True 2 Health

Hey Lori - I may send you testimonials from time to time just to remind myself of what I have learned these past 6 months but here is a good one for you. Remember I said on Thursday I hit 162 on the scales? well Friday I weighed just for the heck of it (I was afraid I had gone up) AND I WAS AT 160!!!!! I'm not goin to weigh again until next weekend but still it made me so happy! I've started to really notice the slow progression lately and when I see it that motivates me to continue to eat clean even though I do "cheat" from time to time (like the smores I had when the power was out last Monday) but still, the more I eat clean the worse it affects me when I eat "not clean". this morning I woke up and  I felt so light, so different than I have in a long time. when I put on my yoga pants and looked in the mirror I could actually SEE a difference. When I sat down in the kitchen I didn't have that little Dunlap roll that sits just above the pelvic bone!!!
However my daughter has an event tonight and I helped her bake some sweets for it this afternoon. I ate 3-4 small cookies, like the size of a quarter, and one crescent roll. I knew better but at the time I didn't have the will power to not eat it. So here I am about 2 hours later and my stomach is very bloated, I'm nauseous and I just feel so heavy. Once again, a lesson learned that it may taste good going down but its not worth it later!
these little reminders are helping me to stay the course and soon Ill have my daughter baking healthy snack to take to her events!
