No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!
It's working
Why is it so hard to be so good?
This week has been tough for me. Not only have I been "on program," but I've done a lot of good things. I quit Diet Coke. Cold turkey, baby. It's been one week today, and while I miss a cold beverage for dinner that's not water, I'm doing surprisingly well. I've had a fishy week.....took advantage of the recent sale on Dover sole, and I had fish for dinner for 3 out of 4 nights. And I bought loads of veggies, which I've been steaming and eating with my fish. To top it all off, when I reach for a snack, it is now fruit. No more 100-calorie pack orgies. No more pre-packaged madness. Just plain old fruit--- oranges, apples, bananas, cherries, and grapes.
And I feel great!!
My peak of 156.5 is now down to 151.5....and that, ladies and gents, is GOAL. But I want more, because I feel great and I still have a long way to go. I want to replace the fat with more muscle and make this body into a finely tuned athlete. It's going to take a lot more hard work, but I'm willing to give it a shot.
Now, if only I could get the hubby to stop buying garbage and putting it within my reach!

GOAL--girl you should scream it from the mountain top! WTG
Great job on kicking the Diet Coke habit. I also did that at the beginning of the year...cold turkey. I can even have one from time to time now and not find myself craving it.
