It's been a busy couple of days. Over the weekend we were busy with some social events and I have to say, have been getting easier and easier. Saturday we were at a friends house for a wine night and I brought a veggie tray and a nearly fat free caramelized onion dip. I used FF Greek yogurt and FF sour cream but with the caramelized onions and spices mixed it it tasted sinfully delicious. I had a glass of wine that I fooled myself into feeling like it was more. Each time I just poured 1/5 of a glass. Nice to socialize. I did partake in two stuffed mushrooms that night which had minimal breadcrumbs in, but that was probably the best choice I could have made. Next day we had a family party with my DH's husbands side. I knew this one would be tough. We ate a late lunch that day so I didn't arrive starving but as the afternoon wore into evening I got hungry and searched out a few things. Decided upon a green salad, green beans and a small piece of steak. I didn't get enough protein so on the way home we stopped at the gas station and I had beef jerky. I am proud of myself though, I chose the best thing available to keep me on plan. Yesterday was a normal day but in the evening I had ladies poker. I made my roasted chick peas and snacked on a few of those and fresh raw veggies (no dip). There were so many temptations there but I stayed the course and guzzled about 50 oz of seltzer to curb my appetite. I do feel like it's getting easier to avoid the bad stuff and I am losing my taste for it although it still looks great!
People have been beginning to comment on my weight loss and are noticing the difference especially those I don't see on a regular basis. I am noticing a difference when I look at pictures. In the mirror it doesn't seem like a big deal, but I have lots of energy and my kids are enjoying all of the healthy food. That is a big motivator to me. I love that they enjoy fresh smoothies, zucchini bread with no sugar and lots of fresh veggies. This couldn't have begun at a better time. I am loving being part of the CSA as I go through the journey. The fresh produce is amazing and so tasty. What a difference! I have today, tomorrow and most of the day Thursday till weigh in. I have plateaued again and have just lost a few ounces since last weigh in last Thursday. I am hoping the same thing will happen that happened last week and the scale budges tomorrow and Th. But if not, I know I am doing all the right things and it will budge eventually. A friend told me yesterday that my last blog really spoke to her and her own relationship with her Mom who has food issues. She said she never saw her Mom as anything but beautiful and never saw her size. I pray that's true of my own kids. I work so hard to teach them that everyone comes in different packages but on the inside we all have the same hearts. But I am feeling more confidant in what I am wearing and feel like clothes are fitting better. Nothing is really loose yet but that's because everything was tight before or stretchy. I will continue on this day just like the past 30, one meal and one day at a time.
