Three weeks after starting on Lyn-Genet Recitas' "The Plan," I am seven pounds lighter. I haven't had a slice of bread or any dairy in that time, and ate red meat only once. It's been primarily veggies, veggies and seafood.
BUT, I've enjoyed dark chocolate, vino, goat cheese and feta (love my cheeses!). And I haven't had to exercise like a maniac to see progress.
All in all, I'd say that 'The Plan' is a way of eating that I can stick to. Sure, I miss enjoying the savory chili with cheese my family had for dinner last night, but I don't miss the depressing flab that gathered around my middle. I'd love to indulge in a big ol' bowl of mashed potatoes, but I also love being able to easily button my jeans and once again wear clothes that had been gathering dust in my closet.
So, with Thanksgiving upon us, I am thankful for learning how to eat to manage my weight at this point in life. I am so thankful for my wonderful Mr., my beautiful boys and my stepkids. My friends, of course, and my supportive, loving family. I am endlessly grateful that those nearest and dearest to me are healthy and financially secure.
And to those of you who read my blog, thank you. It's so nice knowing that you're out there.
Taking off for a few days, so until next time ... choose happy.
