In case anyone is wondering, we ended up getting probably 3 inches of snow. We also got some rain first, so the snow was on top of a layer of what turned into hard icy slushy stuff. It isn’t really slippery, but it doesn’t come off the sidewalk, either. I guess we have to wait for a sunny day to work on that. I suppose I could salt it, but it hardly seems necessary, since it isn’t really slippery.
Still haven’t even been tempted to have any sugar, even though my receptionist made home-made donut holes over the weekend and they looked and were (people said) very delicious. But I just knew that I couldn’t have them, so I didn’t even want them. You wouldn’t think three or four days would make such a difference, but I can really see in the way I look that I’m off sugar again. My face looks healthy again – much less bloated-looking and a healthy color. I don’t notice the changes right away when I go back to eating sugar, but it doesn’t take long to notice the changes once I stop eating it.
Sweet potatoes baking in the oven for supper. Can’t wait!
I thought I’d just give a run down of my menu, in case any of you are thinking of making menus. To me, this is a really yummy day.
Breakfast: oatmeal with a few golden raisins and walnuts thrown in; a cutie
Snack: SlimFast (cappucino – my favorite!)
Lunch: romaine with dry roasted edamame and dressing; 1 egg and 2 egg whites with chunks of bread, fried in a little olive oil (I call this Eggs Plus), a serving of canned peaches in juice.
Snack: banana; orange fizzle-wizzle
Supper: pulled pork on a diet bun; sweet potato; soy milk
Snack: sugar free pudding
Just for the record, that is about 6 1/2 servings of fruits and vegetables
Way to go! Sounds like things are going really well!
I would say things are going well. I just got home from candy making at my monthly food lab activity. I think the fact that I knew in advance that it would be hard for me to resist is what made it possible for me not to have even a tiny lick of anything. I was mentally prepared to resist. Also this morning when I had my chiropractor appt. and we talked about stuff and I mentioned I’m trying to get serious about losing the weight, he was really supportive. That makes me really want to be able to tell him when I see him again in April that I’ve lost like 10 pounds or something. (I like people to be proud of me…silly, I know)
Nope, I don’t think that is silly at all. I crave people telling me I’m doing a good job at things. 🙂 I like the affirmation. And when it’s SUCH HARD work to stay on track certain days, the extra affirmation is definitely needed!
And did you say “Mashed Potato Candy?” I admit that it sounds kind of disgusting… I think I would rather just eat candy and mashed potatoes separately. Haha!
