detox update

Well, this will be day 3 - and I actually "feel" like doing this today (sugar detox). The last couple of days, I have only reached for sugary items about once during each day, and not really much. I have had a few things like corn chips, popcorn to get over the muchies...So, my goal today is to reach for a protein bar (adkins) or some fresh veggies when I get the muchies....In the coming days, I am going to really focus on eating healthy foods, so I can #1 - feel better, and #2 - work on getting to goal, with first baby step to get below 200 again - water water water! Got that quart container on my desk and will drink throughout the morning, then refill around lunch time, plus I drink sf tea and 1-2 cups of coffee. I read on one of the other boards, it is best to not have coffee, but if going to drink, chase it with a glass of water, so I do. I do fix decaf a lot also (just not today - ha). Exercise !!! Goal is gym at the least every other day, and hopefully daily for a while to jump-start weight loss. So, gym this evening! Going to fix a egg/cheese/onion omlet in a minute, fish and veggies for lunch, and that is as far as I have gotten today. Will have a plan for supper later. Well, thanks for all the encouragement, and I hope this helps anybody else who is struggling, to just jump right in and make these lifestyle changes.....I guarantee you, it is so much easier during the first year, than at year 4, but it can be done....

I have I told you how proud I am of you lately! And I haven't even had to come slap you around a bit! I think since I got the new puppy I'll be taking a few more walks. We'll see. Brandon tried to take him for a walk today, but he wanted to ride in the stroller with Olivia! LMAO - he's a trip. Can't wait for everyone to be well over there so I can bring him over and show you! I think I'll get him groomed tomorrow. He's such a love bug! Marsha even said I could bring him to Chorus Monday! He went shopping with us today to dollar general. Got him some tiny tennis balls. He LOVES them. He's getting really playful and ADORES Olivia....probably because she always has food on her face! LMAO Anyway -- keep up the good work! Love ya... my bestest friend! K
