So, I am down another 1.2 lbs this week. I have eaten pretty well, probably too much chocolate, but I feel like my body feels different this week. When my husband rubs my back he says my skin feels smoother (maybe less fat underneath?) I feel like my belly hangs different. (TMI?) It's a good thing. I still would like it to be going faster because no one else will see results for quite a while, but I know I am working in the right direction. See Eclipsed for more weigh ins
I really am excited about this ecourse I have been taking. I have done some of the things before, like cooking my own beans (though I never soaked them first which I do now) and I have made stock and cooked chicken before but I am learning traditional methods of doing things which is so much more healthy, and so much more the way I believe God wanted us to eat. I am really happy about the direction I am going with food, my family is doing ok with the changes. I think the hardest part really is planning ahead to make sure there are enough snacks for the kids (I have a 12 year old with a hollow leg) and to make sure I have meat thawed etc, because there's no McD if I didn't pull it together. We are done with that.
I am a bit concerned about us travelling at the end of the month. I don't want to resort to eating out as we go just because it is easier. I am going to try to plan as much for the car as possible. I will write about that next week as I plan ahead and cook ahead. The other concern I have is that we are visiting family and of course will be eating the standard processed food they fix, which of course is not what I prefer. But, I guess it is a small time and since we don't eat like that often, hopefully it will be fine.
Way to go! You know "slow and steady" wins the race. You'll get there and 1-2 lbs. per week is a great weight loss. You're taking it off the right way -- the way that ups your chances that it will stay off when it's gone.
