The number is getting smaller!

I am so excited!  This week I loss three pounds.   I weight every day, but I am only concentrating on the weekly loss.  Your weight varies from day to day.


This weekend,  I didn't do very good.  We went out to eat Friday and had pizza.  Then Sunday we had a chicken stripe dinner.  When I am eating these foods,  I am not eating as much as I use to.  Portions are a key also.  I weigh and measure everything I eat.


I really do try to not eat sugar and processed bread.  Natures Own makes a sugar free bread.  It is good, but it takes a little to get use to.  We also eat natural jelly, made by Smuckers.  It also doesn't have sugar.  We eat all natural peanut butter.  A good little snack it to get a white or brown rice , jelly and peanut butter smeared on the rice cake.  It helps if you are having a sweet craving.


I saw this on The Biggest Loser,  They were talking about chewing come will help with cravings also.  I was curious so I started trying it.  It really does help!  I thought that was a great tip!


Oh yea, I am also 37 pounds away from my goal of 50 pounds.  I love seeing that number getting smaller and smaller.


I am also planning on taking a picture ever month or so that I can see the difference.  I just haven't don't it yet.  I am always the one taking pictures.  I rarely have one taken of me.
