OMG! I cannot believe today's weigh-in showed a 3.7 pound loss! It's so funny because all week I kept saying I felt like l lost 5 pounds. I knew that wasn't the case but I had hoped for 3--and I was beyond pleasantly surprised. I don't expect that much each week and as disappointing as 2 pounds might seem it is really best. But an occasional bigger loss is like getting a bonus in your paycheck.
One thing this diet is doing for me is making me leave the table when I start to feel full. I do believe my stomach is shrinking and once I am down to my weight I will be able to eat smaller portions. That is one of the keys to keeping it off--I am sure. Eating right and exercising are the other two keys and I seem to have no problem with lean and green. I also go to the gym--so I just might have this.
YAY!! Oh Mary, I feel so bad it's taken me all week to get on here!! I'm so happy for you!!! I hope this has been a good week for you for this Monday too!!
ReplyDeleteWell, it's been another week and I had to weigh in today. I only lost 1/2 pound but I'm going to take it. I never expected to lose as much as I did last week so I think it kind of balances out.
ReplyDeleteI decided I would have a cheat day once I reach the 25 pound mark. I just can't decide what I want--a drink--a desert--Indian--Chinese? This is so tough
have only a cheat meal, not a whole day, and be sure to follow up with lotsa exercise. Keep going Mare!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is all I plan to cheat. It is going to be one of those things on my list.
