Got on the scales at the crack of dawn this morning...and I have lost 5 lbs from my down-and-dirty-carbo- busting-quickie-diet this week. It's affirming to see the numbers MOVE. Of course this week just affirmed for me that changing WHAT I eat is a critical key point in my success...and one I've wanted to ignore thus far. So I'll need to make some adjustments in my food choices-although I'm not ready to get on the no-carb bandwagon-I GET IT: fewer carbs, more momentum.
On another note-this is my BDAY Weekend!!! Hubby gave me $$$ for clothes shopping and I bought new pants, tops, and jewelry at some cute, trendy stores (that I had been avoiding in my previous chub-state) and then he bought me some REAL running shoes. Of course I had to take this week off due to sore knees, but I'm actually looking forward to getting back on the asphalt to try this "running thang" again... who knew I would ever be someone who would say that?!? Laws-a-mercy...
Band living sure does give a gal some new things to think about!
Amazing weight loss! I know that I need to do the same thing but am avoiding it at the moment!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI think I will copy that line "Fewer carbs, More momentum" and post on my fridge :)
LOL - you go girl! Happiest of birthdays to ya! What a wonderful hubby you have :). I tried the low carb diet thing pre-LapBand and I hated it...I just didn't get how eating eggs and meat all day would be the healthiest thing in life. Ah well. I DO get that I need to work more on my protein, though, so I'll follow suit!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday and congratulations on your weight loss, you're doing great!
