I have not been feeling very well this fall and thus not counting or trying to follow the plan or blogging. (And I am eating lots of things I normally wouldn't eat.) Last week, I was feeling so poorly that I made myself try to get out of the funk. So I cooked some food with a lot of vegetables. (I have noticed over the past year that I feel significantly better if I manage to eat more vegetables, even if I can't stop eating candy at work or eat ice cream every day.) Funny, as the week went on and I ate the meals that I made earlier in the week, I felt more in control and was able to make better smarter choices even when I didn't feel as well. Example: I have been working at 8am this week. Due to the depression, I have a really hard time getting out of bed early enough to take public transit to get to work on time and have time to eat breakfast. I have been loosing on the public transit portion but I have been managing to make breakfast and bring lunch. One grumpy morning I really wanted to get a morning pizza, a very lovely thing with prosciutto and an egg on top. It is a kind of heaven. However, I managed to choose to have a homemade sausage sandwich and it was fine. I didn't crave the morning pizza anymore.
Sometimes I think a surprise weight loss is just what I need to get back on track. Think of how much better I would do if I managed to follow the plan. PLUS, I am one pound away from being below 200 LBS. Wouldn't it be so nice if I could do that before Thanksgiving and then maintain (or even loose more) the week of Thanksgiving.
As of today I've lost 33.2 lbs, I bought at new cookbook!
