I had a normal eating day yesterday. I know! I can hardly beleive it myself. I had regular portions & I even wasn't that excited about the pumpkin pie. This is weird for me. Thanksgiving is a day to eat! And pumpkin pie is/was seriously a big highlight during the holidays for me. I longed for & feared it. I couldn't be trusted to not polish off a pumpkin pie left over from the celebrations. I did have some, but the excitement wasn't there. Since I started my supplements & changed up my diet I am amazed by my lack of interest in the old foods I so love(d). I'm leary to put passed tense, because as sad as it sounds Ben & Jerry were dear to me for a long time. I've been ice cream free for 6 weeks & I didn't have even 1 peice of candy from my kids trick or treat stash this year. The best part is that I don't feel like I'm deprived or struggling. I feel like I'm waking up! I am a lot more engaged in my life with out the sugar & garbage weighing me down. I have lost 14lbs, but I haven't been weighing myself often. It's really not about the numbers. It's going to take as long as it takes. Now, I'm focusing on getting moving! My son has expressed an interest in going to the gym more to get ready for track. So I have another reason to go! I want to support healthy habits.
I focused this Thanksgiving on being thankful. Go figure? I have SO much to be grateful for. I have amazing family & friends. I love my work & I have so much to look forward to!
