Well, today is exactly 3 weeks since I started on this new journey. I had started the day after Christmas and I am proud to report that I have lost 7.8 pounds during those 3 weeks. Today I met a huge milestone too. I made it back into one-derland....that is when the first digit on the scale is a 1. Woot woot. Three weeks ago I weighed 207.6 and today I am 199.8. I never want to see a two in the front, EVER again. I was in one-derland about a year ago and some how had let myself slip. Here is a commitment to NEVER see it again.
I am not going to lie. For the first time it seems to be much easier. Every other time I have done weight loss I have felt hungry and deprived. I am not sure why it feels different this time, I can't quite put my finger on it. The truth is that I really like healthy food. I enjoy fruits, vegetables, lean meats and limited carbs. I think the trick has been planning. I love to cook and I have been making some really good meals. I have made them lighter by tweaking some of the ingredients but they have been yummy. I have still allowed myself small indulgences. I still drink one coke zero a day, I also eat one small piece of dark chocolate. I have also found these new fiber one brownies that are 90 calories and actually taste really good.
I have began to enjoy a cup of hot tea in the afternoon. 3PM is my weakness, it is when I start to get hungry and want a snack; lately I have been eating my 90 calorie brownie and a cup of hot tea with agave nectar in it. It fills and warms my belly and makes me feel full and satisfies my sweet tooth. What are your healthy indulgences? I have also really been loving the small cutie oranges that are in season right now. They are so easy to peel and only 45 calories; my kids love them too!
Starting a new week today! Hold me accountable. Those of you planning to come to Zumba on Saturday, bring your A-game, cause it is going to be a tough workout....I plan to BRING IT!
