It's time for me to check in again! Stevie and I are about a month into your new eating pattern and all is well...even better than well. Stevie has lost a little over 30lbs and is looking and feeling great! He is wearing clothes he has not been able to get into for at least 2 years!! I am very proud of him, he has really stuck to the program and is trying very hard. I have has success, but not to the level of Stevie.....16lbs down!! I am still proud of my accomplishment! I can not really see a difference in my clothes yet.....except I can breath in them....lol.
The hardest thing for me to overcome has been the carb cravings. There are times I would kill for a piece of french bread...lol!!! But it is getting better the longer I stick with it. I am trying to adjust some of our old favorite recipes, cutting out the fat and upping the fiber! Stevie has gone along with everything...except cauliflower! He rebelled(I think he fed the ONE piece I gave him to the dog)
The other thing I am trying to do is eat only when I am hungry....not before...not because it is meal time.....not because I am having cravings. It is hard at times, but is getting easier every week. I also think the fact that I am so busy with sewing work right now really helps. I get busy and forget to obsess about food....lol!!! I have also managed to get off the cokes(and you know I LOVE my coke) I had gotten down to just two or three a week....and now have not had one in about a week. Unsweetened iced tea is my new best friend :)
And for the last portion of our changes....exercise! This is still a tough one for me!! But I did start walking this weekend, and it did kick start my weight loss again. I still have to drag myself out the door....but I have been trying. This is a tough one for me!
So that is our little update on the diet world of Stevie and Dale...so far so good....lots more to go!
