The big weigh in was yesterday and I have to say I was beyond happy. In four weeks of eating healthy I have lost 15 pounds. It has been an awesome adventure, that I plan on continuing on for a long time. My hope is that I will continue to lose weight until I reach my body's defined goal. By this I mean the weight that my body defines as a good balance and stops at. This week I get back into a more defined exercise routine. I know that exercising and adding muscle is important.
I never dreamed that four weeks of eating healthy would be so easy and manageable. Sure I have days where I struggle and think to myself, perhaps I will just slip up and eat something bad, but the difference on this plan is that I make an informed decision not to. I feel like the fourth week was the turning point for me as I started seeing visible results as did other people.
I am anxious to see what my body will look and feel like in May. It is crazy to think that I could potentially be in the best shape of my life. We shall see. I will visit my doctor at the end of March/beginning of April. This will be the true test to see if my A1C levels are balanced and down from the 7 that they had been. If this takes place I will be extremely elated. I am not currently taking the medicine prescribed for my diabetes, because I wanted to give my body the true chance to salvage itself without the help of pills. If I do not see a change in this number, then I will know what I need to do.
This weekend was an exciting weekend for food...Spaghetti Squash with homemade marinara sauce and salad on friday night, homemade chili for lunch on Saturday, Sea Scallops, peas, green beans, and salad for dinner, and for dinner on Sunday, stuffed green pepper (with ground turkey, brown rice, tomatoe, garlic), salad, and green beans. All of these were great healthy ways to satisfy my pallet.
