Been getting some more walking and some yard work done. Down another 1.5 lbs to 245.5 which puts me at a point I can change that avatar again. Woohoo! Gonna do that in a second.
It is amazing how my energy level has changed. I am getting so much more done around the house now. Hoping to get some cleaning and cooking done today. Rainy here right now, so no yard work today.
Last night, I walked so much longer and my ds rode his bike with me. What fun! If the rain stops, we are heading to a local park with his bike --- where he can ride and I can walk and see him at all times. Love it!
Yesterday at work, I wore one of my new 1x shirts. -- Been wearing the baggy 3x shirts....... finally got some folks noticing the weight loss. Guess all the baggy clothes camouflaged it for them. One lady said 'oh my God, what have you done?' She confided that she has been trying to lose weight. We ended up having a great conversation and she is going to read more about low carbing. I am going to let her borrow my Atkins and South Beach books...... but like I told her, you have to be informed about what is 'legal' in this woe ----- but the main thing, is finding what works for you. Fortunately, I have been able to do that without too much struggle. Now I realize that I could hit a stall any time -- and am just praying that when that happens, I will be able to make it through, tweak my woe, and continue on.
Hugs to all! Keep on keeping on!
Oh, a funny moment.... one person at my office actually told me to 'don't lose too much weight. You won't look right skinny.' --OMG!! I am nowhere near skinny and that comment was just hilarious to me!! AND BY THE WAY, I am getting to goal before I start maintenance. lol! Goal is still 100.5 lbs away. --- but to be 60.5 gone is incredible to me. I thank God every day!
Gotta get busy. Have a pork roast to cook, cream cheese muffins (gonna try lemon extract instead of vanilla), sf jello, green beans, broccoli and some fresh strawberries. Gonna be eating well for the weekend.
Having a birthday dinner for my Mom who is turning 80 -- and gonna keep it all low carb -- except for a tiny cake for her. My ds and a couple other folks will probably have some cake too, but not for me. I no longer even want cake. That is so awesome.
