So, I made it through my first month. I ate dessert only once — for my son, Landon’s 30th birthday. I made cheesecake with strawberries. Had a small piece. I remember it as being very good.
I have lost another 2 lbs. Yay! Finally. When I stepped on the scale on Friday morning it said 166. So, I felt good about that — a total loss of 4 lbs for the month. Yes, I was imagining double digits, but what the hey, I’ll take it.
Generally, I’m finding I’m doing okay with not wanting any dessert. There has been the occasional craving for something sweet like chocolate, or cookies, but I’ve managed to get over it by grabbing a handful of nuts or a piece of fruit. I find making myself a cup of green tea helps, too.
Speaking of tea. . .
I was at David’s Teas in West Edmonton Mall on Sunday and bought some amazing ginger tea. It’s called Organic Pu’erh Ginger and is purported to aid digestion, cleanse the blood, help with weight loss, counteract nausea, colds and sore throats. It has a hint of orange flavour and I can honestly say it is a wonderful tasting tea.
I am committed to getting to Curves 3 times a week — therefore, because I have such a busy week ahead of me I’ll be going for two workouts before work this week.
The walking in the evening did not pan out last week, I only managed to be home one evening out of five and when I was home I was so thrilled to be there and able to cook a meal I didn’t give going for a walk even a fleeting thought. I know it won’t happen again this week because I’m busy for the next three evenings and then I’m off to a conference for four days. Sigh. The only upside is that hopefully it will be much milder by the time I do find time to get a walk in.
