Well I have made it two months and hit a new milestone today after a week of not much headway. I am at 196.5 or 37 pounds off! We got an elliptical machine last weekend and I have been doing 15-20 minutes on it a day. I did a couple days in the pool as well. I also have started using the livestong website's MyPlate Food diary to track my eating and exercise. It is pretty easy to do and helps me see that I am doing ok in that department.
Have noticed that it really bothers waiters when you say no to any drink including water! They keep coming back to see if I'm thirsty now. I found that if I had water in front of me I will drink it while I eat without thinking. So its easier to just not have it around. I finally say ok to water then move it to Paul when they bring it. It makes them happy. My mom in law also is constantly asking me if I have enough to eat and do I want something when we eat with them. We had spagetti the other night with zucchini and garlic bread. I passed on the bread, cut 1/2 a zuc into little pieces and topped it with sauce trying to get more meat than sauce. I put about 1/4 c of pasta on my plate and nibbled at it too. I was fine but she thought I was starving. Oh well.
Really enjoying having fresh fruit, watermelon has been great as is the bounty of berries available now. We do lots of fresh green beans, zucchini and mushrooms too.
My peach tree is starting to produce and I have added one of them to my shakes and even made some taste syrup out of one with a teaspoon of lite maple syrup and a touch of vanilla. I splurged and made french toast out of low carb, high fiber and protein bread and an egg and dipped it in the peach syrup. It was wonderful and got me through a carb craving.
Next week I will be at Gleanings for the Hungry processing peaches with 21 of my closes friends (teens and another mom). I hope to report that it was a weight loss bonus week! Back in a week!
