Healthy Weight Loss

[JustJo]

Yesterday afternoon, my son suggested that we go to a mexican restaurant nearby for dinner. He almost never does this; in fact, when I ask if he wants to go out to eat he generally says no...he prefers my cooking.

So....Labor Day....his suggestion...sounded great to me...we went.

I decided not to try to follow my new eating pattern, but to simply order what I wanted and enjoy the meal.

I ate the chips and salsa (they have really yummy ones)...and ordered a meal that I've had many times before.

Normally, I clean my plate.

Last night, I ate all that I wanted....and realized that, even feeling stuffed, I had only eaten half of what I normally would.

My stomach has definitely shrunk.

This morning, the scale was holding steady....same as it read yesterday.

Today, back to eating normally.....black coffee, 1 slice of whole wheat toast with tuna salad for breakfast.

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend!

well I made it through the day all juice, fruit and veggies. My salad with a little bit of EVOO. By 8PM I was climbing the walls, broke down and ate a piece of bread. I need to keep working at it tho. I don't intend on only ever eating just fruits and veggies but wanted to transition to make fasting easier. I'd like to fast a few days a month with only green veggies juice.

Wanton Boi came over to clean for me and really wanted me to make lamb curry for him. I'd like to cook it for hym but I know I'll break down. I'm a real foodie especially for fine foods. Hy will just have to wait.

I was watching extreme couponing and although I think its great they can save so much money I cringed at the baskets of stuff they are buying. So much processed food, so many chemicals and packaging. It made me wonder who is really sponsoring these shows? Know what I mean?

For me being healthy also means respect for the environment. These past few years I am learning about a connection that is total. A balance in everything I do. It's a multi-fold process for me.
