Hello people!
Today was a gloomy and sometimes a little snowy Monday here in Central Ohio. I was getting used to somewhat warmer weather and here the cold and snow is back! I didn't really expect it to last anyways, still being January! We have gotten blizzards in April before! LOL! So why should this year be different? Maybe I need one of those light boxes? But I am actually in a pretty good mood today! Yesterday when I got on the scales I had lost weight! YAY! Maybe the plateau of the last several months is finally at an end! This Friday is my birthday...my 50th birthday! Because of taking care of myself the last year as I have been, I feel better then I have in years. So 50 is going to be a GREAT age to be! I can see the light at the far end of the tunnel the past 4 years have been! God is soooo good! Ok, now for the journals!

ReplyDeletethe food and exercise looks good for today! i'm very impressed with your menu especially :) i dont know how you eat so low fat, tho! LOL! (you know me, the fat advocate ;) hehe) but i know it helps cut calories so you just keep it up!! =)
okay i'm such a dingdong! i got distracted by hubby while writing the first comment...and i forgot to say...
ReplyDeleteYAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! PAR-TAY!!!! you big loser!! haha. did i see 2.5lb on facebook??
woohoo!! =D
I guess part of the low fat thing is we use the spray margarines most of the time now. I know there is still some fat in them but it is hard to tell so I probably do get plenty yet! LOL! YOu will see on today's (Tuesday) that I had 2 slices of low sodium bacon...yeah it was still mostly fat but I didn't use anything on my muffin then.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes--2.5 pounds this week! Now I need to stay OFF the scales until Sunday! You know how weight chnages day to day and I don't want to be discouraged!
