It's a Miracle

Yep I am still working at it.  That in its self is a miracle. Have lost between 15 and 20 pounds so far. Depending on what time of the day I weigh and what I am wearing at the time.  (Which is usually nothing.  Cant blame it on the clothes that way). It has definitely not been easy.  I have had several "down" days. Days that I totally lost control and so wanted to quit.  Missing my comfort foods has been the hardest part.  You know the Cheesy Potato Soup,  Chicken and Noodles over mashed potatoes, Chili with cheese over macaroni.   But.... I have found new foods that I am addicted to.  Like fish!  I never really liked fish that much.  Now I cant wait until I get it again.  Some things that have helped me not totally go back to old eating habits are: I have chocolate everyday.  Sometimes in a Fiber One bar.  Sometimes 2 or 3 little dark chocolate squares or a fun size bag of M & M's. I also have one cheat day every week. Which I usually dont get too carried away on but do treat myself to stuff that is not on my regular diet. Like maybe just a small order of McD'S fries instead of a large one with a double cheeseburger.  Oh and I still am going to see Mr. Gym.  Yep, everyday. Well I did miss a few when I was traveling but that is it.  It is still a boring relationship but my goal is to do a 5K with my son in October and finish it in less that an hour.  So, right now that is what is keeping me going.

Happy New Years

Talked Superman into going with me to the gym yesterday so that made twice in one day. Then this morning went and had some biscuits and gravy for breakfast. I know, I know, it sounds like an awful thing to have when you are trying to diet but..... I had one reg serving instead of two heaping plate fulls plus I added an extra 15 minutes on the treadmill to total an entire hour of walking. And tonight for dinner, I had broiled fish and salad. (For lunch, one serving of tortilla chips and home made salsa)
So Happy New Year.  Looks like it could be on the right track.
