Why can't losing weight be easy?

Ticker Thursday

169.4!! I'm okay with that.

My Endless Quest

So Getting back on the wagon then off again has been my story the last few months. Recently I have read 2 books talking about the health benefits of a vegan diet. Last week I decided to eliminate all meat except seafood and cheese from my diet. This week I have also decided to eliminate straight milk (not milk in food yet) from my diet. I have stuck to it and for the most part feel pretty good. By doing so I have made healthier choices for most of my meals as well. Yesterday I binged on candy though and woke up feeling awful today. A testament that sugar really isn't good for body I guess.

By way, Get Movin' is doing AMAZING! I am so impressed.

Weight Loss?????

Weight loss is one of the most mind boggling things, especially for women. I will never figure out the down one day and up the next. It seems like the days you may have cheated are the days you will go down and the days you have been extra good are the days you go up.

I have been plugging along with the exercise and the diet and have been doing okay still. The closer I am getting to my goal weight the slower it is to lose the weight. I must admit that it is probably because I am not being as strict with the diet. My body is adapting to this weight change and last time I went to phase 3 I never did gain the three pounds before I started back into phase 1. Sometimes I am amazed that I am still losing because I am cheating a little. I guess the whole key is moderation in all things. I am not eating 5 or 6 cookies any more I am just eating 1. I am getting anxious to get to my goal weight but I know it will be, if I am lucky by the end of the summer. I will just keep trudging along.
