Live Well Wednesday




I was reading the Live Well post this morning and Darlene's story reminded me a lot of myself and my daily routine. I will be eating my breakfast dreaming about what I am going to eat for lunch. I can't finish one meal before I am planning my next. I guess you could say I have an issue with food. I love it!!! I love eating and I love cooking. I can eat breakfast at 8 am and by 9:30 my stomach is growling!! My mouth starts watering as I look at the clock and notice that I have a long way to go before I get my lunch hour. Food consumes me. So needless to say I now realize that I need to work on getting this "issue" under control.

I am happy to say that over the Thanksgiving holiday I did not gain a pound. I did not lose, however. I am still holding strong at my 5lbs. I can say that I am proud of my 5lbs. Thats like 1 bag of sugar that I was carrying around and now I'm not. I am ready to shed some more bags of sugar though!!! So my plan of action this week is to continue to drink my water, eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables, get my 3 servings of dairy, and eat more lean protein. I finally finished my book "Going All The Way" so now I am on the search for something new to feed my spiritual soul. Any suggestions are welcome.

I've been reading through your blog, hearing about the heartbreak and thankfulness you're practising despite it all. You're a beautiful, strong woman. I also realized, before noting your sidebar, that you are a sister to one of my favourite blogosphere and e-friends, Susanne!! Very nice to meet you!

Holidays are a tough time for weight loss, but not gaining anything is awesome progress!! Hopping right back in the saddle is the best way to lose all those other bags of sugar we're carrying around!!
