I am feeling better this morning. My nose is just on a slow drip instead of running like a faucet. My eyes are less poofy. I am down a pound. I feel lighter. I do not feel anxious. The panicky, "When will I eat? What can I eat?" thoughts have subsided.
I ate at Hometown Buffet yesterday for a late lunch with my son, his girlfriend and her mom. It was wonderful! I had thought about how I would explain my eating habits. But no need!
I just filled my plate with a base of veggies (collard greens with bacon and green beans). That was a substitute for rice or potatoes. Then I had a slice of turkey, a slice of prime rib, bratwurst and saurkraut.
That was plate #1!
Plate #2 was a salad plate with orange slices.
I did cheat a bit, and have a small bowl of frozen yogurt topped with nuts.
Water to drink.
I was pleasantly satisfied. I felt empowered by walking by all my off limit foods. And I did not feel heavy and sleepy afterwards!
After dinner I went to the gym. No workout. I just stretched and soaked in the hot tub. My arms and right shoulder were quite sore.
Then I headed to Winco and picked up some healthy food for the week. "Fage" Greek Yogurt, tuna, chicken sausage with spinach and feta (0 grams of sugar!), grapefruit, cucumbers, garlic and lemon. Yes, I am still in a Tzatziki mood!
In fact, for breakfast this morning, I had a spinach salad, topped with cucumber, feta cheese, turkey slices and Tzatziki dressing! I could eat that stuff by the bucket!
Here is today's hoop video.
I had a thought this morning. I am finally feeling like I can achieve my health goals! I am losing weight consistently, eating healthy - what works for my body, and exercising. Then I had a moment of panic. "What will I do when I achieve my goals?" I actually stopped walking. (I was walking back from the track).
Then I laughed at myself. If I achieve my health goals, there is plenty of life to live, talk about, blog about.
I feel the need to spend more time in the presence of God. Not just asking for help, but just being with God. I have so many books yet to read.
Not to mention a granddaughter on the way and much music to play on my piano!
You won't be getting rid of me anytime soon. I'm glad, because this blog has become my best friend!
On that note, I wish you a very happy Monday!
Talk to you tomorrow!
Love,
Zita
