Feeling good. I only lost one pound last week but that's ok. A loss is a loss and since I am also retaining water due to "Woman Issues" that makes it even better. So far in 20 days I have managed to lose 5.4 lbs with healthy eating and exercise.
I had what I would call a "temptation" this weekend. My great Uncle died and I went to a family gathering after his service. At this gathering there was every comfort food that I used to eat. Fried Chicken, Pulled Pork, bake beans, mac & cheese, potato salad....and soda everywhere. I stayed strong and while feeding the kids, this mama didn't eat any of it. I sat there chewing my gum and drinking my water. I was so proud of myself. THEN we went out to dinner at another favorite place--Cracker Barrel. I love all the deep fried southern foods. So we get there an again this is my 2nd time eating out and 2nd time I order myself a water to drink. GO HEATHER GO HEATHER!! I start looking through the menu and it is so hard because I am really hungry, everything looks good, and I know I have to be careful.
So what did I order -- I got the grilled Rainbow Trout with fresh apple slices, a small baked sweet potato, and salad (mixed greens, 3 grape tomato's, 3 cucumbers). They didn't have any dressing for me so I got Ranch but only used half of their little cup they bring out.
The food was so dang good and I couldn't be more proud of myself. I maintained my better eating with great choices and they filled me up.
So now this week is going to be fun. Wednesday I will be flying most of the day. I will be out of my element from Wednesday coming back on Saturday. I have a plan in place and hope I can maintain my good ways and I would love to see a loss at the end of the week.
What is my key for this week?? Planning.
