Pieces Falling Into Place

So sometimes all the pieces just seem to fall into place,

I had been struggling this week feeling kind of blah

because I was sleeping so much,

I just did not have a lot of energy.

So I felt like all I was doing was eating and sleeping.

I had my weigh in at my meeting tonight.

I was thrilled to see I am down 5 more pounds since

last weigh in.

I have been making some very good choices.

I don't think of this as a diet,

it is just my new lifestyle.

What works for me is eating six times a day,

3 meals, 3 snacks.

I have hardly had more than 2 slices of brown bread a week,

If bread or buns were in my house before

I was all over them.

Another change has been very little processed food.

I actually have noticed that I am starting to crave salads,

Whom ever thought that would happen, not me.

Hubby came home with Chinese food last night.

He had 4 dishes, only one was veggies.

I asked him if he minded if I just ate that one.

And that is what I did, I had one bite of the rest of the dishes

and was satisfied.....Now that is a first for me.

It has been one of my trigger foods all my life.

......

Also today was the first time this year

that I did not use my cane,

What a good feeling that was.

Clothes are fitting better.

I am finding new strength in making better choices.

.............

Example of what I have been eating for a day.

Breakfast yogurt, fibre one, fruit, almonds fits in a small soup bowl

snack apple with 2 tbsp of peanut butter

Lunch, tossed salad about half a plate, 2 slices cheese, 12 almonds, about 10 croutons

and 2 dill pickles

Snack celery, 2 tnsp of  peanut butter

Dinner salad same as lunch, about one cup cooked veg,

one chicken breast

Snack before bed 1 glass of milk

3 arrowroot cookies.

I drink 8 glasses of water

1 coffee with milk and 1 sugar.

.............

Anyway I just wanted you to see that I am

not starving myself

I hope you are doing well.

Until next time,

Cinner 

I have so appreciated all your comments.

I am away from the computer for a few days 

but will reply then.

Thanks for understanding.
