Yes! I am back well and happy. My office still looks like the aftermath of a hurricane, but I now have the energy to deal with it. Still have a few PEO items on my TODO stack, but all-in-all life is good!
The scale said 218.0 this morning. That puts me 18.8 lbs down since the first of the year when I started this journey. And it hasn't been hard. Every now and then I get hungry for a hamburger, and I could satisfy that if I wanted. But more often than not, it passes and I go on my merry way. There is so much that is healthy to eat out there if one just knows what to look for. Salads, veggies, and chicken are your friend!! The most obvious change has been cutting out pizza for dinner and hamburgers and fries for lunch. But I'm never hungry or feel deprived.
I think I am more and more like my Mother every day. I remember, after her first stroke, she decided it was finally time to lose weight. And it just poured off her. She did basically the same thing as I am ... only her downfall was Blue Bell ice cream ... like 3 half-gallons a week!! We each have our Achilles heel, I suppose. Thank goodness I don't miss sweets ... somehow I think that would be harder to take.
Just finished up the planning with the Hamletts for a Disney trip in December. There will be more details on that, and my upcoming cruise on my travel blog, so check it out.
