Well folks. I got weighed and measured today at the gym by the trainer!



Three more pounds off.  I am now at 232 lbs.  Down from 243 lbs.

I have lost a total of six inches too off the body!

Pretty darn good for the me!

Eating??? Hahahah! My trainer makes me write down what I eat.  Today I had all you can eat tea at the Huntington Museum.  Geez.

I work out three days a week.  Usually 45 inside and and hour in the pool.  Sometimes just an hour work out.  Depends on the mood.

Down another .2 today when I left dialysis. :bandance;

I'm trying not to consider this a diet - just a lifestyle I'm switching to instead of the oversized meal plan I used to be on.  My gram wanted to eat out the other day, so off we went to Big Boy, her favorite restaurant.  I was craving a burger, since I haven't had any red meat in a while, so I scanned the menu and ordered the smallest one they serve, and had the salad bar instead of fries.  When the waitress set my little plate with the plain burger next to the veggie pile I had gotten at the salad bar, my gram piped up, "Where's your fries?"   I didn't order any, gram.  I'm having a salad.  "How can you have a burger without fries?"  Hmmmmm. . . .just like this!  Then I had a plate of fruit from the salad bar for dessert instead of the hot fudge brownie thing I would have gotten before.  I left feeling full and satisfied without being crammed to the gills.  It felt good, even if I had to listen to gram's griping about how I'm too worried about my weight and I shouldn't lose anymore or I'll look bad.  HA! (What part of having two chins instead of three is making me look worse, I can't imagine.)  I still haven't figured out why my getting skinnier and healthier bothers her, but I'm ignoring her attempts to sabotage my weight loss. 
40 pounds off, 40 to go!

jbeany...you just described my thinking about food to a tee.  It works really well for weight control and general health and once you get used to it there's no going back.  Your colon will thank you too.  I admire you for taking charge of your long term health.  Big hugs.
