Yes- that's right! I have lost 10 pounds! I am so excited and proud and happy and hungry and....relieved! Before I got on the scale today (and I try to use the same one so I can get a decent reading) I was nervous; if my weight stabilized, then I needed to amp it up...if I gained weight, then I would feel so discouraged...but losing another 3 pounds this week really boosted my motivation...cause I just don't have time to work out more. Unless I start doing lunges while I teach...or invent a home liposuction machine...
What makes this so exciting for me is I have only been "healthy" for the past three weeks...pretty good, huh? And in those three weeks, I have drunk wine a few times, I have eaten Italian food, I have eaten two small bite sized pieces of chocolate almost EVERY day, and I still have sugar in my coffee and hot tea. So...it can be done!
Now that I have finished my update and covered what up....let me share some foods I am really enjoying at this moment in time...that means this week:
1. Ancient Red Peppers....taste just like red bell peppers...awesome snack!
2. Individual cottage cheese cups- 90 calories baby and low fat!
3. Beets...from a can...with salad dressing....YUM...
4. Green beans with water chestnuts....try it, I assure you- you will enjoy...
5. Brown rice with a little Terryiaki sauce...Amy Chun makes a sprouted brown rice- find it in the organic section- and it is delish...and pre-portioned!!
So...I guess you get the idea? A good point to make, however, is not to eat or buy things you won't eat. I LOVE all the foods I mentioned, so spending money on them makes sense because I will eat it...losing weight really isn't hard...motivation is hard! But once you hit a few pounds, you just feel soooo much better!! Hopefully next week I will see another few pounds go...10 down, 17 to go!
Signing off,
Miss Mad
