Friday check in!

I went out last night with a group of friends from work to do Mexican food and karaoke. I had 2 huge margaritas that I'm sure were not the best of choices but I had "saved" a ton of calories yesterday knowing that I was going to have a drink or two.

Checked the scales this morning and I am squarely at 284 which is .4 lower than my lowest weight before I had my 5-pound backfire over the last month! WOOT!

Babysteps!

Clothes are definitely getting looser and feeling a lot more energetic.

Some days I have to remind myself of how far I've come because the weight loss is really slow compared to other people I know.

In the last year, I have quit smoking, gone completely off of soda of any type, significantly reduced the amount of processed food I eat, and also added a significant amount of exercise to my normal routine.

I am no longer on blood pressure medication, my knees no longer hurt, my blood pressure is a normal number, and I don't wake up aching every morning.

That's a Virginia Slim "You've come a long way baby" moment if I've ever seen it!

Great news about the BP medication and no longer aching!!
That's great....I am happy for you...

It will get better.....

I went to the clinic, BP was normal and the scale at the
clinic actually is in sync with my scales!
The new suggestion is to split up my proteins so that
I have four meals a day now but with half the protein
at each meal than I am accustomed to.....
I just finished measuring everything out in 8 oz
portions, vacuum sealed and stuck in the freezer!

Oh well....the only thing that stays the same is change....
or so I've heard.....
