Slowly chipping

I’m continuing to do pretty well. Everyday I just try to eat a little less and move around a little more. These are very slight changes so I don’t feel like I’m making any crazy sacrifices or doing anything drastic that won’t work over the long haul. I feel like I’m eating what I want and there’s a little less focus on food. It helps me feel a little more normal (yes Mia, I just want to be normal).

Not having a kitchen might be helping too. I don’t eat so much because I don’t want to wash dishes. I just bought paper plates tonight so hopefully that doesn’t counter the dish washing theory. And having so much to deal with is a nice distraction to keep my mind off of food.

My back is doing much better so I’m not looking at months of immobility like last time. I’m planning on taking a beginner’s Pilates class at my gym (I know, I forgot I was a member also) to strengthen my back and everything else. It should be just enough for me to handle.

I think I've been losing about a half a pound a week or so and I feel good and less yo-yo-ee for longer periods of time, now that's progress! I weighed 195 this morning.

Here are some progress pictures of my kitchen from before to demo. More to come. My husband isn't thrilled by how he looks in these :-).
