Member of the Clean Plate Club

A friend asked me today if I noticed any difference since being on this health quest.  I had to pause a moment and consider what I did indeed notice.  Really, there isn't much difference other than a general sense of well-being.
Here are the big things I notice:
  • my seat belt is way more comfortable.  I don't have to stretch it all the way out before fastening it.
  • Bending over to put on my shoes or pick something off the floor is not a struggle
  • I am less winded when going up a flight of stairs or a large hill
  • my pants fit waaaaay better
  • My boobs are back to a normal size.  They were getting out of control.
  • I'm generally more motivated.  I'm even more motivated to get the dishes done!
I have lost 10 pounds which is a decent amount of weight.  Yet, I still feel bloated and heavy and have to remind myself that I have already lost 10 pounds.  I still tend to over eat, I'm just over eating on veggies and fruit.  Tonight for dinner, I was full about half way through, yet I ate everything on my plate.  I knew it, too.  So, I need to be more mindful of my fullness
