So I got on the scale this morning, figuring to only see 1 lb lost, but got the surprise of losing 2 instead. Which is great. I'm not losing weight as fast as I wanted, but I'm still losing & that's what counts. And I have changed my lifestyle by leaps & bounds. I eat the foods I want, but they have changed. Like last night for instance, I was so hungry for pizza. So we had Portabella Pizzas. It was a whole portabella mushroom with sausage, pesto, marinara, and cheese on it instead of a high calorie crust. Which did you know that portabellas have twice the amount of potassium as a banana? The biggest loser book said that you could eat 2 of the pizzas & 1/2 cup of grapes. By the time I got done with one pizza & my grapes I was comfortably full. Where as a regular pizza from Domino's Pizza I would have eaten 2 or 3 slices, felt full and then hungry again in about 2 hours and very unhappy with myself. But I still allow myself a small bit of dark chocolate once in a while as a treat. Which I used to demolish a whole chocolate bar before. Don't deprive yourself of the things you love to eat is the point I'm getting at, because in the end we all know what happens, we binge on it when we finally allow ourselves to eat whatever it is. And then we feel worse which normally causes you to eat more & feel bad about ourselves. Just switch out your calories and make room for what your hungry for. The you can feel good that you got to eat what you really wanted to & that you didn't over do it on calories.
On another note, I can hardly wait for winter to be over. The snow can be pretty, but I hate it. I don't want to go anywhere and its slowing me down. I know, just another excuse. But tonight I'm going to exercise on the Wii Fit if I can't get to the gym. (Korry is on call so who knows when he will have to go to work)
Only 17 more pounds until I'm at 199! Under 200 pounds for the first time in a VERY long time.
