JUST A QUICKIE...

Just a quickie check-in for now...things are busy, which makes me realize that the way I'm doing this is the right way for me. Before, when things got busy, I'd not find the time to journal & "do things right" & would just kind of shut down. It all was such a crutch... my life revolved around my weight-loss. Now I don't think twice about just grabbing something healthy. It might not be completely rounded out, nutrition-wise, but I don't care. I'm getting it all in @ some point during the day... or even week.

Things are going well... I've been away from sugar, for the most part, this past month & I feel really good. I decided to eat a homemade donut the other night when we were making them for a project for my PreTeen's class... it was rolled in cinnamon-sugar. It was good. I didn't lose it because I ate it, there was no guilt... I just know that I'm not going to do that very often, so no big deal. BUT... I felt lousy the next day. Sugar just kicks my butt.... especially when I've been away from it. It makes me anxious & moody... very weird. Staying away from now on, for the most part.

Anyway... the scale said 268.8 yesterday.... that's another 1.6 lbs or something like that.... YAY ME! That's 13.6 lbs in 4 weeks! Awesome. Who says you can't lose weight when you're over 40? :o)

Till next time....
