Doing it Healthy

Another Wednesday Weigh Day and another pound GONE!  I'm down 17 whole pounds which makes me now 141.  YES!

I'm proud that I have done this, but more than that, I am proud I have done this healthy.  No fad diets, no weird nutrition shakes, no restrictions (except my own), no starvation, no upchucking.  Just a simple "diet" of fruits and veggies, reasonable portions, healthy food, and keeping active.  Who knew?!

I really hope this has been my lifestyle change that I so wanted.  I hope it sticks for good.  Winter is approaching, and this scares me a little since the fresh fruits will be limited in my area.  I might have to get creative with food choices and start to experiment with fun new-to-me foods like Ginger and Avocado! 

Today was another day I ate out in a restaurant.  However, this time didn't produce massive amounts of anxiety and it was another day I made excellent food choices by splitting the meal and opting for a very nutritious, locally grown, chicken avocado wrap.  So delicious!  Having good food buddies, and supportive buddies in general, has been the cornerstone of my success.
