December 17th, 2009 Diet Update
Still plugging away. No matter WHAT the book says, it’s pretty challenging. Breakfast is really difficult. Stephen used to take bologna sandwiches for breakfast almost every day. They were easy to eat. Now we’re trying to be creative….he doesn’t like lettuce so the lettuce-wraps are out.
As for me, the smell of eggs cooking in the early morning is almost too much. I don’t care much for eggs, and now I’m eating them almost every day. Today I had sometime different: a stir-fry with eggplant and other veggies and just a tiny amount of shredded chicken and 3 crumbled pieces of bacon.
Am I losing weight? I don’t know. I don’t usually go by weight. I can’t fit into my size 12 jeans yet, but I’m definitely more toned. I can feel the difference. I know that some of this is exercise, but I’m sure the diet helps. I’m simply eating less, and I don’t feel so awful after meals. (I’m not having those horrible fatigue spells any more.) It’s amazing what God has helped me accomplish.
