I am finding it easy to eat well now. The stuff I used to crave sort of turns my stomach a bit when I think about eating it.
Pasta, bread, butter, cream sauces, all seem more like paste and greasy goop now.
I am grateful the whole foods I'm eating taste so great. I still can't get over the fact that I'm eating fruits on a regular basis. I never ate fruit. I was good about salads along with my breads, pastas, etc. But they had lots of cheese and meats in them.
I ate raw all day until dinner. It really gives you so much energy but you have to really keep nuts in each mini meal or you'll never be able to eat enough calories to keep you strong and healthy. I had pine nuts throughout the day with various veggies and fruits. I ate half an avocado with an ear of raw corn today for one of my meals ending with some grapes. It was filling and delicious.
Everything tastes so different than it used to taste. My cup of coffee has so much more flavor than I ever remember it having.
In addition to all this, water, water, water and my skin looks so much brighter than just a month ago.
Still hacking away at crunches and arms mostly in the morning and a bit before bedtime.
Well, I've lost 20 lbs so far. I can breath in my clothes again. I find bending down a pleasure compared to how I felt 20 lbs ago. Sometimes I felt like if I had to get on the floor for any reason, that I'd have to struggle to get up.
My back fat is diminishing, my stomach has shrunk so much, and I'm seeing a difference in my neck already.
Losing this weight has done wonders for my esteem at work. I feel so much more energy now.
