I'm happy to announce that, as of Tuesday, I've lost over 30 pounds. I had been struggling for the past couple weeks (losing a pound one day, gaining a half pound a few days later), but I feel like I've started to reinvigorate myself towards the diet plan I'm on. I think I took the process for granted and got a little too comfortable being in it (most people would call this "cheating", but I digress).
This diet and weight loss plan have altered me in many ways, not the least of which is my body. I have learned the importance of water on my diet. I have to drink 64oz of it everyday (for a rough conversion, it's about an entire 2 liter bottle).
I've regained appreciation for certain foods, including lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms and have discovered more useful alternatives: eating wraps instead of sandwiches (less starch), using fresh ingredients instead of canned (less sodium) and most of all, just simply reading labels. The government orders the food companies to put them there, so you might as well at least skim them for a second or two and find out what you're eating.
As I said in one of my earliest blog posts, my sister is getting married. Well, now that date is pushed back to late April, so I have more time for more weight loss and hopefully an even bigger surprise.
To this very day, I haven't taken one bite of my most favorite entree (cheeseburger), but as a side note: vegetarian baked beans are just as good as regular, and the sugar free, fat free pudding mixes are very good (chocolate is heavenly, cheesecake flavor is divine).
Here's to being happy and healthy!
