yeah, i've been eating more often & more fiber, so i've not been getting hungry as often. and i've been eating less bread. before, i was having a sandwich a day on 9-grain bread, and now the only bread i eat is a 50-cal wheat wrap/tortilla thing, and i don't eat those very often. so i think that's helped.
oh, and i got some morningstar fake chicken. good stuff. my friend abbie & my mom are both intrigued by my new diet choices, and have been asking a lot of questions. my mom wants me to help her start planning dinners and stuff.  |
Wow, really? Your mom did that? My mom/parents were pretty resistant to my desired diet changes. Course, I was being vegan. And I didn't live with them, just lectured them.
That is really great! It helps a lot when you live with people who may want to eat similarly.
I love those chix patties sooo much, it's ridiculous. I only really get them sometimes, b/c of the cost, but I totally love them. Also, just so you know - the Boca fake ground beef is pretty tasty, too. I cook it with salsa and some green onions, smidge of oil, then use it for burritos. I guess you don't eat many burritos, but if you wanted to, it kicks ass.
Did you ever find that Teryiaki stir fry with just chick and veggies that comes in a bag? Look again, that sh*t is tasty. Expensive kinda, again, though. It's like 7.99, then I buy it on sale when it's 4.99. Still.

Now that I have some muscle mass my metabolism is higher, I'm always amazed on Monday that the crap I ate over the weekend has no effect on the scale!
Congrats to everyone who is working at eating well and exercising. At first it seems so hard but then it just becomes your lifestyle.

I didn't know you lost 10 lbs! That is great. You looked really cute in your recent pics, but you looked pretty slim to me when I saw you in Vegas.
I can see how a 10 lb weight loss would look pretty dramatic on you. I'm glad you're getting nice muscles from weight training.
How're your calves?
After I lost the 10 lbs, random people just kept saying "you look great!" without saying I lost weight. Well, my boss asked if I lost weight. My best friend pinned it on the bangs when someone else commented on how great I look. I promptly said "no, it's not the bangs, it's the weight!"
It may be that thing where I'm still the same shape, but thinner (or fatter) is why people don't totally notice the weight loss. Muscles, ya know. I think they mainly notice because my head gets less fat.
Anyway, I'm so happy for everyone, and Paula - I meant to tell you - you looked great in your camping jeans.
Toned yet moderately slim.
