I'm not giving up, but today I was at 139.0. Slow and steady wins the race, right? That number 139 seems to be a stubborn one for me, but I'm hoping I'm just in a time where my body is getting ready to release some fat, a bunch of it at once! I was tempted this morning to get discouraged, since I haven't lost since day 16. But you have to take a step back and look at the overall progress. I am SO HAPPY to be in the 130's, I am still basking in the fun of THAT!
The other thing is, my clothes fit differently now. I'm able to wear some pants that I couldn't touch 3 weeks ago, that's for sure! I am resisting the temptation to measure until Saturday morning - but I think I'll show more inch loss in addition to last week's.
Yesterday was a weird day, I noticed some mood swings that haven't been present since I started doing green smoothies. I realized that I wasn't drinking much, life was just busy so I wasn't even taking the time to open the fridge and drink it down. Thus, I got pretty hungry and started craving things and getting irritable with the children. I am still working on letting go of the whole mentality of eat less = weigh less. I know that eating less, for me, seems to make my body think I'm starving so it hangs on to every last pound of fat it can. So I'm working today on drinking lots of water and green smoothies to my heart's content, not worrying about the scale.
your green smoothies sound good :) Thanks for sharing your favorite recipes.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how you do for your evening diners. Do you take your smoothie to the table and sit with everyone? I think my husband would be upset if I had only some green juice for dinner...
