I haven't been logging my food for a while. I need to get back on track. I've lost about a lb a day for the last 2 days so I know the water weight from Sunday's gain is coming off nicely. Tomorrow is the weigh in at the dr. office.
This is the end of the first week on the herbal appetite suppressants. I am glad I switched over because I was really getting hooked on the prescription suppressant. I seriously miss the alert wakeful feeling I got from them. Plus, for whatever reason, it seems like whenever I drink coffee now, I have major urgent diarrhea issues. I know, TMI! So I can't even get my coffee buzz on. I suppose I could just get more sleep... nah! ...maybe some strong black tea.
The nice part about the herbal supplement is that my doctor has upped my RDI by 200 calories, 100 more in protein and 100 more in veggies. Now I need to figure out how to make that happen on a daily basis. You have to eat a lot of veggies to equal 100 calories and they have so many carbs that I am always struggling to stay in ketosis.
Today is day two of rolling out the new wardrobe and I am feeling very sassy. I even bought a knee length dress but not sure if I will get up the courage to actually wear it. My legs are still kind of icky looking. Hopefully, getting some weight training into my schedule will improve that.
It's a great day so far and today I am thankful:
that the presentation I had to give yesterday is over and even though it didn't go as well as I hoped, I think it was not a complete fail.
for the sunset yesterday, which was amazing. It reminded me of how I need to stop once and a while and appreciate the "free" things in life. God is the best artist ever and his canvas is renewed daily.
for the time I had to visit with my mom last night. We get so busy, it's hard to find time just to visit with ine another. We had a great heart to heart about our family history and how it affects our present reality.

I haven't worn this size since I first married my husband 10 years ago, hehe. I thought I was really overweight then. I was, but I guess having gained and lost almost 80 lbs since then has changed my perspective on body image a bit.

Great work on the "Sassy" size dress! Wear it with pride! You earned it, Lady!

You are doing fantastic - like HCB says wear the new clothes with pride. I hope you are getting rid of the big clothes - don't keep any excuse to put the weight back on....you are not returning this time :)

I took an appetite suppressant many, many years ago and I quit taking it voluntarily. I could feel my personality sort of change. An illogical rage just came over me. I felt increasingly irritable. Good luck with your herbal prescription. Take care!

Yay for sassy! Way to go rolling that out. I feel pretty great about my body now (not next to skinny people, but compared to my old, fatter self) so I am just going with the confidence that people will generally compare me to the old me, rather than to Cindy Crawford. And confidence is very beautiful!!
