Woohoo! I think I might be able to call this a whoosh. Tottering on the edge of venturing into the 220's. I'm getting there.
Yesterday was a planned high-calorie day. Instead of eating just half of the Pecan Pancakes, I decided the night before to eat all three of them, and I was able to work it into my caloric intake, still keeping it under 2,000 calories. Because of our other plans yesterday, I ended up getting the pancakes at 10:30am for "lunch." I ate 1-1/2 of them then, and had the other half at 12:30pm. Ate my butter beans for dinner, as usual.
My daughter made crème brulee for a friend yesterday and asked me if I would try it because she was afraid she had messed it up somehow. Since I had already had my calorie allotment of calories, I only ate one bite to be able to tell her it was just fine, and I put the rest in the freezer to eat today. I will be able to fit it in today, and still stay right around 1,1400 calories. I was tempted to eat the whole thing yesterday and just put it on today's food journal. But, that wouldn't have been honest.
I thank the Lord that my weight is moving down again. I must admit that it is EASIER to thank Him when I am losing than when I am staying the same, or even gaining. I try to "in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God concerning you." Mostly, I am thankful that He has given me the motivation and determination to stay on this diet (yes, still not a lifestyle) since June 23rd (almost four months!). WOW! That's almost a third of a YEAR! I would really, really, like to be able to report next June that I've stayed the course for a whole year!
