I'M ON VACATION..

and while sitting here on my butt, I've lost another 1/2 pound! I ate cake yesterday too! Went to Walmart and they had a marble butter sliced creme cake on the markdown rack. It only has 6 grams of fat in a slice. Boy, is it good?! I stay away from the bad cakes though. I don't even consider buying the ones with frosting etc. I read the label on this one before I bought it. My husband buys the evil cakes!! I don"t touch those!

SOMETHING VERY INTERESTING..

I really thought I had already posted this in here,but I went back and checked all my posts and apparently I didn't. I read awhile back in one of the magazines I get that for every pound you lose, it takes 7 pounds of pressure off your knees!!! I HAVE 630 LESS POUNDS OF PRESSURE ON MY KNEES!!! I can tell it too! My knees and feet feel great compared to last year.

MY CELEBRATION!

I hit 90 pounds lost today and the way I chose to celebrate was to go get my flu shot and let my doctor feast his eyes on less me!Bwahahahahaha! He was rightfully impressed. Betcha money that he didn't think I could do it.Fooled him! I met a very nice lady who asked for my blog addy,but I forgot to ask who she was. So if you're the nice lady at the doctors office, please let me know if you come here.

Is there anything anyone wants to know? I'm sorting recipes. Hope to start adding more....maybe this week. I'm on vacation..... This means that I'm in a very big goof-off mode!
You can do this,people! Let me know when you start losing.

WOKE UP WITH MY TEETH CHATTERING...

Last night, I had my MIRACLE RICE for dinner with steamed cabbage and hominy(yes, I like hominy). Very,very low-fat meal.I think it must have been no more than half a gram of fat. I woke up at midnight with my teeth chattering...I was absolutely freezing! Ha! I haven't been cold at night in October in about 20 years. Anyway, due to reading that if you're chilly at night, your metabolism has to work to warm your body. I covered my feet better but not all of me so I'd stay on the chilly side. Yahoooooo! Got up this morning and had lost another half pound since yesterday morning! Boy, doesn't 89 pounds sound good? It sure does to me!

I am HALFWAY to my goal! It is 4 days short of 9 months since I started and I AM HALFWAY!!!!!!!! If I can do this...you can do this! WE can do this! My husband and I went to the local fair the other night. I had no trouble with my feet! Last year, my feet would have been screaming from just walking from where we had to park.

I'm adding a line here to say that it is now 10 months and 8 days and I have reached 90 pounds lost! Please join me. WE CAN DO THIS!

READ THOSE NUTRITION LABELS!

Don't forget,ladies, read those labels on everything you buy to eat! Glance at those calories if you must, but really pay attention to the fat grams per serving! Keep them as low as possible! Buy fat-free and low fat! Eat lots of salad..it fills you up! Use fat-free or at least low-fat or lite dressing! Switch from a dinner plate to a salad plate! You can't put as much on the smaller plate! Check out the Smart Ones frozen dinners..made by Weight Watchers....they are very good! I won't kid you...I used to do some BIG eating! These dinners are kinda small so I add a big salad and sometimes even a veggie if I'm really hungry! Read the labels though and then compare to some of the regular frozen dinners...oh brother! Here's some motivation for those who need it....go to the websites of some of the restaurants you would normally eat at...go to their nutrition page and read what you've been eating! If nothing else,check out the McDonald's one! I love Big Macs and Lord,help me, it's almost time for Mcribs to come back! I checked out those pages back in January when I started eating low-fat and haven't eaten a thing from since!

When you buy a magazine and see that recipe for a scrumptious looking cake etc., read the nutrition info at the bottom of the recipe before you make it!!! There was a recipe in one I saw awhile back that had around 2000 calories(!) and enough fat grams for 2 days in ONE SLICE!!!! I bought my husband a slice of German chocolate cake today. I had 3 bites(OMG...GOOOOD) Don't deny yourself everything..it will make you give up! Don't bake that scrumtious cake though if you don't have the willpower to stay away from it!

Vitamin B-12....

I read this morning that people who eat eggs in the morning lose more belly fat than those that eat things like bagels. It said it was because the eggs have B-12 and that makes your metabolism work harder. I have scrambled eggs every morning..ha...more good news!
