148

I made it to 148.

I am bored with my diet/eating habits. I guess this is the life changing part. Food is supposed to be for nutrition/health, not entertainment. Hard thing for me to grasp because of my families strong Italian ties to food/heritage. Food was what you did when:

someone was born, or died, or was sick, or was visiting, or getting married, or when everyone was home together.

you bake a big dinner, everyone eats together. it's about the fellowship.

I am struggling with "fellowship" around grilled chicken breasts and broccoli, but we are surviving.

I am off for three days in a row, which is pretty much unheard of, so I am going to try and add walking into my days to see if it helps the loss.

Some of my clothes fit better, which is nice. I feel good, and have more energy, but I just wish it would come off and stay off and I could be done with it.

finally under 150

Today I weighed in at 149.

I suppose in this process of weight loss, that measly little pound that took almost an entire week to shed itself from my body, is not something to be celebrated; but for me it means I am under 150. And psychologically, under 150 is where I just always want to be. I feel better when I am there for some odd reason. It motivates me to continue forward without all my favorite things in life, like soy mocha's and such.

Today I work a late shift (1pm-10pm), so my plan looks like this:

breakfast: eggs, bacon and coffee (black)
lunch: large salad with cukes and ranch
dinner: grilled chicken breast with leaf lettuce and a slice of tomato

no snacks, unless i eat a dill pickle before work. lots of water at work, and sugar free vanilla iced coffee.

Here's to getting to 145....

Another week

I have been fighting a horrible cold this week. I haven't been doing too badly on my food intake, other than I am not very hungry and haven't been eating much. Nothing illegal, just not really enough legal stuff to let me lose much. I am still at 150 today. I am not upset by that because before I started back to this way of eating, I was gaining and struggling to stay at or below 155.

I am off today and doing things around the house, including grocery shopping.

Today's menu:

Breakfast: 3 egg omlette with red and yellow peppers
snack: plan on having celery if i need it
Lunch: big salad with peppers and bacon bits
Dinner is scheduled to be roast beef (it is in the crock pot now) with cauliflower/garlic mash

Water as usual.

No great inspiring thoughts this week, just trying to live through work and my cold.
