My weight loss progress is now, in fact, a journey. My food diary proved to be surprising, invorating, and even a little fun. I found a website, caloriecount.com, that allows me to track my food intake, my exercise, and my weight loss progress. This posting started two days ago. Thursday's weight 215.5, was a 4.5 pound loss from my start. This morning, I am down to 214!
I cannot believe I made this accomplishment eating scandalous food. But, I substantially increased my water intake and my exercise. I walked 10 miles last week and by week's end, even jogged a bit. My inspiration and my guide got my food log yesterday. It will be interesting to hear his reaction. And believe me, there will be a reaction.
This morning, I tried a new recipe called Oatmeal with an Egg Boost. It sounded rather horrible in a way, but I figured the vanilla yogurt topping couldn't be all bad. The dish was actually very tasty; a creamy concoction loaded with fiber, protein and a little sweet. I have to remember to take snacks! I almost blew my day by having a combo from Long John Silvers. A 2 mile walk this evening paired with a low sodium, high-protein dinner should undo some of the damage.
I can already see some changes. My skin looks brighter, I feel stronger, my lungs feel more elastic and breathing is less labored. On the other hand, my body feels more sore today than last week. Obvious changes are yet to come; I look forward to their debut.
As I go to the grocery store later this evening, I will look for foods that are good for me and good to me. I am beginning to love this journey.
