Weigh in day today. Lost 5.1 pounds this week. I am now under 350 pounds and that is a big milestone. Visited with Dr. Scott today. He is happy with the way things are going. My energy is up and I can even move better. I picked up a 25 pound bag of sugar the other day and Vick said "just think, you have lost equivalent of two of those". It seemed very heavy and I am not sure how I carried that much weight around.
Usual routine at the Dr.s office today. I have two weeks after this of twice a week visits, then it drops to once a week. I also have one day left on the first week of Clearvite. I start a week of vegetarian meals on Wednesday. That should prove to be exciting and interesting because I like my meat. This week has been a challenge because I haven't been able to have beef. Beef and pork will be reintroduced after the three week Clearvite program. I will add a couple of recipes tomorrow because it is very late.
I almost never eat beef. Chicken and fish are the foods of the gods. I LOVE VEGGIES!!!! There are so many amazing things you can do with them that does not include sauces, creams and butter! This is a great journey for you big brother. You get to remember what a pure vegetable tastes like! You get to remember what a wonderful flavor mother nature gives them. Savor the flavors.
ReplyDeleteEat mindfully. I learned a trick last year that helped me. Take one bite at a time, set your fork down after every bite and close your eyes. Concentrate on what is in your mouth. Feel the texture, the shape, the sensations and every unique feature of the food as you slowly chew it. Appreciate the flavor that bursts with the bites. I LOVE vegetables. Bright, colorful veggies are the best! I am going to think of you every time I eat a veggie or salad this week - and that is almost every meal, every day! xo love you.
