6 tenths of a pound yesterday. I’ll take that! Not my best day by far but certainly not the worst. I feel like I’m trying to tailor this into a plan I can work with forever already. I guess that’s because I am. That said, I have to remain focused on being rid of the weight before I can really start to embrace the lifestyle as a whole. There are some things you can’t do while trying to drop the L B’s.
Processed carbs,.. we all love’m, we all eat’m but what are they really? Pasta and Bread and anything else made with highly refined grains. If it’s been ground into a powder like substance and then mixed back into something else, it’s highly processed. Sadly that would include beer (can you hear me crying?). These are all things I thought I’d never give up, but now in the quest to find thin I find myself putting a mental stigma on these things and saying, “No More”. Those will be on the rare and highly infrequent list of things to be ingested. Can’t say I’ll never drink beer again, but when I do it’s going to be really great beer and I’ll enjoy it to the fullest.
I’ve been taking pictures in the mirror most mornings, in my shorts no less and I see some pretty good changes already. Only 14 days and my clothes fit differently, very differently and I find my attitude is improving overall. I used to fight with certain momentary depressions, we all do. But when I would eat certain things I think it was worse, never debilitating but sometimes a real struggle. Eating plant based seems to have taken most, if not all of that away. Could be psychological, but it really doesn’t matter because my mind says it’s true.
Two weeks,.. it seems like an eternity now but it’s only been two weeks. This much change in two weeks alone I never thought was possible. With determination, this is happening and part of it is this crazy blog that very few actually read. I guess that keeps my brand of crazy under wraps to some extent,..
Yesterday I had about 3 oz of walnuts, 1 oz of cashews, about half a cup of beans and a small potato along with a medium salad dressed only with balsamic vinegar and some frozen fruit afterwards. Not a bad days eating for a touch over half a pound lost. Today, I’ll cut the nuts and increase the fruit during the workday. Net result is cutting the fat intake. Oh, and I had 1 oat cluster yesterday too. Those are the most dense things on the planet. Great amounts of fiber but there’s some sugar in there too, and it’s concentrated by the baking process which removes the water. Those need to be taken very carefully to keep losing weight. I don’t expect they’ll make me fat again later, but they aren’t good if I’m trying to reduce. For now, the limit is one a day.
