Okay, so two days ago, the scale said 142 (10 pounds down!), yesterday it said 144, and today it said 143. So I'm psyched. It's definitely coming off, and I'm rounding up to 10 pounds, because it will be more than that soon, I'm sure!
No other real news to report, except I still feel aches and pains here and there - nothing more than what I like to call "twinges", so I am still hoping this means things inside of me are healing slowly while on this diet.
My hubby has added some bread and meat back into his diet sparingly, but my mother-in-law and I are still going strong on the Hallelujah Diet! Speaking of my mother-in-law, she was such a blessing today and surprised me by bringing over more carrots and other produce I was in desperate need of from Whole Foods. I was stressing about when I'd be able to get to the store since I was completely out of carrots after one glass of carrot juice this morning. She was so sweet to think of me and go out of her way to do that! Thank you, Mom!
I talked to my dad on the phone yesterday, and his response to my ten pounds lost was "Oh my goodness! That's like me losing THIRTY pounds!!!" It made me feel like I've accomplished a lot already, and it might be pretty obvious that I've lost weight to someone who doesn't see me every day. Dan mentioned today, though, that I look thinner every day, so I guess it's noticeable even to those who DO see me on a daily basis.
I think I've adjusted my goal now too. I am not completely committed, but I might keep going on this diet until I reach my ideal weight of 120. I just think if the weight loss slows down, I might lose some motivation and stick with my goal of April 30 (if I make it that long!). We'll just play it by ear and see how it goes! I do have to say I'm getting sick of salads. I eat two a day, so I need to find a way to liven those up a bit. I still love the fruit I have as snacks. I wish I could eat a little more fruit, but I know the veggies are more important because of the nutrients they're loaded with. Dan and I have also found a favorite snack for the evenings when we watch TV in bed. In a pan, we pop some organic popcorn in organic EVOO and season it with Celtic sea salt. SO GOOD!!! It's our special treat. Yum!
That's all for now! I'll try to update again soon as I see my progress this coming week.
You're welcome! Love, Mom
