things that I use. Then of course the serving of fruit. That is almost everyday my frozen blackberries yummmmmyyy!! I have cut back a lot on the yogurt just because of the sugar. I tried the greek yogurt and mixing the berries with it and it wasn't to bad but not my snack of choice. Another way I get in my dairy and fruit is making a smoothy with ice milk and fruit. Easy way to get it all in. I am learning that planning is key! My next feat is going to be coming up with enough snacks that I feel comfortable with and keeping within my balance once I don't have any more medimeals left. That is the next hurdle. So far all hurdle have been cleared with little issues so I need to have confidence in myself that this one will be no different.
One last thing the other day Jason asked me so what are you going to do with the holidays coming up. Are you going to give yourself one day just to cheat? I told him no there are no cheating days. If your cheating then you are not making the lifestyle change. You are still hanging on to your past eating habits. As I was listing off the options that I could have for Thanksgiving I was surprised at what I could have. Whole wheat roll, turkey,sweet potatoes without the marshmallows :-) green beans cauliflower yummmy!, a maybe a tiny slice of pie as my on rare occasions sweet item. I shocked myself at all the options I had. I will most likely be cooking the meal for Thanksgiving so I can make sure for me that I have things that will make me feel good for the day too!!
Another week down and only 5.5 pds to go to my original goal. Once I get there I will reasses going for another 20 pounds. That 20 pounds would put me at my ultimate weight that I want to live my life at.
