Happy Friday everyone!
I’m reporting a 0.8 pound loss this week
Amy: Thanks for sharing about your own situation and the consultation with Jeff Novick. It sounds like a great experience. He is so right to say remember how far you have come. Keep going xxx
Congrats to your Mom on her weight loss
I’ve been having veggies for breakfast for nearly three weeks, and usually steam them in the microwave for a couple of minutes. This morning I thought I would try eating them raw, and then microwave whatever I couldn’t manage. Everything apart from the kale was fine. Still have a way to go with converting the taste buds to that, but I’ll keep trying! Having veggies first thing, certainly gets me heading in the right direction for the day.
Thanks Amy for the link to the article on taste bud rehab, it makes so much sense! This quote: "Taste buds are adaptable little fellas. When they can't be with foods they love, they learn to love the foods they're with” reminded me of the song
‘Love The One You’re With’ by Stephen Stills. I’m going to hum it while trying to eat the raw kale
I’ve been tracking food via Myfitnesspal for the past few weeks and that has helped me keep more compliant, although still not 100%! I won’t do it long term, but do think it has helped me reach my second weight loss goal. The scales went into trampoline mode; yesterday I touched down on my goal weight, only to bounce straight back up by a pound this morning after some wholemeal toast and eating out last night. But, now I know I can get there....
Svenja – congrats on that result! And thanks for sharing the article on sleep.
Sirdel/Susan – ‘keep my eyes on the big picture’ ‘the big picture is where it’s at’ – love your words
Love and positive thoughts to everyone xx
