So how good do we all feel!
I woke up this morning feeling GREAT!!! I was just curious is anybody else feels this way?
I haven't lost a lot on the scale since I have been lifting weights, but I can tell in the clothes that I'm wearing today that I am losing inches!
I have tried WW numerous times and lost a few lbs on it but I was always hungry. I would eat the bare minimum required throughout the week and splurge on the weekend which would cause me to either gain or stay the same. If my stomach was not growling I would not lose weight. I was constantly crabby due to low blood sugar. I avoided eating out EVER since I could not control myself from not ordering something I shouldn't have.
Now I love eating out, especially salad bars. Since I can load up on a great filling salad or have prime rib. I love that fact that restaurants are serving LC dishes, so that I don't have to be tempted with potatoes or rice on my plate.
I feel that I require less sleep than normal and I have extra energy. I hardly ever get headaches unless they are stress related and I rarely take my allergy medication anymore.
I used to wake up every Monday morning feeling bloated from all the bad eating that I had done. Now I wake up feeling great because I ate great, fulfilling foods and didn't gain any weight.
So, even if I don't lose every week, the fact that I didn't gain and I feel good is just as important to me.
Thanks for letting me share, and thanks to all of you here with all your wonderful ideas and recipes.
