Day 1, Week 3 Holiday Cruise to Lose! (Wow, week 3 already!)
Good Morning morning all you lovely, wonderful, BEAUTIFUL, health minded Fat Secret Peoples!Power Yoga this AM felt SOOOO good! I made an exercise date to walk the Saturday mornings until Sat Yoga Starts up again in Feb. So that will be nice. We are gonna walk near her house :) 1.5 mile loop and do more when we feel up to it.
Old Man Scale: 239 this AM Wahoo!!!
Made an interesting omelet for myself this morning. It is Tasty! (eating it now) but man is it ugly! If I am gonna make it for someone else I would have to tweak it. I took about a cup of broccoli florets and 2/3 of a cup of generic medium salsa and food processed them. I did 2 Omega three eggs and beat them with a touch of 1% milk paprika, dried onions, garlic, cayenne, chili powder, salt, pepper, cumin, and curry. Just a touch of each. I started the omelet with those and then poured in the salsa/broccoli mixture and added shredded Parmesan. Between it being a little too watery and my putting it in too soon it would like scrambled eggs with extras. But man it is tasty!!
Introspection: I hit my first big milestone these last few weeks. The last time I seriously followed South Beach I started at about 242, I believe. At that time I lost 40lbs down to a weight of 202 and I could not seem to get past the barrier of the 200s at that time. I think it also took me longer to even get to the point I am now.
I feel less deprived, now, and I never did phase one and I am not being horridly strict so I am therefore not rebelling against myself. I am soooo very grateful for all the tools on this site and all the absolutely wonderful people and support I have interacted with and received here.
THANK YOU!!! The next big milestone is that 200 marker to get past the hill I hit last time. I will have many mini goals in between but that is the next biggie.
Anyway was just thinking about that. My big goals are 200, 175 (back to HIGH school weight) and then 150 which I have not seen in my adult life. I am not going to put them on a time line. I will put mini goals on time lines because I find that motivational, but I don't want to think of the length of the journey on the big ones :)
