I
don't work out NEARLY enough. It is a major downfall I have. I always
have good intentions, but the follow through doesn't always happen. I
know if I start working out more, the scale will move more, and right
now.... I REALLY want that. I miss having those 3-5 pound losses (or
more) every week like I did in the beginning. Now, I'm lucky if I get a
1 pound loss lately. I had one good 4 pound loss a couple weeks ago,
but other than that.... it's been very slow going. I finally forced
myself to go for a walk/run yesterday. I found this app a while back
called Map My Walk that uses GPS to track your mileage and time.
Looking through my (very short) work out history on the app, I realized
that even though these workouts are spaced way far out, each time I go
for a walk/run I get a little faster. It's not much... but seeing that
made me SO HAPPY!! And Motivated to do more! And even better..... the
scale was DOWN 1.6 pounds this morning!

Morning Naked Weigh In - Week 33
Weigh In Resutls - + .4 pounds
Total Loss so far: 68.6 pounds
This was not a good week for me,
BUT I was on my period for weigh in
and my feet and ankles have been swelling
a lot all week. Hoping that is why such poor results.

Knowing When To Stop
I don't eat anywhere near the amount I used to eat, but I still catch myself saying "one more bite" especially if it's really yummy, usually regretting that decision immediately. Sometimes I'll eat until I'm full, and stop like a good girl, but as I sit at the table and everyone else is still eating I continue to "pick" at my food until everyone else is done, eating more than I originally intended.
This is such a dangerous habit that needs to be broken. By pushing the limit I know I can, and eventually will, stretch out my stomach, and I do NOT want that to happen. I must learn to slow waaay down and really pay attention and STOP at that "satisfied" moment EVERY time. I don't have to eat until I'm "full". I did NOT get this surgery and go through all that I've been through to wind up remaining over weight.
Change doesn't occur over night. I'm miles away from the person I used to be but a lifetime of bad habits doesn't just go away. But I'm aware of them. And I'm actively working on changing them. When I think about how much my attitude towards food has changed JUST in the past 7 months, I'm amazed. I'm not perfect and never will be. I am so much better than I was, and I will become much better than I am now.

"Cookie Dough" Greek Yogurt
I Found this Recipe on Pinterest...
Add the following ingredients to a small
container of Greek Yogurt:
1tbsp of creamy peanut butter (or PB2)
1tsp of Honey
1/4 tsp of Vanilla Extract
1tbsp of Miniature Chocolate Chips
Dash of Sea Salt
I forgot to grab Honey from the grocery store
so made mine without the honey.
Even so, it was pretty good. I'm NOT a fan
of Greek Yogurt but this was pretty good.
While this doesn't taste exactly like Cookie Dough,
it is a nice healthy alternative when you have a
sweet tooth and a great way to get in Protein for the day.
