Tonight, we are grilling steak and I am going to put a mile in on Nordi (my treadmill). Two days down, and doing well! Accomplishing things, even little things, such as following a plan for two days, feels good. It's motivation to continue! It's motivation to do better, too. Not only am I eating well for dinner today, but I ate healthy for breakfast and lunch, too!

I stepped on the scale this morning, because I was feeling lighter and I was curious. I was surprised to see that I was already down 3 pounds in 3 days. Results not typical; I call that, water weight. Regardless, I am happy to see it gone. I am down to 232.4 this morning and hoping to get in to the 220's even sooner than I had originally hoped!
I'm thinking of 3 reasons why I lost these 3 pounds. What I've come up with is that...
1. I made a change
2. I made a plan
3. I stuck to the plan
I suppose I could elaborate more on number one. I made a change in that I began tracking my food intake more regularly, I began drinking the necessary amount of water each day, and I started exercising again. Another three important things for me to do in order to lose weight.
Month long plateau at 233 lbs., I bid you farewell!

When making a salad, what kind of lettuce do you use?
- I love romaine, but I usually buy what is on sale.
I love romaine for salads. I also use it as a shell for tacos, sloppy joes and fajitas.
ReplyDeleteYay! I had similar results this morning!! We rock!
ReplyDeleteI like green leaf lettuce, but I also like spring mix and baby spinach.
I like green leaf, spring mix, baby spinach, and butter lettuces! Nothing too crunchy, otherwise it freaks my mouth out:)
