5 Month Weigh In

It has been a few weeks since I last posted but I wanted to get in and update with the great news. I am down another 3 pounds this week. That brings my total to 45 pounds lost. With a month to go until my first goal date I am only 5 pounds away from hitting it! I have settled in to a nice variety of foods including pizza, spaghetti squash with meat sauce and a new recipe I absolutely love which is italian chicken over zucchini. It used to be over noodles but I actually think I like the zucchini better. I have not begun exercising yet because work is getting crazy. I won't be able to do much in that category until open enrollment is over, but the weight is still coming off because my body is loving the way I am eating. I have had many complements including one yesterday at church when a sister behind me said I looked like I was getting taller and thinner. Those comments are nice and only reinforce what I am doing. This week I have something like 35 appointments running from morning until night so I won't be up and about much. but if I keep eating healthy I know I can still lose. Especially with a 3 pound week like this one. I would love to get past my 50 pounds down goal before Thanksgiving because I am planning an off-day for Thanksgiving. I'll be right back on the next day so I know it will have minimal impact. I love that about this lifestyle.
