weekly weigh-in

Well, I am down 1.6 lbs this week. I am very happy with that loss considering the weeks I have had previously. This way of eating seems to be working for me. It is a healthy way of feeling satisfied and I am loving some of the meals I have come up with. Last night I had rice with corn, mushrooms and tomatoes and beans and zucchini and some spices and it was really yummy and satisfying.

Thoughts

I have been struggling. Mostly because I am trying to balance my diet with an extremely tight budget and living in a small town that has very limited variety available. But I have decided that I need to get back to basics. I need to quit trying to figure out new ways of doing this and just cut it back to it's simplest form and what worked for me. And basically that was:

- no added fat
- no sugar (sugar gives me cravings and makes me overeat)
- no meat or animal products.

That's it. As simple as that. I can do that.

As for my weigh-in this week, I am pretending not to notice that being sick has made me overeat like crazy and that I am actually up five pounds this week, while I cough and hack and wheeze myself silly.

weekly weigh-in

I lost 1.4 lbs this week. That is not bad considering I decided to relax and just not stress so much about my diet for a while. I am just trying to do my best and not to get so worked up about it. I guess a relaxed me does okay too.
