The scales finally moved. Down about a lb and a half. I hated that they hadn't move for a week. I know...only one week but still....lol. As long as it keeps moving - down.
I went out to lunch with a friend yesterday...Chinese Buffet. I've been so hungry for Chinese so we decided to go there. I was very careful.....picked veggies, and chicken, shrimp and crab....looking for low salt things, just a few pieces of each. I passed up on a few things I would have loved to have had, but I knew better. Still, after all that, my plate was full. It's so easy to go overboard there. I enjoyed it and won't be going again for quite awhile, and like I said, my scales were down this morning. FS says it'll take me 14 months to get to my goal weight. That looks very depressing if I take it that way. I'm still looking at it as ten lbs ten times. So I've done it one and a half times in 5 weeks. (I've lost about 15 lbs so far.)I'll get there....a day at a time.

Just thought I'd drop in and post a little. I've been eating right but the scales haven't moved since last Wednesday. I think I need to get moving a little more. It seems awfully early for me to have a plateau....only one month. But I'm not giving up. If it wasn't so hot and muggy out, I'd go walking. Instead, I'll start doing my Walk Away The Pounds dvd. At least I'll be moving.

Hello. I haven't been on for a few days.....been busy over the holiday but enjoyed it thoroughly. And I was good. I didn't eat over yesterday. We had hamburgers last night and I ate two because I like them so much and I've been so good. Looks like they didn't hurt me because I've gone down 2.4 lbs this week. Very happy about that. We're going out with friends tomorrow night for dinner. I looked up what I could have so I wouldn't go over. It all depends on where we go. I don't mind the fat and calories so much as I do the sodium. It's amazing how much there is in food. My hubby likes Jersey Mike's but the sodium in some of their sandwich is 1000 over what I'm supposed to have in one day (2000)! He doesn't care. He says he wants to be happy and enjoy his life. I ask him "Even if that means living two months eating whatever as opposed to 20 years eating decently?" He says yes. smh....... I just want to feel healthy and stop hurting so much. It's only been 13.2 lbs so far, but I can feel a difference already. I just want to keep going. I'm not giving up.

I got hungry late last night for something salty so I had 6 Special K chips. Sour Cream and Onion but they have lots of different flavors. 27 chips has 110 cal, 2.5 grams fat, 230 sodium, 22 carbs, 2 protein. And I don't usually have a whole serving. 14 chips is quite a lot and 6 is better than nothing at all. Sometimes all I need is a taste of something and it's enough. And these are so good. Sorry, sounds like I'm an advertisement. lol
Hubby and I are going to the grocery store to get the things our local store didn't carry. I like the Olivio spray butter. It's better than I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. I'd also love a head of cauliflower but at $4 a head, I just can't spend it. I am very cheap. It amazes me how expensive fruit and vegetables are now. Apples are $1.99 a lb! I hate spending it but I know I have to do it to eat healthier. And the government wonders why people are overweight. A salad at Wendy's costs $5-$6 but a two cheeseburgers at McD's are less than $2. It cost more to eat healthy! Ok....I'm off my soapbox...just for now. ;)

Great weekend. We had pizza Friday night. Not what I'd had planned but he suggested it, and I've been hungry for it for awhile. Pizza is my favorite food. I looked it up and it was fine.....a little high in sodium but I was within my limits for the day. I count everything I eat . I can't believe the chicken pizza only has 8 grams of fat per piece! It was good, not great but good. Next time I'll have the veggie. I guess I missed the pepperoni. And I like more sauce. Every pizza should have pepperoni but it was too much salt. sigh....
We had our women's meeting at church Saturday morning and the only thing I ate was a small piece of a special casserole one of the ladies made. Then we had Praise Team practice and then my friend and I cleaned the church, which we do every Saturday. It gives me more exercise. After church today, they had a small party for one of the teens who just graduated....cake and coffee and I only had two bites of cake - just enough to taste it. It was enough for me.
I went to the grocery store today to get a few more things....seedless grapes, a cantaloupe, low fat shredded cheese, skim milk. I also bought a sweet onion, a tomato and a cucumber. I like to cut them up in a vinegar and oil based dressing. And I had waldorf salad for supper tonight. It's one of my favorites....apple, grapes, celery, (I usually have a banana in it, too, but I forgot to get some today), and Kraft Fat Free Mayo. It's the only ff mayo I like.
Anyhow, I ready for another week. I have to keep eating like this...keeping track, no more cakes and pastries, no more stuffing my face with chips and chocolate. I can have them in moderation. I won't say I can't have things. I just have to have them less often and in smaller quantities. I'm considering myself sort of like an alcoholic. I can't have these things because they will kill me. My body is one of those that can't eat all this "junk" and remain healthy. I've had them for 53 years so I can do with less of it now. I've had enough.
