I had a big "country" breakfast today. It was a country breakfast to ME. I had a mushroom and cheese omelet with eggbeaters, three pieces of turkey bacon and two pieces of toast with sugar free jelly. It was soooo good. I never indulge myself like that at breakfast. I don't know why. It was 477 calories, which isn't bad. I never actually cook anything for breakfast usually - I eat yogurt with berries, or I eat an Atkins bar and an apple. Sometimes when I am being particularly lax, I will eat a sugar free brownie for breakfast. It felt really good to get up and do it, and I had it ready by 6:45am. I then fell back asleep for 2 hours, and then I got up and got to the gym and took 2 classes back to back - 30 minutes of core, 45 minutes of cardio/weight training. Then I got back home and took care of some business and walked the dog. It's 3pm and I have accomplished all of this. I was feeling my stomach today and it feels smaller. I don't know why, I probably haven't lost any weight, but it feels flatter. I actually have EXCELLENT ab muscles at this point. I have been doing abs for 6 months. Trouble is, my spare tire sits on top of those muscles and it is so daunting. I really have belly fat, and even though my muscles are in shape from crunches and classes and whatnot, I still am soft around the middle. Today is the 5th day ( God willing) that I have stayed within my RDI. I am really hoping I have crossed a barrier and I can continue to do this and continue on with my weight loss. Thankfully I am so active that I haven't gained any weight, but I really, really want to lose again. I want to get to a size 8 earlyish in the new 2013 year. I'd love to be a size 8 by March 2013. That would be incredible. So I've got my work cut out for me. I actually keep trying on my 2 bikinis all the time, because I want so badly to wear a bikini next summer. I don't care if I am still a bit fleshy and juicy, but if I were one size smaller, an 8, with a toned stomach, I would be perfectly comfortable in a bikini.
