weekly weigh-in

I am down 2.2 lbs this week. I am thrilled to be going in the right direction!

I decided that the first thing I am going to do when we get our financial situation fixed from this disastrous move is join a gym. When the doctor told me about my high cholesterol, he recommended I join one. There is one down the road that has great prices and I love the idea of going out and doing something that is just for myself for just a little while during the day the location is great.

Thoughts

I have been working hard at being healthy lately. The doctor's news about my cholesterol, his pleasure at my being vegetarian and his recommendation that I watch my carbs on my weightloss journey, made me take a look at my diet. I decided to go the low-carb vegetarian route. I am finding it quite easy to be content and full. I have also been doing research on the effects that too much caffeine can have on your body. Given that research, and the effects I have been noticing anyway, I am going to give giving up my coffee another try. I am on day two now and doing okay.

Tonight I had a lovely dish of eggplant, zucchini, tomato and white beans that was completely yummy!

weekly weigh-in

I know this hasn't actually been weekly lately. With the move and all the junk food I have been eating, I admit I was hiding from the scales. Last week I did weigh in and in the seven weeks I hadn't weighed, I gained 8.8 lbs. Not good, but actually less than I had expected all things considered. But this week, I lost 2.4 lbs of it. I am very proud of that. I am back on track and doing the best I can. It can only get easier as Prince Charming starts his new job and our finances get better. It is hard cooking two meals a day, but I have decided I am worth it. My health is worth it. I take care of my family and I need to take care of me to do it.
