So Ok today is the start of the new me.
Again it took about a month of “retraining” my brain. Really paying attention to what I was eating and NOT eating.
It was nothing for me to drink 3 cups of coffee for breakfast, 3 diet cokes, no lunch, and scarfing down whatever I could get my hands on when I got home. Which usually included something fried, potatoes and ice cream for dessert.
I would just like to say that my last soda, Dr Pepper to be exact, was June 27th; last piece of bread, June 26th; fried anything same weekend. I can’t even remember the last time I had ice cream.
That in itself is saying something.
Breakfast is usually 1 cup of coffee with silk creamer, 1/4 of egg beaters and sometimes a slice of turkey bacon.
When I order out for lunch it’s usually a hamburger with extra veggies and mustard and I throw the bun away or chicken fajita taco salad no sour cream or cheese.
Dinner is either shrimp, chicken, lean beef or turkey and 2 servings of green veggies.
The hardest part is finding different foods so we won’t get bored!
I still have a lot of weight to lose but with this jumpstart, I can see that it can happen. I’m the lowest I’ve been in over 5 years and only 10lbs away from my lowest in over 10years…if not longer.
For the first time in a long time I feel like I can get there. No more shortcuts, no more easy fixes, I want to work hard for it and do it right and feel proud of the new me!
Aubrey YOU can SO get there - I'm totally impressed with the strides you have made so far and now that you are a happily married woman you have every reason to want and need to get healthy!!! I think about Grandma and Boompa and how I want to be in their shape at their age with Jason!!! Love you...
