Well -- three weeks in and things are going great! I still have a pretty substantial muffin top that I'll be working harder on in the weeks to come, but my clothes are fitting so much better that I can't believe that I was wearing them 10 pounds ago. I've started shopping for my "rewards" -- saw some more cute things in my travels this weekend -- I'm actually starting to look forward to clothes shopping again!
Today was another higher-calorie day, which I can tell already I'm going to look forward to! Those carbs are lasting a long time and I didn't feel the need for any snacks today -- paid close attention to the Hunger/Fullness meter, resisted the temptation to eat out with the kids while we were shopping, and ate my meals on time. Success!!! No gardening as exercise today due to an allergy medication failure, but I did a lot of stairs again. Tomorrow will be back to the workout -- need to get some crunches happening more regularly so I can ditch the roll that's hanging over my waistband right now!
Today's menu:
Breakfast -- 2 poached eggs, medium baked potato (diced & browned), 1 naval orange, green tea, probiotic supplement
Lunch -- chicken salad (greens, cucumber, tomato grilled chicken) with balsamic vinegar/olive oil dressing, 1/2 cup brown rice, coffee
Dinner -- Dr. Mike's chicken soup, probiotic supplement
Confession: I ate a Tim-Bit at 3:00...
Confession: I was badly tempted by the pizza everyone else had for dinner -- it smelled amazing but I managed to resist it...
Good thing I resisted that pizza! Another weigh-in tomorrow morning!
