Holy Cannoli!!! Yes, that is what my scale said when at my appointment 2 weeks ago. Even figuring that this was taken after breakfast, it is still not a number I've seen since I was about 8 months pregnant. It was quite alarming to say the least.
So I'm almost a full 2 weeks into this and have made some changes. Hit Whole Foods and, after one breakdown, started trying some gluten-free items:
pasta (not good - just some things that need wheat),
bread (not bad, but $8 a loaf),
corn flakes (good choice),
muffins (really liked).
I'm trying to make these changes at a rate that I can easily sustain them. So I've still had a cracker here and an there, but we have other snacks in the house and at work. Last night I wanted to hit the bulkies that were in the freezer so much, but I fought it. You might think this a small victory...but have you ever had Water Street bulkies before - then you'll understand my yearning.
Next item to tackle - a meal plan. Brian has been after me for several years about this, but I've stubbornly fought him time & time again. I've been of the mentality that "just have a fully stocked fridge & pantry & the rest is history." However, it doesn't work that way if you want to eat healthy. Old habits die hard, but I'm trying to take this one down.
