Well, so far the weight continues to drop. This morning, Wednesday, I was 217. Yesterday was supposed to be a protein day and I did pretty well until night when I had a ice cream drumstick. Made me hungry for more but I brushed my teeth and went to bed. Crazy how a little bit of sweet stuff makes you crave more food.
Today at work, the layout for lunch was mexican food. I wasn't even tempted. I am looking forward to some burritos this weekend but my "cravings" have really diminished. I've also been able to just get a taste of things by taking a bite or a small serving and being okay with that. I'd say that's the biggest reason why the weight still is coming off.
Today was 1/2 cup of egg beaters with a slice of toast, some hot chocolate for snack, a nice salad with tuna and dressing for lunch, bbq salmon and broccoli for dinner with a glass of wine. That's a very healthy menu and I'll have an orange a little later. BTW, my blood pressure this morning was 124/77. It's going down daily as well. I'm still taking my BP medication but if it gets much lower, I may start cutting back on that and monitor it closely to see how it goes. I still have 15 lbs to lose and with the healthy food I'm eating, I don't think I'll need the pills that much longer.
